Profile for BWAY Baby2

Julianna Margulies is tiptoeing back the racist, anti-LGBTQ+, and anti-Islam comments she made on a recent podcast. During a November 20 conversation about the violence in the Gaza Strip on The Back Room With Andy Ostroy, the Good Wife and Morning Show actress claimed the Black community had “been brainwashed to hate Jews.” She also criticized queer and trans people who are pro-Palestine, saying they were supporting “terrorists” who want to kill LGBTQ+ people.---RIGHT ON JULIANNA -SHE IS 100 PERCENT CORRECT!

Mother Play is a hit- so is Mary Jane. The play about Putin's rise to power is still playing- and so is Appropriate. There is plenty of quality theater around. 

I loved Come From Away. I hated A View From A Bridge- that latest one from  that Dutch director- whose work I detest. I saw All About Eve in London and he ruined that one too.

None of these major stars are doing it for the money- they are all extremely rich. They are doing it, most likely, for the challenge, the prestige and the accolades- being the toast of BWAY in a he sell out hit- which can do wonders for the ego and for the next possible career move.

Saw it in London with my brother and his wife- we all LOVED it. Highly recommend this show. Witty, funny, intelligent , fast moving and highly entertaining. 

Sat in 4th row center- great seats- but they were premium and 250 each- but if you have the money- cant think of a better way to spend it.

I loved Flora, The Red Menace. I still listen to the Liza Minnelli soundtrack- loved the show in 1965.

Love this memoir- a very interesting read. 

 

She did great with Yentl.

Second row center for me- musical or drama- you can see and hear everything. 

Flora The Red Menace it starred Liza- and Skyscraper- it starred Julie Harris

 

I London now- saw 5 A plus shows so far- loved them all---and highly recommend--Lion King, Hamilton, Groundhog Day, The Crucible, A Strange Loop- all excellent. Hamilton was an easy ticket- third row center- a much better experience of this masterpiece up close and center.

 

I have tickets Sunday, July 9.  Hoping it is really good.

LOL--While we are on the subject--Barbra should have gotten it for FG.

I have to say- I thought the actor- who was black- did a great job in the Lehman Trilogy- and it is true he played multiple roles- is there any example of a Jew or any white person being cast in the role of any hispotirfcally black person? I can't think of any.

 

Interesting discussion. My point about casting black people as celebrated Jews- but not casting white people or Jews as celebrated black people- ever- is what I find to be a double standard--Florenz Ziegfeld and a Lehman Brother being two recent examples. But, I see that has no traction on this board. 

 

I agree as well- I love Sean Hayes and hope to see it. But, we are discussing the broader questions of Jewish participation in the diversity discussion. I hope Sean Hayes has a long run- and I cant wait to see it.
