I saw his La Cage back in London before it transferred and honestly loved it and loved his performance in it. But I could also tell watching it that it could very possibly be a pretty divisive performance, so I've never been too surprised at the detractors.

Really? Theatre is entirely about escapism and not any sort of examination or reflection of society? It's inappropriate to suggest that art bears any sort of responsibility to be thoughtful in its content?
I'm so happy to see The Mad Ones in a prominent Off-Broadway venue. I've loved their amazing work for years; Samuel & Alasdair: A Personal History of the Robot War remains one of the most remarkable theatrical experiences I've ever had. I've had the pleasure to see all four of their plays. The specificity and naturalism of their work is truly incredible.
I mean, these websites don't have to listen to Google if they don't want to. Google isn't a law enforcement agency. They just have to follow guidelines if they want to use Google's advertising service. This is far from the first guideline Google has for its advertisers.
It's not just good publicity. It's good customer service to its users. They already have guidelines about how advertisers can't have copy in their ads that are misleading/a
My understanding is that it's fairly standard for a glass of wine to cost about the same in a restaurant as the bottle might retail. It's worth noting that 54 Below pours about a glass and a half rather than a standard 5 oz glass.
John Adams said: "To be honest, I'm not sure that summarily firing people in these situations is really the best solution. If it's "right" for some (like those in Politics, or the Arts), shouldn't it be "right" for all? What would the consequences be if this were applied in the world of Finance? How would our economy fare if men in the world of business and finance were summarily fired at the same rate as those in Politics or the Arts? Certainly, the c
Bar Rail for me, but this comes down strongly to preference. I'd rather a row or two behind those first Ringside seats, just because I don't personally like being quite that close and having to look up. Some people really like that, though! Hence: preference.
The physical layout is exactly the same, it's just that some higher-priced shows are mapped with additional sections.
That was extreme sarcasm, for the record. How incredibly tasteless of Plummer. "It's so sad that he's losing work now that he's been publicly identified
My first exposure to Bare was a developmental reading a few years before the revival happened. It had an amazing cast: Andy Mientus, Zak Resnick, Carrie Manolakos, Katrina Rose Dideriksen, Gerard Canonico... I think Andy in particular really wanted to go with the show Off-Broadway, but it happened right when he booked Smash.
I wept profusely that first time I heard them go through the full show. Unfortunately, a subsequent reading and then the final product

His indiscretions have been known in Hollywood circles for years."
I mean, yeah. Totally. But I'd still rather people get fired for their gross sexist because of the business impact (instead of actual morality) than not at all.

That doesn't make sense. There's no world in which a Broadway cast album would cannibalize sales for a movie musical.
Nah, you only have to worry about changing your name if someone's already registered with the exact name you're using. (So if someone else already joined as Claire [Your Last Name].) Carrie and Claire really aren't that similar to be confusing.
