Rick is very happy about being nominated again for two Ovation awards. The first one is for Book for an Original Musical and the second for Music and Lyrics for an Original Musical. The LA Times says the original musical written by Rick Batalla, with music by Rick Batalla and Henry Phillips, is "a Laugh Riot that runs on High Octane Laughter that never slows down".

Get the original cast recording at CD Baby. 16 songs for 11 bucks? That's crazy. Get it and hear why audiences say "The Songs are so catchy I can't get them out of my head", and critics say "The rockin' songs actually take you back to 1977, dress you up in short shorts, and put roller skates on you". I'm not sure what that means, but I think that's good. Go to Itunes or CD Baby and order today.
I am real proud to be in Garry Marshalls Valentines Day. Starring Ashton Kutcher, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Garner, Taylor Swift, Jamie Foxx, George Lopez, Me and pretty much everyone else who happened to be in Hollywood at the time. The movie is a romantic comedy that follows the lives of people who are in love, out of love, and all around love.
