A salutory story from our courts correspondent.

A New York accountant has pleaded guilty to stealing $75,000 from Kansas City music director Michael Stern

– as well as $1.4 million from NBC actress Tamara Tunie  – in order to fund his private passion for Broadway musicals, such as Legally Blonde.

He’ll be sentenced in January.

“He accepts responsibility and wants to move on with his life,” says the lawyer.
