Loving this new series on Netflix. Tituss Burgess is hilarious, and I'm loving all the Broadway cameos.

Jane Krakowski
Jefferson Mays
James Monroe Iglehart

For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

And the recurring "Lion King" and "Spider Man" references get me EVERY time.

John Cullum was in that hilarious "Daddy's Boy" musical parody that was on being shown on TCM. Tina Fey and Jon Hamm were also delightful in their roles. I legit didn't expect to see Tina even though she cocreated the show.

Nic Rouleau was also in the "Daddy's Boy" bit.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Every time I see Titus' character all I can think about is his role as Nina's music teacher in The Battery's Down!

Just watched the entire show today, it's hilarious and brilliant. The Broadway cameos are fantastic, John McMartin's in it too. My favorite was probably Christine Ebersole, when is she doing another Broadway show?

One reason I hate Netflixs is I watch it all in 24 hours then I have to wait a year. Oof. Titus is cracking my shiz. I hope he gets recognized in some Emmy nom or something.

Carol Kane steals it for me.

I'd love to see Ellie Kemper make her Broadway debut. She is so charming.

If "The Nightmare Before Christmas" ever becomes a Broadway musical, I would love to see Kemper play Sally.

Oh my god, I just watched the first episode. AMAZING. Tituss singing the "No no no noooo way!" from Dreamgirls was the best thing possible. I wonder how many people knew what that was. So funny!

I like how in the fake credits for the 1938 musical disaster "Daddy's Boy", they actually list Jefferson Mays in the fake credits. Binged all 13 episodes back to back. It was as hilarious as it was weird, and boy was it weird.

Watched the first episode this morning and LOVED it. Tituss cracks me up, his character is great.

I'm gonna watch the rest when I get home tonight, I'm really looking forward to it!

If you watch the end of episode 12, when they are showing how popular Titus's video had become, on the side bar with the recommendations, one of them says, "Daddy's Boy, Original Ending NSFW".
