Sending love and best wishes to Dick Van Dyke because tomorrow he’ll be 100 years old! 🥳

I feel like I’m going to be the first disappointing casting for Oh, Mary!

“It’s over now, the music of the night.”

Imagine young Ann Miller as A Star To Be, ripping off her skirt and belting NYC.

With David Corenswet as Billy Bigelow, imagine Jonathan Bailey as Jule Jordan.

If the RSC needs to close the gap "between the costs of running the organisation and its current ability to generate revenue,” shouldn’t they start with having only one artistic director?

What if Nunsense were Nunnsense? An order of nuns putting on a Trevor Nunn revue to raise money.

I’m glad the Arthur Miller estate is allowing the upcoming production of Death of a Salesmen to explore earlier drafts of the text because Arthur Miller only lived 56 years after the opening of the original production so didn’t get an opportunity to explore all his options.

The Winter Garden is large, but commercial questions aside, Joe Mantello is the best play director working today so wait and see.

On World AIDS Day, if Michael Bennett had lived to complete his work on Chess, we wouldn’t have to “fix” the book with an RFK Jr. joke.

I was probably the only kid on my college campus who had Tom Stoppard’s The Real Thing in his Walkman.

People are combining the public domain Peter Pan and the public domain Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, but when will the public domain Show Boat pick them up?

What did you get on Record Store Day? I got Goddard Lieberson’s two-record set of Follies. Also, the three record set of the Original Broadway Cast of Dreamgirls recorded live and complete.

The front row is a great place to sit if you want to see all of Patti LuPone in Working.

It’s a Christmas song.

I wish Florence Henderson were still around to do a Wicked/Wesson tie-in because everyone deserves the chance to fry.

I spend a lot of time thinking about 98-year-old Bernadette Peters playing Marie in a 2046 revival of Sunday in the Park with George.

Boston has the best Mayor.

Side Show would work if you cast the Jonas Brothers as conjoined triplets Daisy, Violet, and Nick.

Who could ever have imagined that a replacement Electra from 1960 would be headlining on Broadway in 2025? Welcome home, June Squibb!

Maybe the way to fix Chess is to have Elaine Paige direct it with Jonathan Groff as Florenz.

Next, Danny Strong will fix the book of Gypsy.

It’s that point in the day when I’m wondering what if Anna Antonelli had sold The Rink to Sonny Malone and Danny McGuire who then converted it into Xanadu?

To break it down for my audience: Bloomberg spent $9.5M trying to elect Cuomo. The original production of Carrie cost $8M Someone should write a book about flop political campaigns called Not Since Cuomo.

Bat Boy could have saved Floyd Collins.

I forgot Dick Cheney was even alive.

You can’t “steal the show” if you’re playing Bat Boy in Bat Boy. It’s your show and could only be stolen from you.

This is me dressed as Angela Lansbury in Mame. Happy Halloween!

Tim Rice’s thoughts on Chess, 1993

Besides being a swell actress, the late June Lockhart took a stand for gay rights way back in 1970. ❤️

Tim Curry was nominated for Tony Awards in 1981, 1993, and 2005. None of his nominations were for Me and My Girl, a role originated by 1987 Tony-winner Robert Lindsay.

Lea Michele now bows in white so don’t try and tell me that no one uses previews to make good changes.

I don’t want to hear about any ballroom that doesn’t include Dorothy Loudon being crowned queen.

If Bob Fosse had directed A Chorus Line, Cassie wouldn’t have gotten the job.

“Take care of this house Keep it from harm If bandits break in Sound the alarm…”

I love my library.

If Chess can be “fixed” with a narrator, could Moose Murders?

What if we wait twenty years, and Richard Linklater cuts all the Merrily songs that aren’t diegetic.

Repeat after me. Adding a narrator who explains things (and, god help us, makes jokes referencing current political events) is not “fixing the book.”

Some of my younger friends might not know that this exists.

Christian Borle and Andrew Rannells in Chess.

I keep on seeing people post about Ragtime’s What a Game! being a throwaway comedy number, but it’s not. Does no one listen anymore?

Live life so you’re cherished like Diane Keaton.

I’m disappointed The Frogs aren’t blasting Sondheim’s title song on repeat.

THIS is how you dim the lights.

Forty-two years ago tonight, Michael Bennett and 332 dancers made history as A Chorus Line became the longest-running show in Broadway history.

He’s 84, but I wouldn’t be against Sam Waterston repeating his Lincoln in Oh, Mary!

Thinking of 1865 when Kash Patel reported that John Wilkes Booth wrote on the bullet: "Damn you, Lincoln And damn the day You threw the "U" out Of U.S.A!"
