Thanks MezzA101 for once again sharing an unlocked NYT article.

It is a long weekend here in Canada, to honor Queen Victoria.  Last night I headed to the tubs since it's always crazy on a long weekend Sunday night. (It was.)  After I parked & was walking over, right across the street I came across a big pile of yesterday's Sunday Times - the West Coast edition that gets shipped up from Seattle.  I'm guessing some crack head lifted them from somewhere before they realized that they were generally worthless to them & just dropped them on the sidewalk.  (There is no where in that neighborhood that sells the Times.) With tariffs now this goes for almost $15CAN, so I wasn't above taking a copy.

It was most interesting to see what shows had full page ads.  Boop must be hemorrhaging money, yet they had one.  Other full page ads for Gypsy, Just In Time, & Purpose. Roundabout was reminding Tony voters of closed shows like Yellow Face.

I was surprised to find nothing for MHE, though there is a nice feature article with multiple photos of Darren Criss.  Also big gorgeous shot of Ms Scherzinger on the cover of the arts section. But no need to run any ads for Sunset.
