Re: Falsettos Reunion Concert

What was the Jason situation? Was Anthony Rosenthal the Jason, or otherwise? The marketing had been confusing about that.

Helen Shaw's week in London: A Knockout Josh O’Connor, Cate Blanchett and More

What a great read. I hope that that "Golden Boy" transfers. Josh O'Connor is just wonderful. Off-topic, but I wonder if there will ever be another production of the "Golden Boy" musical --- unfortunate that, although more daring racially than the play (and both written by Odets), the musical has aged far worse.

I am very doubtful that this will get any butts in seats... but I think she will be FABULOUS in the show.

September L. Davis --- THE APOLOGY TOUR

Sep 21, 2026 — 3:26:44 PM

I wasn't expecting much going in, but this show really delighted me last night. A lot of thought has been put into the structure of this and there are quite a few moments of musical comedy gold. The audience was wild for it, and Gasteyer is a marvel. I really doubted this could stretch to a whole evening, but it kept surprising me... it's almost a one-act book musical that's pretending to be a cabaret act. I'm not quite sure how to categorize it, but I haven't laughed so much in a while. That...

Who’s seen preexisting condition?

Sep 9, 2026 — 1:01:44 AM

I saw it last week and found it extraordinary. I missed it in its original run. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since I saw it, which is very rare for me. I highly recommend. I went with a friend who it is a very personal topic for (she knew the subject of the play going in). She also loved it and said she was surprised at how deftly and respectfully it handled the topic. Greg Keller is a really wonderful actor. Obviously she's the heart of the show, but he's so quietly great in...

Re: THE INVITE to come to Broadway in 2027? J

Hard agree with you, Jordan. Yesterday I heard Seth Rogen speak with Lulu Garcia-Navarro on the NYT Interview Podcast (really worth a listen!) about how much the script changed in rehearsals for the film based on THESE specific actors and what THEY think about relationships and love. I really think this wonderful movie is a work unto itself that (beyond being so defined by its onscreen direction) is also just too linked with the actors involved. Seth Rogen's signature laugh is practically a l...

Re: Jonathan Bailey and Ariana Grande in SITPWG?

Sep 1, 2026 — 4:20:56 PM

Groff is the only current leading man I want to see take on this role. I think the production rises or falls on its leads. I can't say I was too, too confident in Grande and Bailey, but was hoping to be pleasantly surprised. Groff would be excellent. He has the same excitement in those tenor notes that Mandy Patinkin does, where the general tenor of his voice makes you think he won't be able to hit them, and then he knocks it out of the park.

Rosie's future in late-night

Aug 24, 2026 — 7:00:27 PM

I think Rosie has been wonderful on Kimmel. A couple off moments, but understandable when she's been away for a while. I would love to see her return full-time.

Re: THE FANTASTICKS at the Hayes -- Casting Speculation

Do we have any info on what gender El Gallo will be? I know that the fathers are now mothers and both the lovers sons --- is there further gender-swapping or is that it? Have the creatives said anything?
