Light Shining in Buckinghamshire at NYTW  Apr 29 2018, 07:08:36 PM
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.

Leslie Odom, Jr. Interview on Tavis Smiley  Dec 8 2017, 06:31:20 PM

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


Broadway Casting Director Fired for Sexual Misconduct  Dec 1 2017, 05:04:31 PM

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


THE WOLVES Reviews  Nov 21 2017, 02:49:00 PM

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.



Pride and Prejudice at Cherry Lane  Nov 21 2017, 12:40:23 PM

I agree. I felt like Sense & Sensibility relied less on funny voices and mugging. It still made me laugh a lot, and I would recommend it.

Has anyone seen it yet?

African Mean Girls Play@MCC  Nov 10 2017, 09:33:38 PM
I saw it tonight and really enjoyed it. It's very funny and ends up being quite moving.

Anthony Rapp: Kevin Spacey Made A Sexual Advance Toward Me When I Was 14  Oct 31 2017, 10:38:12 AM

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

Anthony Rapp: Kevin Spacey Made A Sexual Advance Toward Me When I Was 14  Oct 30 2017, 08:40:44 AM

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


ALW lawyer warns LuPone of 'false and libelous' statements  Oct 25 2017, 08:54:46 AM

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.



National Theatre's PEOPLE, PLACES & THINGS  Oct 20 2017, 06:41:39 PM

Any suggestions about seating? Is there an open aisle in front of Row D? Or is the leg room generally OK?



HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD to Take the Lyric Theatre in 2018  Oct 18 2017, 11:16:46 AM

Oh my ****ing god, I had to click on accessible seating for it to show the prices and let me click on "find tickets." What hot garbage.



HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD to Take the Lyric Theatre in 2018  Oct 18 2017, 11:05:26 AM

Is it working? I was able to select a date, but now I'm at a screen with a drop down "select price" menu but that isn't showing any prices, and I can't click on the "find tickets" button.



Thoughts on the current Hamilton BROADWAY cast  Oct 17 2017, 02:18:07 PM

I saw it in April & thought Inglehart, Weber (as Hamilton), & Medina were all fantastic. Lexi has improved a lot since she started. Generally, I thought the current male cast members were great, and the women weak, which is disappointing. I've also found, though, that people who didn't see the OBC are happier with the current cast.



Barrett Doss, Oak Onaodowan cast in ShondaLand Drama  Oct 6 2017, 06:09:53 PM

Hahahahaha. I am so happy for him! He's such a wonderful talent, and given Shonda's well-known intolerance for crap, I wonder if some of the **** talk about Oak has been . . . inaccurate. I'll be tuning in.



Angels Taking the Simon for 18 Weeks!  Oct 6 2017, 10:50:07 AM

Success! Finally worked on my phone.



Angels Taking the Simon for 18 Weeks!  Oct 6 2017, 10:34:29 AM

Change www. to www1. and you get the map.

Thanks! That worked, but now I keep getting "sorry can't process your request" after I put tickets in my basket.



Angels Taking the Simon for 18 Weeks!  Oct 6 2017, 10:14:18 AM

Fuck not being able to pick your seats. I'm really tall and can't do 8 hours of play in the middle of a row.



Lin-Manuel Kicks Butt  Oct 2 2017, 08:42:58 AM

Is that your definition of liberal, inclusiveness?

My definition of liberal inclusiveness does not include racists and nazis or the people who vote for them, no. "So much for the tolerant left" is the weakest gotcha. If tolerance meant tolerating someone with a long history of racism & misogyny, then our minds would be so open our brains would fall out. Find another way to defend Trump voters, if you can.



Lin-Manuel's Righteous Anger  Oct 1 2017, 09:32:35 AM

It's amazing what #MAGA idiots are willing to defend. Trump waited days to waive the Jones Act (because people in shipping didn't want it waived) and then only for 10 days. The USNS Comfort didn't depart until yesterday. He launched a racist attack against Puerto Ricans from his 63rd golf course vacation because these Americans trapped on a destroyed island can't conjure food, water, & fuel out of thin air.

Also, you're nuts if you think the Mirandas haven't
