In the last year, two of Dallas’ reigning divas — Liz Mikel and Cedric Neal — left the stages of North Texas to conquer Broadway: Mikel in a star-making role in Lysistrata Jones (which, unfortunately, closed too soon) and Neal in the ensemble of the hit revival of Porgy & Bess (you could even see him on the Tony Awards). The two former members of the Dallas Theater Center resident acting company were finally back together in a North Texas theater this week… just not onstage. They attended WaterTower Theatre’s opening night of Smokey Joe’s Cafe. Even though Mikel is currently in Joseph … Dreamcoat, it was still fun seeing them back together.
