People are combining the public domain Peter Pan and the public domain Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, but when will the public domain Show Boat pick them up?

The front row is a great place to sit if you want to see all of Patti LuPone in Working.

What did you get on Record Store Day? I got Goddard Lieberson’s two-record set of Follies.

Also, the three record set of the Original Broadway Cast of Dreamgirls recorded live and complete.

I wish Florence Henderson were still around to do a Wicked/Wesson tie-in because everyone deserves the chance to fry.

I spend a lot of time thinking about 98-year-old Bernadette Peters playing Marie in a 2046 revival of Sunday in the Park with George.

Boston has the best Mayor.
An honor and dream come true to perform alongside Yo-Yo Ma, presented by Celebrity Series at Boston Symphony Hall. 💜

Side Show would work if you cast the Jonas Brothers as conjoined triplets Daisy, Violet, and Nick.

Who could ever have imagined that a replacement Electra from 1960 would be headlining on Broadway in 2025? Welcome home, June Squibb!

Maybe the way to fix Chess is to have Elaine Paige direct it with Jonathan Groff as Florenz.

It’s that point in the day when I’m wondering what if Anna Antonelli had sold The Rink to Sonny Malone and Danny McGuire who then converted it into Xanadu?

To break it down for my audience:

Bloomberg spent $9.5M trying to elect Cuomo.

The original production of Carrie cost $8M

Someone should write a book about flop political campaigns called Not Since Cuomo.

I forgot Dick Cheney was even alive.

You can’t “steal the show” if you’re playing Bat Boy in Bat Boy. It’s your show and could only be stolen from you.

This is me dressed as Angela Lansbury in Mame.

Happy Halloween!

Besides being a swell actress, the late June Lockhart took a stand for gay rights way back in 1970. ❤️

Tim Curry was nominated for Tony Awards in 1981, 1993, and 2005. None of his nominations were for Me and My Girl, a role originated by 1987 Tony-winner Robert Lindsay.

Lea Michele now bows in white so don’t try and tell me that no one uses previews to make good changes.

I don’t want to hear about any ballroom that doesn’t include Dorothy Loudon being crowned queen.

If Bob Fosse had directed A Chorus Line, Cassie wouldn’t have gotten the job.
