Barbra convinced me that maybe audiobooks are the best way to "read" a memoir, but now they've been ruined. 😠

The Ai generated voice is reading the text of the book and it’s obvious no one ever went back in and fixed and polished things up, which is why sentences end and begin in a weird flow. They literally just hit record, uploaded the file, and that’s it. No proofing to make sure it sounded right, et

I'd probably have started the audiobook if I was sure it was real, but I'm gonna wait 'til I pick up my physical copy on March 23rd.
I just remembered that Stephanie J. Block narrated Cher's memoir, and that she also played Liza on Broadway. A missed opportunity, I certainly would have preferred that to AI.

Any chance Liza might head over to see Billy at the Birdland after the book event on Monday 23rd?

Is sports just "entertainment"?
I’ve always found it sad that sport is sacrosanct, revered, hero-making… but arts and culture is just unimportant colorful fluff. Societally speaking. ☹️

Casual theater goers, or first timers, aren't aware of the hoops they need to jump through to get a semi-reasonable price. They just glance disbelievingly at the outrageous figures and move on. Never to return.
It's not outrageous to suggest the Mayor of NY might intervene in tourist/economic/social/educational matters. It was just a question.
I’m jealous, quizking. Sounds like a great trip, very well planned. 7 shows in 3 days? I tip my hat.

How do unions etc. play into the stratospheric prices for something like the return of Leslie Odom Jr.? Surely pure greed plays a role too.

Theater is for the elite. A sad state of affairs. Can Mamdani do something?

John Adams,
Matt Rogers has a join date of 2004. That's over two decades of BroadwayWorld patronage. If he feels he has been disrespected, it's perfectly valid that he expresses that however he sees fit.

Quiet CHESS Extension?

Right, but we can't always get what we want. What if "Chess" wants something different?

Has anyone else noticed an increase in “nose breathing” by performers on Broadway?
Mar 10 2026, 11:25:48 AM
Is this why "mouth breathers” became a derogatory term?

I see the book event in New York will feature movie clips , and Feinstein is bringing a piano. 60 minutes to fill. I'm still excited.

That posed photo of Liza in a recording session can only have been an attempt to con us. ☹️

Kad said: "Celebrities and public figures seldom actually write their own memoirs."
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.

At least she seems happy to be there.
I didn't realize Michael Feinstein had stopped dying his hair.
