When a friend of mine went to see it recently and we compared notes, we realized we had been laughing about it for almost an hour."
Same here, but I still don't think I'd say it's so bad it's good. More like so bad it's remarkable. I wasn't bored but only because I was absolutely agog at what was on stage. If it was a $30 off-off-Bway show I'd probably recommend it to people.

The thing about "they couldn't have known he was suicidal/depressed/vulnerable" is that, no, you don't always know what someone is dealing with. Treating people with decency costs nothing. If you can't do your job without bullying or abuse, you are not good at your job. Someone who bullies or abuses a vulnerable person (even unknowingly) is partly responsible for the outcome, morally if not legally.
If the Weisslers have hired an attorney to investigate the matter, and there's a chance they had a hand in trying to push Jeff out of the company, who's to say that the lawyer will be unbiased?
There are entire law firms that just bust unions and do management-friendly "investigations." They're nailing down a favorable version of the facts right now that they can use in future litigation.
Honestly, I don't think this is fixable. They'd have to strip it down for parts and start from the beginning. And to do that, the creators would have to admit it needs to change. According to friends I went with, nothing has changed since the staged reading a year ago. The book is as bad as everyone says. It's unclear that the two main characters are the main characters until significantly into Act 1. They share their deepest secrets and become besties in one evening at the Museum

I stayed for the whole thing. The first act is a lot better than the second. I actually liked the first act, but it is dense. The second act was a downhill slide until a painfully long scene about the nature of god that made me want to flee the theater.
But as an outsider, the only impression I have is that Odom is a polite but proud man who was more upfront about his role in the negotiations for more money with the Hamilton producers
I saw him at a small Q&A at Drama League and this is exactly the impression I got. He was very thoughtful, and quietly proud of his abilities and accomplishments (and of Hamilton). He didn't come across as arrogant at all. I don't think there's anything wrong with a talented per
It is also, interestingly (or not), an international human right under the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Interestingly, the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the criminal justice standard for determining guilt do not apply to public opinion or employment decisions. There is a spectrum of proof from "none" to "beyond a reasonable doubt," and employers (and the public) are perfectly within their rights to use a standard
I thought it was engaging, funny, and moving. Each girl has a distinct personality developed just by watching them interact with each other. It's wonderful and too rare to see girls' lives treated like they're worthy of writing and caring about. I'm thrilled it's doing so well.
Since false accusations are incredibly rare, and disbelieving victims has enabled people like Weinstein and Spacey (and the regular non-famous abusers everywhere), I'm gonna keep believing victims. I will do so based on the evidence that false accusations are rare, that men get away with abusive behavior every day, and that victims are chronically disbelieved, second-guessed, and blamed. So please don't mischaracterize that as an emotional, biased response. (Ladies, so emotional, amir
wouldn't it be more classy to give Kevin a phone call and ask him in person why he has done this terrbible thing that has upset him for all these years and what he himself has to say about it, instead of doing this in a public tweet/press release?
So now we're judging how victims disclose? There is a "classy" way to deal with being abused at 14? No victim should ever feel obligated or judged for not calling up their abuser for a chat. Jesus Christ, this is w
I love Patti and I love that she speaks her mind. I love men who don't call women bitches and don't tell them to shut up.
she was paid a million dollars for not working.
She was paid a million dollars for breach of contract. If someone makes a legally binding promise to you, you get to sue them if they break it. I'm sorry basic contract law makes you so mad.
