With Clay Aiken in Spamalot, all of Broadway is singing a collective "There! Right! There!" -Me-

I would think it's Riedel, but it's fox and Murdoch owns the Post, so it doesn't make sense that they would trash their own people.
But then again ITS FOX, and I wouldn't put anything past them!

Posted: 5/1/08 at 3:16pmI don't think there's many rules in the Murdoch view of journalism.

Of course it is.
p.s. That's why the paragraph is headed Broadway Riddle.

Well one of the best ways to get the dirt from actors and other theatre "insiders" is to get drunk with them...
I have seen Reidel many times at Angus and he never appears drunk.

Posted: 5/2/08 at 11:27amSmelling alcohol on somone's breath is not an indicator that they are drunk. It means they had a drink. It doesn't take much. It's not much of a blind item other than saying someone has a drink before they attend a show. And since Riedel is not a critic, it only points out that he does what many theatregoers do. True or not, it's certainly an item worthy of Riedel in tone and intent.
