‘Kinky Boots’ original cast recording — EXCLUSIVE... →
Everybody say yeah! Get ready to dig your heels into a 15-track exclusive first listen of the original cast recording of Kinky Boots, the high-energy…
I love that EW is now doing these regularly, but I wish they’d come up with a more listener-friendly format.

In looking back at the past, we need to remove the rose-colored glasses.
On Shavuot, I was in a session where the participants were asked to name the place and time in Jewish history they would most like to live. I said “here and now,” because it’s clearly the moment of prime opportunity (so far) for me and others with any kind of minority status (including, you know, all...

Facebook Might Ruin Yahoo's Attempt To Become Cool... →
Tumblr is basically a Twitter for images (or, if you prefer, a dead-simple “blogging platform” that allows you to follow other users)—a digital “platform” that allows users to post and share content. […] Tumblr has had trouble generating really significant revenue, in part because of the company’s attitude toward advertising. […] one key question...

Catey Sullivan: What do you hope the audience in general takes away from the musical?
Mary Zimmerman: That’s a capitalist question. I feel like it’s enough for shows to be experiences. There is no object that you take. I hope what audiences have at the end is a sense of the incredible wonderment of being a child. Children have one foot in reality and one foot somewhere else.

Sure the book is slight to say the least, but boy did I have a great time. The title number was one of the most fun I’ve seen in a long time, and the cast was great. And that score. Delightful.
My one complaint was Shonn Wiley. While perfectly serviceable, he just lacked anything particularly compelling.
Christine Baranski is a gem though. Really great.
This is...

The Original Mother's Day - A Call For Peace
jenkirkman:
Just as freely as people say “Merry Christmas” to everyone in the month of December - people wish everyone a “Happy Mother’s Day”. I’m not a mother in the traditional sense but in what the ORIGINAL “Mother’s Day Proclamation” was - I am a mother, woman, pacifist, feminist.
Julia Ward Howe’s “Appeal to womanhood throughout the world” (later known as “Mother’s Day Proclamation” was...

It’s worth noting that three months into my life as a New Yorker, I have absolutely enjoyed off-Broadway significantly more than Broadway, plays more than musicals, and shows with lower budgets and cheap-o production values over those with spangles and follow-spots.
What’s happening to me?

I used to walk past that poster every day. Didn’t the (former) lead actor fall off a scaffolding and get replaced by the director? Something like that?
I’m not sure how he got injured, but he was replaced by the writer.

Neil Patrick Harris Confirmed to Host 67th Annual... →
beyond-the-hills-of-tomorrow:
CBS has confirmed that Emmy Award-winning actor Neil Patrick Harris will return to host the 67th Annual Tony Awards on June 9 at Radio City Music Hall.
Again? Really? Now, I like Neil Patrick Harris as much as the next guy, but is he just the permanent host of the Tony Awards now? Is it that difficult to get anybody else?
4 times out of 67 is hardly permanent.

I wrote the first fifteen minutes of a play tonight, which is actually the skeleton for the entire first act (of three). And I kind of like it, although it needs to get fleshed out. (With songs? I don’t know. Maybe not.)
I can’t remember the last time I actually sat down for a couple of hours of uninterrupted creative writing. It feels good.
