When I saw there was going to be a sneak peak of an #opera adapting one of my favorite books, George Saunders’ LINCOLN IN THE BARDO, I decided I could afford a $64 ticket to the American Lyric Theatre concert. #theatre

Hey, THE SHARK IS BROKEN UK proshot can be streamed on BroadwayHD now if any JAWS people are interested.
It’s a good play about dads.

I previously saw and reviewed the Broadway run with Ian Shaw and Alex Brightman as Dreyfuss and Colin Donnell as Roy Scheider. @slashfilm.bsky.social

New poll: UNH finds that November’s ballot measure in Maine that would greatly restrict mail voting, and impose voter ID, is *very* tight.

It’s 49% no, 48% yes. scholars.unh.edu/survey_cente...

One of the most suspenseful elections on November 4.

When "Summary Boxes" (like the gen AI ones in inboxes) popped up on publications and then my reviews & features, I started writing my own Summary Boxes at the bottom of the Google Doc draft, along with embargo time & press photo links, for my editor. Then I'll see how it compares upon publication.

Experiment: I have been sighting "summary boxes" on news outlets like the Generative AI ones in my inbox, and then this outlet I write for. Starting with this theatre review, I drafted my own summary box at the bottom of the doc for my editor. Then I would see how it ends up in the final product.

Well, tomorrow I talk to a general surgeon. Honestly nervous about it even if it’s just about an annoying armpit lipoma that gave me a medical psyche.

If anyone wants to take advantage of my temporary newspapersDOTcom, to find like an event or historical event, just let me know and I'll volunteer.

Well, I got a a few weeks left of my NewspapersDOTcom subscription (to research for a history column) if any researcher wants to ask me to find newspaper clippings.

I’m seated for the ART OF LEAVING play.

Short notice but I got a spare ticket TONIGHT for the ART OF LIVING, the off-Broadway play at Signature at 7:00PM. Indoor Seatmate Masking Rule.

I once fretted that #Centaurworld on Netflix didn't acquire Theatre Twitter chatter as much as, say, THE GILDED AGE, despite having a bevy of singing Broadway stars. So I think it's a net gain that Broadway fans express affection for something like #HazbinHotel.

maximinalist @maximinalist.bsky.social · 3d

Even having fun being part of the event, I feel the screening would have benefited with subtitles (and this is a screener accessibility thing even for critics/reviewers too) due to the sound mixing tinny at least to me on the far mezzanine end.

#HazbinHotel

maximinalist @maximinalist.bsky.social · 4d

Wait, how did I get here? It’s quite a story. #HazbinHotel

I haven’t been to Majestic since GYPSY.

maximinalist @maximinalist.bsky.social · 3d

The ultimate result is that we were seated at the back rows of Majestic, and seats were later freed up so people could move closer.

Going through one of my worst times during an NYCC month, having a friend with me made all the difference. I would have gone home from my retail shift if weren't for my friend texting me back and forth about their attempt at standby and me deciding I had a shot too.

Really still digesting the chaos of getting there, as a last-minute standby person, and the fact this was the first time I ventured into a proshot-procedural production (so you ever waited about 5 minutes for an "encore"?). #HazbinHotel

It’s not that the other #HazbinHotel cast members (most of whom I’ve seen perform live) don’t attract me, but my FOMO is mostly centered around Blake Roman, a guy I’ve only seen twice live (HARMONY off-Broadway & HARMONY on Broadway).
