Donald Trump Takes Over the Kennedy Center

Ugh, he’d probably rename it to the Trump Center, just cuz. 

This must be why Deborah Rutter (president of the KenCen) announced her resignation right after the inauguration.

I wonder if Jeffrey Finn (head of musical theatre programming) will follow suit?

STAND BEHIND ME LEGALLY BLONDE!! 

Well I imagine this means they’ll be scheduling a production of Evita (his favorite musical) and we might finally see that musical adaptation of The Apprentice the Weisslers announced a long time ago. 

As a closeted gay kid growing up in the Midwest, the Kennedy Center Honors was a yearly glimpse at Broadway royalty; long before YouTube came along. Every year, I would record the sections featuring Broadway, and would play them over and over. The Kander and Ebb tribute remains my favorite amongst them all.  
 

As with everything Trump has “accomplished” in his presidency, nothing is about making lives better for the people who voted for that. It’s only about giving misery to the people who didn’t vote for him.
 

BUT this is great news for Nicole Scherzinger, if she misses out on the Tony Award; as I’m sure she will be an honorary in this year‘s telecast. Hopefully she doesn’t mind sitting between to Kid Rock and John Voight.

So that season of La Cage, Bent, ReNt, Kinky Boots, The Prom and Hedwig is cancelled? 

Trump will sell the Kennedy Center - he will have to because I doubt there are enough MAGA to fill the place for shows and events that meet his standard.

 

Also, isn't he supposed to busy running the country and cheating at golf so where does he have the time to be the artistic director?

Yes, she can star in Dreamgirls with Chad Kimball and Zachary Levi!
