Thanks to Jewniverse (and my buddy Zachary Solomon) for answering the eternal question, “What ever happened to Rick Moranis?”

I’m as surprised as you are, but Matthew Morrison’s new album is really good. This bodes well for bringing him back to Broadway after Glee is over (maybe as the lead in Top Hat?)…

I love that EW is now doing these regularly, but I wish they’d come up with a more listener-friendly format.

The productions that I’ve seen have been really wonderful. The farther away they get from us, the better. I’ve loved them. There was a college production where the narrator was a Greek chorus. There was no fat guy standing there singing; there was a bunch of kids there singing. I couldn’t stop thinking about how brilliant that was. There should be an all-female version. I would just hope that people would get a clue from the kinda show it is that they’re encouraged to reinvent. To “cover” it in an interesting way. To me, it’s like an album, and then you do covers. I’m fine for the covers to be freaky and weird.

More exciting than Tony Award nominations? The Dogfight cast recording is now available digitally.

For my entire life I thought the opening line of “The Way We Were” was “Memories — like the corners of my mind…”

Last night in Buyer & Cellar, Michael Urie quoted the lyric as “Memories light the corners of my mind.”

Have I been wrong this entire time?

Google shows I’m not alone. 25.2 million results for Urie’s way vs 21.7 million results for mine.

If there’s a moral to this story, it’s that Barbra should probably work on her diction.

This album is amazing on about a hundred different levels.

One of my favorite innovations of the YouTube era is the proliferation of old-timey covers of current hit pop songs. (Although none will ever surpass “Rehab (Original 1934 Noel Coward Version),” which sadly seems to have disappeared from the internet.)
