I’m performing in “Blow the Man Down: A Sea Shanty Concert” for my Birthday Weekend! Super fun way to spend a rainy weekend in LA. Fri 11/14 at 7pm & Sat 11/15 at 9:30pm. If you like Ren Faires and Shakespeare and 6 part harmonies you’ll love this. 🏴‍☠️

A mutual of mine directed Guys and Dolls at USC last week and Mark Hamill was in the audience. And all I could think of was…

They don’t make ‘em like her anymore. Give me a gravelly voiced dancer-first Broadway star again.
Celebrating Ann Reinking on her birthday with this astonishing Jack Mitchell photo. Annie was elegant, intelligent, hilarious, bawdy, ferocious, silly, empathetic, and deep as the ocean. 💔💜

For some reason my feed is completely hijacked (happily!) by people I know working Off-Broadway. Two of the shows were LA theatre transfers (cuz we’re a theatre town 💁🏼‍♀️), and the other just has a gal I know who is PERFECT for the part she got. The theatre world is so. SMALL.

Wicked: One Wonderful Night is tonight on NBC! If you look into the crowd you may find me and @jenelleriley.bsky.social (house left orchestra seats haha).

Back in September @jenelleriley.bsky.social asked me if I’d like to join her for the taping of a “big Wicked special at the Dolby,” and I wasn’t allowed to post about it…UNTIL NOW! “Wicked: One Wonderful Night” premieres on Thursday, Nov 6th!

Not to be THAT guy (I will though. I’ve earned it), but our city burned down this year. A World Series win is a nice low-stakes little “yay!” for us. Go Dodgers - I don’t care much about sports, but I love my hometown.

One of the best things about social media is seeing everyone’s Halloween costume pics on Nov 1st. Seriously I love it so much.

My students somehow got it into their heads that I’m going to be Glinda for Halloween. My oh my they’re gonna be in for some tonal whiplash when they see what my costume actually is…

Man I can’t believe we’re getting a minor heatwave the week of Halloween. Classic SoCal weather stuff. 👻

I mean. I dunno. In my humble opinion no one has ever done Sweeney better than Hearn. How does he sing those notes like a hair metal baritone? Perfect October stuff this is. youtu.be/Dr1XZnPIawg?...

LA is a Theatre Town! So proud that two theatre companies I was a member of are on this list (Sacred Fools & The Chance Theater), but also the THREE amazing companies in my hometown alone (Pasadena Playhouse, Boston Court, and A Noise Within). www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Watching The Lost Boys and playing our drinking game. Every time anyone says “Michael,” ya drink. You’ll get wasted on Kiefer’s lines alone.

So uh I recently found this guy behind my house. He’s heavy and I don’t know why it’s there. We’ve had no scary spooky activities in our home, though, and we’ve been here for months and months.

I should just leave it there, right? I mean, just to be safe, I shouldn’t fuck with this…right?

Never forget that you can listen to baby Diane Keaton in the OBC of Hair, most notably on “Black Boys.” Her voice is pretty unmistakeable.

My thesis is in first draft mode, but I'm 100% at the stage where I can't see what needs to be fixed other than typos and grammatical errors (ugh I'm sure there are still so many in there).

Anyone wanna read it and gimme notes? 😃💐🌷

I genuinely am so glad they lowered the key for Golden for Huntrix’s recent live performances. Just a step is still extremely impressive (G5 instead of A5 is FINE), and like, let’s preserve EJAE’s voice cuz she’s gonna be singing it live a LOT more methinks.
