"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

Sondheim Theatre... sounds cool!

I like to see a theatre named after Jerry Herman someday.
I have several names, one is Julian2. I am also The Opps Girl. But cross me, and I become Bitch Dooku!

I like the idea of Williams and Porter.

If the Mark Hellinger Theatre ever returned, I wouldn't mind if it was renamed in honor of Alan Jay Lerner, since Lerner's My Fair Lady, On a Clear Day, Coco and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue all played there.

I have to agree. I'm outraged Idina hasn't had a theatre named after her. Maybe we should re-name the Tony's while we're at it. re: Who deserves to have a theater named after them?

Who didn't see that one coming? Maybe Idina could have a sandwich named after her.

I think its time for The Andrew Lloyd Weber!
...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

I think we should we wait on that one until his career winds down or he dies, which will probably happen simulantiously.

i hope for the sake of humanity that idina menzel was a joke. If it was than it was funny.

But besides that, i'll go with sondheim, bernstein, and tennesee williams for now

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Maybe they could just give Menzel a doughnut with her name or something...

Sondheim is probably going to get a theater… someday

How often are theatres named after performers? I mean, I just can't imagine a theatre named "Angela Lansbury Theatre" or "Chita Rivera Theatre"...
