News PHOTO CALL: Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Brooke Shields, Melissa Errico Visit Sherie Rene Scott's Piece of Meat Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Brooke Shields and more stopped by to visit three-time Tony Award nominee Sherie Rene Scott, last seen on Broadway in Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, after a performance of her cabaret show, Piece of Meat, at the Manhattan nightspot 54 Below.

In Piece of Meat, Scott explores her personal struggle through song. "After over 26 years of the happy, healthy vegetarian [lifestyle] — never having been tempted — I suddenly found myself faced with the overwhelming desire for meat," she told Playbill.com. "This was obviously something I wanted to keep very private, and I was having a big internal struggle with, and so I wrote about it. And, as Todd and I worked together, just wanting to put a show together of songs that we loved and enjoyed playing, Todd noticed how much the songs reflected [my struggle]… "This show is basically about all the investigating I did over this one piece of meat and how I felt like I had been a piece of meat at certain parts of my life. I identified with the meat. I identified with the animal and the prey, and I had compassion for that. To find myself on the other side, it was mind-blowing."

Here's a look backstage after the show:
