The Lights NEED To Be Dimmed For Joan Rivers
Posted: 9/5/14 at 05:04pm

As a Tony Award nominee and constant theater supporter, she deserves to have this honor. I'm surprised and a little upset that there hasn't been an announcement about it yet.

The fact that she was a Tony nominee is reason enough. Her support of Broadway is even more of a reason. She really helped The Great White Way.

As I have said, she truly LOVED the theater. I think recognizing her in this way would be appropriate and I really want this for her.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Keeping it classy, right Clyde? I'm expressing my opinion, just as everyone does...whether it's solicited or not.

There's nothing like Broadway at night, and I try to go to Mamma Mia! if possible, because I like to watch 15,000 Japanese tourists in the audience trying to sing "Waterloo." If you don't go to Broadway, you're a fool. On Broadway, off Broadway, above Broadway, below Broadway, go! Don't tell me there isn't something wonderful playing. If I'm home in New York at night, I'm either at a Broadway or an Off Broadway show. We're in the theater capital of the world, and if you don't get it, you're an idiot.

Come in a wheelchair, and they'll put you in an aisle. I know how to get around New York! A wheelchair will always get you a good seat. And the cast will come out to you to say hello if you're in a wheelchair. You don't have to go backstage. If you need a wheelchair, I usually just push a handicapped person out of one. And I love to hang around the Broadway area, because I offer the cops 50 bucks. If you offer a policeman 50 bucks, he will stop and frisk you.
