Congress could end it all today. Call your representatives. Call again, and call again. Keep calling.

Gang, we are not watching the Kennedy Center Honors tonight. Watch a Rob Reiner movie instead.

Everyone’s still going to call it the Kennedy Center just like we still call the Emerson Colonial Theatre the Colonial even though we can safely assume Charles Wesley Emerson was nowhere near as big of an asshole as the other guy.

I hate that it’s always “Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate” but simply “Merry Christmas.”

“Twelve days to Christmas,
Twelve days to Christmas,
Plenty of time to do your Christmas shopping…”

The problem with Jennifer Holliday in Dreamgirls is that once you’ve been fucked like that artistically no one else can satisfy.

I’m so glad he made it. I was terrified we’d have another Betty White situation.
Sending love and best wishes to Dick Van Dyke because tomorrow he’ll be 100 years old! 🥳

I feel like I’m going to be the first disappointing casting for Oh, Mary!

Imagine young Ann Miller as A Star To Be, ripping off her skirt and belting NYC.

With David Corenswet as Billy Bigelow, imagine Jonathan Bailey as Jule Jordan.

If the RSC needs to close the gap "between the costs of running the organisation and its current ability to generate revenue,” shouldn’t they start with having only one artistic director?

What if Nunsense were Nunnsense? An order of nuns putting on a Trevor Nunn revue to raise money.

I’m glad the Arthur Miller estate is allowing the upcoming production of Death of a Salesmen to explore earlier drafts of the text because Arthur Miller only lived 56 years after the opening of the original production so didn’t get an opportunity to explore all his options.

The Winter Garden is large, but commercial questions aside, Joe Mantello is the best play director working today so wait and see.

On World AIDS Day, if Michael Bennett had lived to complete his work on Chess, we wouldn’t have to “fix” the book with an RFK Jr. joke.

I was probably the only kid on my college campus who had Tom Stoppard’s The Real Thing in his Walkman.

People are combining the public domain Peter Pan and the public domain Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, but when will the public domain Show Boat pick them up?

What did you get on Record Store Day? I got Goddard Lieberson’s two-record set of Follies.

Also, the three record set of the Original Broadway Cast of Dreamgirls recorded live and complete.

The front row is a great place to sit if you want to see all of Patti LuPone in Working.
