NEW VIDEO!! I'm looking at 5 EPIC Broadway flops that only have 30 performances between them! With topics from religious relics to bloody massacres to fatty livers, these musical misfires were just too wild to last.
This is my official manifestation tweet. I so badly want a one-off

Halloween special. 40 minutes. Full on Little Shop of Horrors/Rocky Horror/Carrie, etc.
I swear, if one single Broadway show or Marvel movie gets delayed because of you anti-vaxxers, SO HELP ME SONDHEIM I WILL FIND YOU AND YOU WILL RUE THE DAY.
RUE. THE. DAY!
Some of you out here dragging Diana The Musical like there isn't a mega-blockbuster musical with literal lyrics rhyming "frank analysis" with "personality dialysis."
Just a reminder, as lots of people, including myself, excitedly post about seeing Broadway shows again. Please remember, your worth or devotion as a fan of Theatre is not based on how many shows youβve seen.
I am so proud to be part of the team bringing this Pulitzer Prize-winning musical to Broadway. Trust me, u do not wanna miss this ! Previews for

The Iowa State Fair this year featured a scene from The Music Man made entirely of butter. I especially like the use of Slender Man in the band and Jimmy Durante as Harold Hill.
You're given a Broadway theater and you have to produce one of these seasons, in full, with an all-star cast of your choosing. Which season do you produce?
Shameless proud Dad brag. My 8yo is doing Seussical Jr. at the same place I did all my shows as a kid. She told me the day before her audition that she wanted to be JoJo. I reminded her that she's fairly new to performing and how great the ensemble is in the show, but...

So numb and in total shock. I lost my sister today. She was an angel. I hope she felt no pain. I hope she knows how much she was loved. And I hope sheβs free now. I love you Danielle. I miss you.
Can someone explain to me what they gain by dropping titles MADE FOR the streaming service?? It's not like they need to make room on their hard-drive. And it's CLEARLY not too many residuals (f*ck you AMPTP!) I don't get it!!!
A joke for maybe three people.
MT History Teacher: Marc Blitzstein wrote the musicals The Cradle Will Rock and Regina.
Student: What about J-
MT History Teacher: We don't talk about Juno, no no no.
Scene.
So youβre telling me she married a man who retired at age 30, set for life, and she got bored?? And weβre supposed to feel bad she didnβt go with the asshole who ditched his wife and kids in Portland, ON A WHIM?! Malarkey!
that if she really wanted the part, she should work hard and show that she can handle it. Give it your all and just have fun. She practiced all night. I cannot explain the shock and burst of pride when she told me she indeed got JoJo! I'm thrilled (and terrified), haha.
Lea Michele teases her next Broadway venture after βFunny Girlβ:
βI already know what it is. You know it. It's very different musically.β

And Iβm here.
Wow!! I was not familiar with the source material and had no idea the wild journey I was about to go on. Bizarre, captivating, shocking and often HILARIOUS! I was hooked! The performers were incredible and, of course, the score was haunting and beautiful. Go see it, if you can!!
Here's a random story for y'all on this Tuesday evening. Eight years ago today, I was walking to the subway in Times square from my merch job and I noticed a little crowd gathering and a couple of mobile cameramen. My wife and I had been watching all the past seasons of... π§΅
π¨ Nicole Scherzinger wonβt be performing on Tuesdays (from Oct 29th onwards). The role of Norma Desmond will be played by an understudy to be announced at a later date.
This morning we said goodbye to my boy Charlie. I adopted him when he was six months old and he was just shy of his 18th birthday. I love and miss you buddy. Rest well.
