1. Rent is the most over-rated Broadway production of the past 30 years.
2. I hated, hated, hated, hated Hand to God. I don't understand the appeal beyond the one-note humor of sex with puppets. That people liked it and that they laughed at some of the darkest moments, makes me question all of humanity.
3. That Broadway is still so dominated by a gay, white, male sensibility in 2015 is a sad commentary on how, for all its claims to the contrary, Broadway still lacks diversity.
4. The Book of Mormon was not very good and I hated the stereotypical portrayal of Africans and the humor that seemed aimed at 14-year-old boys. The last line (a recurring line throughout the show) is the best example of that.
5. Christian Borle is the most talented male actor in Broadway musicals today.
6. I hate Lea Michelle. She's a good singer but a mediocre actress. And I'm not saying this because I am jealous of her. Please.
7. I hate it when kid actors have Twitter feeds that are written in the first person but that are obviously completely composed and posted by their mother. I'm looking at you Sydney Lucas.
8. All the we're-so-special Broadway benefits are more self-serving than helpful. I'm talking about Broadway Barks, Broadway Sleep Out, Broadway Gives Back, etc. etc.
9. People should stop giving standing ovations at every performance of every show.
10. Broadway should prohibit people consuming food and drink in the seats.
11. People who show up at the theater dressed like they are heading out to wash the car look terrible. I'll defend their right to wear tank tops, cargo shorts and flip flops, but they look like crap.
12. I loved, loved, loved Fun Home, but Ring of Keys was my least favorite part.
