I finally got to see this tonight and it is truly just a goddamn delight of a production. A perfectly cast, well-directed production of an utterly charming show. I haven’t seen a production since the original tour- it’s easy to forget how well-crafted and effective the show is. It disarms you with its audiences spellers, eccentric characters, and hilarious sample sentences in the first half, then makes the characters’ struggles and anxieties very real and heartfelt in the se

Paul McCartney was busted in Japanin 1980 I believe and spent a bunch of time alone in Japanese jail cell and he is a bigger name(lol) than Jeremy Harris. I think maximum sentence was around 7 ye

Stop fiddling with nice but meaningless quality of life fixes and actually do something for the security of this board.

It's a good outcome in this sense: JOH being out of prison is more just than him being inprison. The rest of the world is going to be a total unjust ****-show either way

I don't agree with the punitive Japanese laws in this matter and I certainly didn't want Harris, or anyone else, to receive those penalties. But the fact remains that it seems like he evaded them because of who he is and/or who he knows, and that the overwhelming majority of others in the same position will not be as fortunate.  It's hard to see that as a just or reasonable outcome- it's just as unfair and twisted as the system itself. If this had gone to trial and he pre

The industry as a whole is no longer seeing the audience behaviors we’ve relied on to shape our strategies for decades. This has led us to the painful decision to move our closing earlier, toSunday, December 21st."

Audience behaviors??? What?"

They clearly mean audience

Throw in a RuPaul Drag Race somebody, etc. It will likely be a contender for Best Musical and launch its brand. I'm assuming that's the goal. I don't think anyone is realistically expecting it to sell out the St. James."

It’s already a launched brand- it’s had productions in the UK, Austra
