No, not that Laura Ingalls. The one from the musical, Kara Lindsay.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been smitten with Kara Lindsay and Kevin Massey ever since they played Laura and Almanzo, respectively, in the Little House musical. Sadly Little House never made it off the tour and onto Broadway, but the two actors have been keeping busy just the same. Kevin’s currently on Broadway in “Memphis” (as an understudy for Huey), and Kara just this month made her debut starring in a stage version of the 1992 musical film “Newsies.” You can read about the show in an inerview with Kara here.

Admittedly, part of my longstanding dedication to Kara and Kevin is the fact that they fell in love while playing Laura and Almanzo–and they’re still together. (I interviewed them twice about their roles and their relationship in the Homesteader, issue 14 and issue 16.) In the interview linked above, she says they’ll probably be together “forever.” Yes, it brings a tear to my eye, that does.

If you’re in or around the NYC area, catch Kara in “Newsies”! Here’s a cool preview. Kevin also maintains a Facebook page where he updates when he’s going on as Huey.
