Are they holograms or robots? 🤔 The staging of MARJORIE PRIME left me confused about what the "primes" actually ARE. The movie made it clearer! Where's the charging station?? Full review: youtu.be/EVN8wvHnvhM #MarjoriePrime #Broadway#HelenHayesTheater #TheaterTech #ProductionDesign

Missing the Kit Kat Club? Head over to the Hidden Jewel Box Theater at Port Authority bus terminal to see a show sexier than Broadway would ever dare! You have to see what this spunky group of performers has created in a former Mrs. Fields Cookie shop!

I went to opening night of Picnic at Hanging Rock at the historic Greenwich House Theater (aka Barrow Street Theater) last night! I was blown away by the talent involved in this new musical. Review coming soon!

“Three Bedroom House” from BAT BOY is one of the greatest musical theater songs! 🏠 It’s tuneful, funny, gives us a love confession, then flips into a dark, brilliant reprise. The emotional journey in one number is wild. Full review: youtu.be/uvTYKh1S1jo... #MusicalTheaterSongs #LaurenceOKeefe

The question every musical must answer: WHY does this story need to be a musical?
"Reunions" has lovely music and great actors, but the characters don't need to burst into song. It felt like singing dialogue.
Not every story needs to sing.

Heading to the Duke at 42nd Street Studios for Messy White Gays! Love this little black box—built in the ’90s, seats about 200, home to Peter and the Starcatcher. Got lost, found it, had thoughts. Full review: youtu.be/ah4vRpjCDbc

Wicked's moral: pretend to agree with authoritarians until you can overthrow them? That's... concerning. Especially now when politicians keep saying they're waiting for the "right moment" to stand up.

The "As Long as You're Mine" staging was SO awkward. They're singing "hold me too close, kiss me too deep" while standing across the room from each other?? Why. 😬

“Did You Eat?” hits hard when you know the history: from the 1980s–2000s, South Korea’s gender ratio skewed to 116 boys for every 100 girls due to son preference. This show digs into what it meant to grow up an unwanted daughter in that era.
