haven’t had any internet for the past ~15 hours and that was not the senator obituary I expected to see?!

it is currently 9 am and so goddamn sunny here music.apple.com/us/album/ah-...

Idina with Philly Pops cut short because of bad weather! But thrilling to hear Life of The Party in the year 2026

the vibe this weekend

*Bob Gunton in Evita voice* PARAGUAYYY

tens tens tens across the board (it’s grown so much since PAC and I want to see it every day)

the obvious material girl homage and yet an absolute 10/10 music.apple.com/us/album/exp...

I will eventually see the teddy bear musical out of FOMO, but badly ripping off the Berthe number from Pippin does not a good score make.

@thebenkaye.bsky.social beat me to it!

I have decided to care about soccer (they’re playing a game 3 miles from me and the air is contagious)

tried meditation with a bottle of wine! music.apple.com/us/album/wha...

god bless the man playing klezmer on the accordion in rittenhouse square today

must be fun to care about soccer. i do not!

for something that just won a bunch of tonys, it should be extending till the holidays. oh well

“gitchee gitchee betsy aidem, squibby squibby squibby june“

rooting for the jellicles, the salesman, and alden ehrenreich.

I doubt it’s true, but if it is — getting married at MSG is deeply gauche

all my baseball knowledge is from Damn Yankees

the tonys are in four days. have not been unenthused about a ceremony like this in forever. all those musicals are kinda bad!

meredith wilson i am so sorry youtu.be/tpwCZokDwmE?...

also music.apple.com/us/album/jun...

spreading Passion revival rumors on the first day of Pride is just foul

kelli o’hara’s pratfall with the telephone cord deserves a tony

fun to open your email to confirm a library of congress research appointment and find out your apartment building was on fire (my floor is fine!)

went grocery shopping in the rain

Elsbeth’s great american songbook-themed finale has a Knickerbocker Holiday reference and an emmy-worthy Patti LuPone. No show has appealed to me more!

they should let richard thomas threaten the audience with a baluster at this year’s tonys

RIP NYMag you were great when you lasted

firmly a fall/winter person

sheep detectives has no business being as good as it is!

renarkable and a must-see. Thank GOD for Joe Mantello

well, a person has developed a bad, bad cold! (which has to go away before saturday so I don’t miss salesman)

david schwimmer “juice” except it’s the seventy-something times Bryce Pinkham says COLD WAR in Chess

Tempress Chasity Moore is extraordinary in Jellicle Ball though

so the tonys did not like Chess (the correct opinion)

Tony noms day! And I woke up with a fever!

THE performance of the season (and i’ve seen a good chunk of the season!)

This is an absolutely fascinating profile, and a must read

Alden Ehrenreich gives possibly my favorite performance of the season?

spring glut is in full swing but this is an immense piece of theater criticism www.vulture.com/article/thea...

I mean sure

look if P!nk is better than Ariana DeBose that‘s a win for me

Vulture’s Jellicle Ball review distilling the proscenium as a shrine for diva worship:

the score comes across better in the album than it did in the theater, but Schwartz doing bad pastiche of Riders in The Sky with a Bush reference is a microcosm of everything wrong with this show

Octet is a bad choice for a cinematic adaptation send post

enough time has passed so I’m ready to ask: is MacArthur Park the name of the cake? or is the cake melting in MacArthur Park?

dizzy and overwhelming, but a goddamn piece of musical theatre. sensational cast. we are in dire need of a LaChiusassance

to the woman carrying an open (!) coffee mug on the BSL today, I adore your whimsy but I also hope you’ve got good insurance!

Conan 2/2. Just terrific at this.
