“The producers of this show must think that we’re morons”

“After weeks of rumors and everything under the sun but a confirmation, the news was finally announced that Lea Michele will be taking over the role of Fanny Brice on Broadway.”

“BroadwayCon 2022 was the first year it was in-person since the pandemic, and you could tell everyone involved, from the attendees to the staff to the special guests, were so happy to see everyone’s smiling faces again.”

“There have been a lot of discussions in various spaces about the responsibility of the artist to the audience. But what about addressing the responsibility of the audience to the artist? With stories filling the news about audience members refusing to wear masks, abusing front of house staff, sneaking nude photos/videos of cast members in the middle of a performance and posting them online…it seems like we need to.”

ABC has announced its next live-action TV adaptation of a beloved Disney property. It has been confirmed that “Beauty & the Beast Live!” will air later this year.

“We all knew that this day would come at some point, but in my opinion, we are not nearly there yet.”

“Broadway can survive on the tourist-attracting shows. But the only way it evolves into something better and bolder is by having weird art grace its stages.”

“For the first time in two years, the Tonys came back in their familiar form of a big splashy awards show. There were highlights and surprises. I saw some things I loved and loathed. But more importantly, it felt like this year’s ceremony laid the groundwork for what will hopefully be a transformative time for Broadway theatre”

“Everything at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts is about maintaining a facade. But after decades of abuse, secrets, and lies, an expertly crafted facade is finally crumbling.”

“I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in seeing the arts treated the way we treat P.E., science, or math. I don’t even think we should be treating those subjects the way we treat them now.”

“The Tonys are supposed to celebrate theater, to share what we do with the world, and honor those who have created masterful work over the course of the year. But it’s become utterly, transparently obvious that that’s not what the Tonys or pretty much any awards show is about.

It’s about politics.”

“The Tonys need new elements to draw interest and ratings. One way to do that is to recognize the truly great performances by replacement cast members.”
