I am a civilized and considerate theatergoer, and therefore only ever eat a small cellophane-wrapped hard candy during a theatrical performance. I keep them at the very bottom of my zippered purse, and unzip/dig/rezip only when I need one, which is every 20 minutes (oddly, only during theatrical performances). I unwrap each candy as slowly as possible – usually taking a full 5 to 10 minutes each – so as not to disturb anyone (thank goodness the actors are unable to hear me, or I'd really worr...

The Distinctive Baritone said: "I didn't know there were so many straight male ballet dancers!"Lot666: I have to admit that I had the same reaction when reading this story. And I'm gay.... because nothing says "straight" quite like a bunch of guys wanting to watch videos of each other having sex

The only recent show I can think of that this might have applied to is AFTER MIDNIGHT

Three Tall Women was part of a past ruling. Only Glenda is Leading.Thanks LesWickedly! :)

No mention of THREE TALL WOMEN. Does this mean that Jackson, Metcalf, and Pill (all above-title) are all in the Best Actress category? (Or did I miss something?)

A remarkable play given a once-in-a-lifetime production. No praise high enough for what Joe Mantello has orchestrated and achieved. Kudos and gratitude to everyone involved.

Row M mezzanine. Have to say, first time I've been extremely disappointed with TDF ticket placement. Especially after reading now what everyone else has received Harrumph.I'll try to focus instead on the many times I've received jaw-droppingly amazing seats from them. But then again I didn't spend 8 hours in those

Joanna Lumley in La Bête. Unforgettable.

Regarding the $69 "Partial View" row of seats in the Barrow Street Theater mezzanine, be forewarned that they should more accurately be called "No View" seats, or even more accurately "Standing Room," as all 16 of us in this row needed to stand for the entire show in order to actually SEE the show. Oddly enough, this is then an excellent view (of an excellent production), save for missing action at the top of the staircase. (In short: "Partial View" if standing, "No View" if sitting.) Pic is ...

From a recent Michael Musto column:In the throng of press [for Sunset Blvd] was NY1’s Frank DiLella, so I asked him if the new format of their theater show, OnStage, will stick. (They had shot two episodes at Chez Josephine, where Broadway stars popped up and the hosts feigned surprise.) “No,” he said. “The show we did from London—throwing to news packages from an actual theater—is how it’s going to be. And the venue will change. We’re doing one at BroadwayCon. [That would have aired by press...

We all know which statement is the real Jennifer Holliday. (Hint: It's not the one whose author misspelled Holliday.)[EDIT: Spelling now corrected on the Wrap website. PR applications now being accepted.]

"I sincerely apologize for my lapse of judgement, for being uneducated on the issues that affect every American at this crucial time in history and for causing such dismay and heartbreak to my fans.Please know that I HEAR YOU and I feel your pain. The LGBT Community was mostly responsible for birthing my career and I am deeply indebted to you… You have loved me faithfully and unconditionally and for so many years you provided me with work even though my star had long since faded.Thank you for...

"I was like, nobody knows that I'm alive and then I decide to sing a song and I wake up and they all hate me," the Hillary Clinton supporter explained to BILLBOARD today. "I haven't even endorsed anything. I'm not singing for Donald Trump; I'm singing to welcome the people of America. He cannot be the only face that's gonna represent us. And just to have all white people up there singing is not going to be a fair representation either. So you're just saying don't go? Really? I'm just very dis...
