Josh Grisetti made such a splash when he did Enter Laughing at the York. Here’s a glimpse.

Rare pic of Come and Be My Butterfly from Hello, Dolly! featuring Alexis Smith as Irene Molloy, Yvonne DeCarlo as Dolly Levi, and Dorothy Collins as Minnie Fay.

A friend posted this yesterday because now Halloween season starts in early July.

Born 95 years ago today. “Time heals everything but loving you.”

Patti LuPone’s ship was turned away from Egypt, too. Awaiting a statement…

What if Leontyne Price married Tyne Daly and became Leontyne Daly?

“Mitzi Gaynor is to Virgo what Virgo is to Mitzi Gaynor…”

The collective hate for Mitch McConnell is heartwarming.

My mental illness has taken me to a place of imagining Lady Thiang getting A Lil Ole Bitty Pissant Country [Palace] as an introductory song.

Young Brandon Uranowitz.

Rare pic of Andrew Lloyd Webber as Maria in The Sound of Music.

Next July 1st marks the 60th anniversary of the firing of Florence Ballard and the end of act one of Dreamgirls.

Today’s heat is proof that they would never open the second act dancing about how darn hot it is.

A perfect reminder of what Encores! looked like during its first season, thirty-plus years ago.

Then there was the time Jerry Herman became Ken Billington…

Happy Birthday to Dick Rodgers, seen here following the opening of Oklahoma!

No, I did not buy it.

A look at how big the musical changed from Detroit to Broadway to tour:

I’d be more than willing to lean forward and listen if they’d only take the f*cking microphones off everyone’s face.

I’m excited to see Michael Arden and Kristin Chenoweth reunited when she plays Lt. Cmdr. Joanne Galloway in A Few Good Men.

Jesus Christ Superstar at the London Palladium has on stage standing room which is sort of weird.

AI would be hysterical if it weren’t so sad and destructive.

What if Rose ended act one ripping up June’s note and singing Jean Valjean’s “Another story must begin!”

The campy, homoerotic princes have quite large penises.

“Hey, Big Spender!”

Pic from Encores! current production of Smile.

This is the worst possible revival of How Now, Dow Jones.

Imagining Maggie Smith playing hide-and-seek with her young son and, like Mrs. Lovett, singing “Toby! Where are you, love?”

This citywide celebration is nothing compared to what happened when Chita Rivera finally won her first Tony.

“Thorton”

I want a Magical Mystery Merrick Week where all the Dollys tap in during a performance.

Rare pic of Dustin Hoffman and Charles Durning in Ballroom.

Unrecognizable Plus, if your Dolly is billed below the title, you misunderstand the very essence of the Big Lady shows.

I deserve this.

I have seen the three full rehearsal numbers released of the Encores! La Cage. I wish them well.

Of course, Joe Turner’s come and gone. Did you expect him to spend the night?

Jessica Vosk singing Wind Beneath My Wings (sans children) had the potential to be one of the better numbers at the Tonys.

One of the things that made JUDY GARLAND as MAME so impressive was the immediate comparison to her performance as Martha (opposite James Mason) in the original cast of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

I love that the Tony Awards Red Carpet has begun while some nominees are still on stage at their shows.

I’ve never seen a Broadway or the Tony’s but I can’t wait to see Pink

Based on the “Rose” (and rows and rows and rows and rows and rows and rows), I’m fairly certain that’s Angela Lansbury as Beth in MGM’s Merrily We Roll Along.

If the Tonys cared about ratings, they’d do a 50th anniversary celebration of Pacific Overtures.

I miss the old days when the Tonys started at 9pm and were done by 11:20pm.

I can’t even see the microphones or the lace. 😭

Will the CBS boycott turn the Tonys from Celebrate Broadway to Celibate Broadway?

The good old days. ❤️

Long-winded artists take note: Cynthia Nixon, who has done a million plays, got through her My Life in the Theatre video in under thirty minutes. *The Plymouth is now the Schoenfeld. The Royale is now the Jacobs *Tony Walton did not win a Tony for The Real Thing *Rabbit Hole did not win Best Play

Celebrity Autobiography only had 7 shows last week and took a $66,934 dip from $111,087 to $44,153. Average ticket price: $21.33.
