Re: Falsettos Reunion Concert

Oct 18, 2026 — 10:20:18 PM

That was an unforgettable evening, but we really need to have a conversation about audience behavior.In the balcony, at least, the (VERY young) crowd was all but having a competition over who could scream, sniffle, sob, clap, or "awww" the loudest. An engaged and responsive audience can be integral to what makes theater so special, but this crowd was just plain self-indulgent and performative. They were also seemingly unable to sit still (checking phones, chatting, digging through their bags,...

THE HEART previews (Off-Broadway)

Oct 16, 2026 — 11:56:52 AM

This show had me hooked for the first twenty minutes, but it gradually settled into something frustratingly safe - and ultimately toothless. The end result felt like a facsimile of what a "modern musical" is "supposed" to sound and look like, rather than a production with its own distinct pulse (pun intended). While entertaining enough on the surface, it never came close to achieving the gut-level emotional honesty and resonance of something like NEXT TO NORMAL.The cast is solid across the bo...

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

I still think about the most recent, blistering Broadway revival of GOLDEN BOY and I'd love to see this production. After VANYA, I fully trust Sam Yates at the wheel of this play.The fact that Seth Numrich wasn't even Tony-nominated will forever haunt me. What a performance.

Daniel Fish: KRAMER/FAUCI starring Will Brill & Thomas Jay Ryan

Oct 5, 2026 — 10:42:46 PM

Rush to see this at St. Ann’s, especially if you missed it earlier this year. Thomas Jay Ryan is giving a volcanic yet emotionally measured stunner of a turn here. His performance has only grown in resonance since February. And what a treat to get to experience this show in an intimate space like St. Ann’s. Sit as close as you can for the optimal experience, in my opinion. But ultimately, wherever you sit, don’t miss this. Well worth the schlep to Brooklyn.

Absolutely heartbreaking. I realize it’s hardly a rarity to say SPRING AWAKENING was very formative for me, but it also speaks to how impactful that musical was and continues to be. May his legacy live on.

It wasn't clear at all...It's also kinda crazy that they didn't tell you during checkout if you were one of the 100 first buyers.

I don't even think the TT situation is a deal, either.I didn't realize every single seat in the theater for DOWNSTATE would be priced the same...I'm holding off.

Re: HERE THERE ARE BLUEBERRIES premiering on Broadway this fall

Sep 7, 2026 — 10:17:04 AM

FWIW, I’ve seen DOWNSTATE, BIRTHRIGHT, and BLUEBERRIES all Off Broadway and would easily rank them in that exact order. I don’t know what everyone’s talking about in terms of the lead being a major awards contender, considering she wasn’t even nominated for any major Off Broadway awards when BLUEBERRIES was eligible. Not a knock to her, so much as the writing itself. I found it to be impressively well-studied, but with no real dramatic heft or tension. It played like a great research paper, n...

THE INVITE to come to Broadway in 2027?

Sep 6, 2026 — 1:27:28 PM

Fans may get another crack at it — live — as (Producer) Permut says he hopes to take the play to Broadway next year. He declined to elaborate. “I can’t right now, but I can tell you that we’re going to be doing it. That was always my intention. First to cut the umbilical cord with our movie, get that out the world. And now we’re starting to focus on the Broadway production. Nothing specific yet.”

It's lengthy and, frankly, kind of rambling and at times hard to follow, but the crux of it is that Harcourt continued to do their kiss on occasions in which Silk, with discussion and approval from production, requested it not occur due to health concerns."This is gross.
