Yeah, I know ghostwriting is common, I just feared that this went beyond that. That the ghostwriters were ghosting Michael, not Liza. I'm happy to be wrong.

Good to know, thanks. A Pulitzer winner on the team is somewhat reassuring too.

 

I don't think Liza has "written a book". My guess is Michael F has just spewed out all the confidential dinner stories she has shared with him over the years. Fed them to two journalists who made a book out of it. In "Liza’s" voice. I'm unsure if she is even aware of its contents.

The Met has no dress code.

You won't be turned away, Phantom4Ever. Enjoy!

 

At least she seems happy to be there.

I didn't realize Michael Feinstein had stopped dying his hair.

I'm not gaslighting, I just don't pay close enough attention to his offscreen life. I still remember him as the young guy who helped James Ivory up onto the Oscar stage.

 

When did he become douchey? Or did he?

I remember him on The Graham Norton Show around the time of Wonka. He was on the couch with Cher, Julia Roberts, and Tom Hanks. He spoke of having "imposter syndrome" whilst in their company. He seemed modest.

No.

Voting has already closed.

Are these irregular slots more likely to have an understudy/alternate appear in lead roles?

Me again, sorry.

Perhaps the NB thing is why no nomination for Mason Alexander Park? They share my logic, so declined to submit their name for consideration?

On Jo Foster, though…

Why do "non binary" actors accept a "binary" category?

Same with Cole Espousa.

Even if given a choice, they still need to "bind" themselves to one label. Which seems totally not in the spirit of how they identify.

A woman nominated for Best Actor?

I wrote to Sondheim once and got his famous typed letter in response, complete with signature. Not in person, but I’m not in doubt of its authenticity. He even included a brand new signed Follies CD! I cherish it.

Don't ticket-buyers for the March 21st event get a signed a book?

Y'never know, the signatures could be from her own hand. She was signing an autograph in that completely natural looking photo from the audio session.

Uhh, well, to lie about that would be an act of fraud, so."


Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think autopen counts as legally valid so long as the named person authorizes it. Isn't that how POTUSes do it?

Simon & Schuster sold signed Bob Dylan books back in 2022, complete with cert of authentication. $600 each. Turns out they were auto-pen. 

Megan Mullally at the Goodman! From June, if you're back.

Fine. Deep breath.


Where are we likely to get confirmation?
