“Justin Timberlake is a bizarre choice to replace Jackman, and not really for the reasons one might think.”

There’s been a hushed question whispered through audition halls and between performer friends at coffee shops growing ever more frequent especially in the last five to ten years…

“What exactly do they mean when they say they want a ‘Contemporary Musical Theater Song?’”

“It was announced this week that standing room tickets for Broadway’s ‘The Music Man’ will be made available at the staggering price of $76. While the price is considerably lower than a regular seated ticket at the Hugh Jackman-led revival, it’s well above what is usually charged for those types of tickets and spits in the face of those hoping Broadway will become more accessible.”

“I’ve heard people express opinions along the lines of “hey if you agree to appear nude in a show you don’t get to complain about people taking pictures/filming you. You agreed to it, now suck it up. You don’t get to complain.”

As a performer, I wildly disagree.”

“I’m not here to question whether we should have ever had nudity in theatre in the 18th, 19th, or 20th centuries; the question is should we have it in theatre in the world we live in 2022, going forward.”

“With ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’s closing, one could only hope that this would be the end of producers bringing this tired and problematic trope to Broadway. But, because they just can’t seem to let it go, an adaptation of ‘Some Like It Hot’ will be starting performances in New York this coming fall.”

“Appearing nude on stage isn’t an easy process for everyone. It takes courage, focus, and trust in everyone in the building. It’s unfortunate that the staff in the building let Jesse Williams down. It cannot happen again.”

“With the Tony Awards nominations being announced this week, so begins the season of predicting who will be taking home the coveted awards on June 12th. Here are my picks of who I think will win and should win.”

“Storytelling is not something that should be relegated to “people who want to have fun in the arts.” It’s a vital part of how we learn EVERYTHING as human beings.”

“A woman and her husband were kicked off a JetBlue flight after hurling numerous homophobic and racial slurs at fellow passengers. The woman was later identified as Broadway dancer and choreographer, Maddie Kelly.”

“Casting roles shouldn’t be an assembly line – it should be a celebration of how a role becomes special and uniquely moving as told by any individual actor. And I think it’s a way for actors to liberate themselves and take some control in a system that often tries to fit us into a cookie cutter mold.”

“We are losing artists, we are losing stories, we are losing cultures that are becoming scattered to the winds. We need to protect eastern Europe, we need to protect Ukrainians, artists included, who have a unique power to inspire and shape us for the better.”
