Racism is going around telling POC that their experiences "aren't racially based." It's very clear how ignorant some of you are to the fullness of how this works. You're constantly perpetuating the very behavior you're denying."

The people (POC or not is irrelevant) absolutely get to deci

You don't even have to accept but again to disregard Black folks who tell you IT IS a microaggression is sad AF."

There's a huge difference between telling someone how to respond and calling someone out for slandering someone incorrectly.

No one is saying that Ms. L

City of Angels is one of those shows that the original staging was so brilliant, a lot of directors and designers have been hesitant to even try to rethink it and therefore it's been a bit lost to history.

Grand Hotel was sort of the opposite where it's a pretty mediocre script who's production was supposed to be, well, grand, but was ultimately kind of poorly received. So it kind of just became an afterthought in the late 80s/early 90s musical theatre canon.

But I a

Okay, so here's the deal: If you're looking for a  Shakespeare caliber book with a Sondheim caliber score, why are you buying tickets to Drag the Musical? If you're looking for a campy, ridiculously cheesy, over the top Rock of Ages meets Rocky Horror type of show, then this is the show you should be buying tickets to. Because what it is, is a fun, well staged, well performed little comedy show essentially. It won't win any awards, nor should it, but it's just a ridic

Isn't it strange that "Urinetown" had theBest Book, Best Score, and Best Direction, but "Thoroughly Modern Millie" was the Best Original Musical?"

It wasn't really that rare of a thing, especially at that time. 4 years earlier, Ragtime won Book

How about we just stop dimming the lights, period, since it seems like every time someone passes, it becomes a contest of who can be the loudest on social media to demand something from the Broadway League? Here's the truth: When the light dimming first became a thing, someone even of Gavin Creel's stature wouldn't even be considered for a light dimming, let alone all of the other names thrown around lately.

The sad fact is, someone who has been involved in the Broadway com

There will definitely still be future productions with "Bobby", but if Marianne Elliott is making a film version of it, that will almost certainly be "Bobbi". She's the one who brainstormed this whole concept and worked tirelessly wit

One that sort of combines both of these ideas (small role or category fraud) that has always confused me is Michael Cavanagh in Movin Out. On the one hand, you could say he's a member of the orchestra and not in the story at all and therefore truly the smallest "part" to be nominated. On the other hand, you could say he's literally singing solo from the moment the lights come up to the minute the lights go down, so how is that not leading? So you either have category fraud o
