I need to see Cats Jellicle Ball a few more times. My wallet disagrees.

What happened to the third assassination story?

In the old days, an actor’s path was: Broadway>TV>Film. Now it’s: Film>TV>Broadway.

Hahahah. A friend saw a show I’m involved with and thought the lead actor’s accent was good, but not consistent. Friend, that’s their *actual* accent.

Gross that the president posted simian-related imagery about a former president when the current president is the President of the Rapes.
