Upcoming Japanese production of GYPSY renamed as ROSE due to sensitivity regarding the original title Jan 27
2026, 06:51:20 PM
I've always held the opinion that the shows title shouldn't change, especially because that was her actual stage name. But I do want to say, I don't think Gypsy the musical and the Legacy Robe have anything to do with each other. Even though they use(d) the term in the same way (wanderer, tourfolk, etc), changing one (the show) feels irresponsible while changing the other (the robe) has always felt in good-faith to me.

CONTROVERSY: ORCHESTRA USES AI CLIPS IN LIVE CONCERT Jan 19
2026, 11:26:43 AM
John Adams said: "I can agree about "philosophically", but as for aesthetically, both are computer-generated which puts both on the same aesthetic plane."
I disagree, I've yet to see AI animation that doesn't look ghastly, especially when compared to non-AI animation. You can (hopefully) aesthetically tell when AI has been used for animation.

She eulogized a white supremacist on social media. If you can look at that and still shrug, the problem isn’t everyone else’s outrage, it’s your own broken moral compass. This isn’t normal, it isn’t defensible, and pretending otherwise just advertises h

I actually didn't hate the show, saw it with both KC and SRS, and I also don't think Kristin said anything "wrong." But similar to the show itself, if people are mass-misinterpreting something, it's best to get ahead of it and make your stance painfully, obviously clear. She didn't do that. Which is certainly her prerogative. I know she's not MAGA, but because she hasn't done any work to really make that clear to people, others won't. C'est l

“We wanted to examine the cost to a person and a society who value money and fame and acquisitiveness above all else, and we think it’s an important and timely subject,” he said. “If people saw the show and thought, ‘Well, they just didn’t do it well,’ fair enough. But this thought that we were somehow trying to celebrate or glorify billionaires is like saying ‘Sweeney Todd’ is glorifying cannibalism — it’s a complete misunders

Any Michael Arden show that isn't built upon the backs of a marginalized community will fail. That's his whole schtick - repackaging trauma that isn't his. He's never been a good director, but he was great at picking shows that made him seem like one.
Until now, I guess.

A lot of you guys are very clearly out of your depth when talking about race. Nuanced thinking is a learned skill, and apparently not a very intuitive one.

If the thunder from your Tony winning run in a Broadway hit can be stolen via a Facebook post... I fear we have other issues, my love.

Gasteyer was phenomenal in Mattress (and she's one of my favorite Columbia's)! I'd looove to see her Helen.

I believe Tveit is giving the best performance of his career, but I also agree that he's the weakest link here and you'd be better off seeing Lea and Nicholas.

So 'witch' was worse, Redwood or Queen of Versailles? Nov 25
2025, 02:07:02 PM
I thought both were just okay, and I think Idina gave the better performance (despite sounding pretty tired when I saw her) but The Queen of Versailles is 100% the better musical. I will always enjoy Idina on stage, and love that she champions completely new musicals on Broadway, but Redwood was a bewildering watch (to put it kindly.)
