Has there been a show in the history of Broadway that had a financially successful production after two previously unsuccessful outings on the main stem, or will The Rocky Horror Show be the first if it pulls it off?

Annette Dionne, who shared in her siblings’ fame as one of the first quintuplets known to survive infancy, died on Wednesday at 91. She was the last surviving sister.
Annette Dionne, Last of the Celebrated Quintuplets, Dies at 91
She was the first to crawl, the first to cut a tooth, the first to recognize her name, and the last to die. And, like her sisters, she resented being exploited as part of a global sensation.

We talk a lot about how broken American healthcare is for patients… but why did it take my insurance company almost two years to pay my doctor for a routine visit?

They couldn't figure out how to do it with The Muppets, and now Disney is facing the same issue with the MCU.
RDJ, Evans, and others returning is symptomatic of Marvel's struggles to make the post-Endgame characters stick. But it hasn't helped that so many of them have had only one appearance. I know some of this is due to Covid and the strikes, but it's bizarre there wasn't a Shang-Chi sequel, for instance

I’m nearly 48 years old and I just learned that one of the prominent musical themes in The Wizard of Oz was not composed by Herbert Stothart, like the rest of the instrumental score, but was an arrangement of a 19th century piece by Robert Schumann.

Three D's defected to vote for this disgusting bill. If they hadn't, it wouldn't have moved forward.

The House passed legislation today that would charge doctors with a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison for providing transition-related care to minors.
Rep. Sarah McBride strongly condemned the legislation in rare personal remarks ahead of the vote.

On Thanksgiving my father-in-law randomly gave me some Rolling Stones album he claims is the best live album ever recorded. Should I get him Judy at Carnegie Hall for Christmas to set him straight (so to speak)?
