Patti LuPone better not read this article!

"The actress — most famous for making a cameo appearance on the hit TV show 30 Rock, singing this song, and for starring in a play about a lady called Eva."
That's what's called a joke, folks. You see, she's actually obviously most famous for Evita so the writer buries that after two things that she's not famous for! To potentially humorous effect!

TONY Tony predictions

The numbers make it look more scientific than it could possibly be, but the predictions generally look about right. Right?

Time Out NY'S 25 Best Tony Performances

Love this list.
Feldman is a huge supporter of "Caroline, or Change" so I'm surprised he didn't include Pinkins's performance. But she was not in very good voice that night.
Evita is number 20 because it was lip-synched, as the article says. And "City Lights" just goes on forever.

The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity Review

"They're just daily reviewers, not great thinkers or even theatre scholars." Wrong. This year's Pulitzer committee included not just daily reviewers (there were three, of whom at least one, Charles McNulty, is indeed a certified "theatre scholar," with a PhD from Yale) but also John Clum, a "theatre scholar" at Duke University, and Nilo Cruz, a "playwright." Doesn't mean all of their choices are necessarily unassailable, but get your facts straight at least.

Uh-huh. I liked CHAD DEITY so I must be an intern at Second Stage. Because who else liked it? Except, say, the members of the Pulitzer nominating committee. And thousands of others.
And no, I wouldn't expect you to recognize yourselves as weak-minded. That's kind of the thing about being weak-minded: You tend not to know it. That's okay. It doesn't mean you're a bad person. Not everyone has to be smart. The show wasn't meant for you. Carry on.

"Actually, I haven't."
I imagine it's only something people have been saying behind your back then. Good for you! Your acquaintances are polite.
Back to the point: CHAD DEITY is a terrific show that will have enormous appeal to people large-minded enough to appreciate it.

The "old" part of that was a reference to the previous poster who had mentioned that older audience members seemed to like the play less. Which was my observation as well. Because it's true.
As for "weak-minded," I can understand why you're sensitive about that one. Surely you've heard it before!

A brilliant show, beautifully written and staged with tremendous dynamism. But not for the old or weak-minded.

Benjamin Walker Choosing X-Men over Bloody on Broadway?

He won't be a bigger name until after the movie comes out, and even then he won't be a huge name. I doubt they will hold the transfer for him. Either they'll scuttle it or they'll cast someone else.
