Very happy to see Kevin Wong’s Musical Stage Company commissioned musical a @namt.org Festival of New Musicals selection!
Oh, happy day: Kevin Wong’s luminous, wrenching musical Soft Magical Tofu Boy(s) has been programmed as part of the Festival of New Musicals in New York.
A year ago (?!), I watched a workshop of this show in a converted barn in CT and hoped hard that I’d get to see it again. This is huge.

Glad the Toronto production of Come From Away got the chance to truly come to the end of its run.
It will be excellent news for the country's regionals to get the rights.
And may the Gander production be an annual tradition to rival Anne in Charlottetown. www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/theatre...
