I got inside a Rolls-Royce with Jeanna de Waal and PARODY King Charles after the opening night of Diana, The Musical to discuss their show. Inside, Jeanna defended the musical against its reviews. #Broadway #DianaTheMusical variety.com/2021/scene/new…

It was very clear last night at the #WestSideStory premiere, as #RitaMoreno told everybody where to stand in the cast photo, who the real boss is.

I love this film so much. Here's proof you can remake a classic brilliantly without interjecting pointless modernist revisions, but making smart, meaningful changes that evolve characters & story we love. Here's what I wrote last night. #WestSideStory variety.com/2021/film/news…

"Clyde's" might be one of the best plays I've seen on #Broadway in a long time. Not just cause Uzo Aduba is the GOAT, but because Brooklyn wright does it again—pairing perfect character work, surrealist structure & striking commentary. Here's what I wrote. variety.com/2021/scene/new…

“Your vagina doesn’t die on your 50th birthday.” Say what you will about #AndJustLikeThat , but the show’s new writing team, including rachna fruchbom, @keligoff and Sam Irby, are a hilarious & necessary force in the room. Read what I wrote in Variety: variety.com/2021/scene/new…

“Who would run into the hurricane? Those who need it most. And across the scope of American life, it’s always been African Americans who have stood up to do it," Ruben Santiago-Hudson told me about Black artists this season on Broadway & this incredible show. variety.com/2022/theater/n…

Appreciate the feature in the Briefing this morning. More important, don’t miss their support of Ayanna P. and what she’s gone through after her thoughtful review of MJ.

“If you take this play to many places in the United States, it would be shocking,” Scott Ellis told me last night about Second Stage Theater’s “Take Me Out.” “This play is, still, a radical act.” Congrats to Jesse Tyler Ferguson (he/him/his) & cast on a triumph. #broadway variety.com/2022/scene/new…
