You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

From Tommy Tune! Dream come true.

I’ve been thinking about all those Musicals-That-Never-Happened and those I still want to see… 1. Kicks (Menken/Eyen) 2. Eleanor (Coleman/Fields) 3. Buzz!! (Menken/Zippel) 4. One Of The Girls (Herman) 5. Houdini (Schwartz) What’re yours? Do you know anything about my choices? Let’s discuss!!

Singing the Golden Girls theme in your office hits so good.

¡Viva Jane Fonda!

Last night I saw my current and possibly future favorite Broadway show. Needed joy and got it! Thanks, #Schmigadoon!

Do the laws not apply to the rich and wealthy? Kleptocracy? Quid pro quo. Bribery. You name it. All of this is wrong and illegal. Shameful.

OK, let's do it. Name your top 15 stage musicals ever, gut instincts only. Gypsy Follies Mack & Mabel Kiss Me, Kate Xanadu La Cage Aux Folles Dreamgirls Groundhog Day Wicked Dear World Chicago Rags City of Angels Scrooge Guys & Dolls

Saturday was the one-year anniversary of Virginia Guiffre’s death. The Epstein survivors aren’t done fighting, but it takes public support to fuel their work. Don’t let the effort to distract work on you. Read & share: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection. So forgive me if I smell a rat.

I'm brave enough to admit that I would, in fact, buy this the day it goes on sale or see it opening night. Yes, I would.

Tortoise Media has celebrated the one year takeover of the Observer by axing two photographers. They’d been with the paper for more than half a century. No notice, no warning, no pay off.

I can’t be objective, as Cinco Paul is a childhood friend, but now that critics have weighed in I feel I can join the chorus of praise for SCHMIGADOON, an embarrassment of riches full of wit, heart, craft, and joy. Indeed, aside from the new CATS, it’s the most joyful night to be found on Broadway.

As I think Mel Brooks once said: Tragedy is when I have a minor sniffle, comedy is when you contract leprosy and all your limbs fall off. 🤧

If any followers pick this up, I want to hear your picks too! The more the merrier!!

Gypsy.

What I love most about Schmigadoon is that it shows how parody can achieve emotional resonance. It's a clever, hilarious, metatheatrical parody, AND a sincere, deeply affecting example of the thing that's being parodied! Brilliant work by @cincopaul.bsky.social, delivered by a knockout cast.

historic rejection of JD Vance

Single best capture of this moment, and it's in The Onion. Duly noted.

Yip Harburg and Fred Ebb sharing a birthday should be at least as big a deal as Sondheim and Lloyd Webber sharing theirs.

NEW: Two women just joined the lawsuit seeking to overturn Arkansas' abortion ban. One had an ectopic pregnancy and was sent away by three emergency rooms in two states and another—refreshingly—didn't want to be pregnant. Both forced to go to Kansas. First case since Dobbs showing broad harm of bans

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

Like so many silent films, A Trip to the Moon has a wild story. The hand-painted color version of the film was thought to be lost for more than 90 years. A deteriorating print was discovered in 1993, setting off a restoration project that took nearly two decades to complete.

"This time, performers long kept at the margins can step into the spotlight, not as ornament, but as a force reshaping the stage itself." Betty Buckley writes thoughtfully about Cats: The Jellicle Ball:

The final trailer for 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' has been released. In theaters May 1st. [📽 via 20th Century Studios] #TheDevilWearsPrada2

And the genius of Bennett? He had all the men facing away from the audience so the focus was solely on Smith for this number.

The Legacy Collection has delivered some top notch releases of classic Disney soundtracks, and Mary Poppins was no exception. Now if only they’d release just a couple more… (*whispers in Hercules*) #TCMParty

Share your holy trinity of cast albums. But ask me again in an hour…

How I arrived on Bluesky

"Police chief Brian O’Hara later said during a press conference on Saturday that Pretti’s only known previous interaction with law enforcement was for traffic tickets." I don't know how the USA comes back from this.

ICE agents killed a man and are disappearing the witnesses.

This person, my son, earned a Pulitzer Prize. If he gave it to me, it would still be his. I am a rational person who fully realizes that i did not earn a Pulitzer Prize. ( of course i wouldn’t accept it)

‘Heated Rivalry’ has enjoyed extraordinary success in Russia, despite the fact that it is not officially available on any Russian streaming platform—perhaps because its closeted hero feels surprisingly true to life.

Pals, if you’re still out there…what’re your top 5 Cole Porter tunes? 1. Always True To You In My Fashion 2. Stereophonic Sound 3. I Jupiter, I Rex 4. Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye 5. Anything Goes

At her final performance in Coco on Broadway, Katharine Hepburn (and co) got a 47-second ovation at the end of "The Money Rings Out Like Freedom," itself the culmination of a 14-minute musical scene in which she relays the history of Chanel to a protege.

We aren't boycotting the arts; we are refusing to entertain fascists and white nationalists. Cry harder about it while you listen to Kid Rock and try so hard to pretend it isn't basic, boring, uninspired tripe.

your occasional reminder that, in Singin' in the Rain, when Debbie Reynolds provides Jean Hagen's speaking voice, the speaking voice you hear is Jean Hagen's, and when Debbie Reynolds provides Jean Hagen's singing voice, the singing voice you hear is Betty Noyes's

Had another complaint. Someone emailed us saying that this billboard upset them because they themselves didn’t like dogs. We emailed back “well you know what to do then” 😂

This is what they took from you, she said ironically, but in that way where you still sort of mean it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6li...
