for me, the most meaningful win was Cole Escola for Oh, Mary! a madcap, ingenious, perfectly camp, stupid in the best kind of way performance that will go down in history. they are now the THIRD nonbinary actor to win a Tony, so it is time for nongendered acting categories!!!!!

I generally don’t like wearing mens formalwear anymore but wow I want this outfit so bad

with the Tonys done, it is time to officially kick off the 2025-2026 Broadway season.

studied this play in college, excited to finally get to see it performed

Jamie Lloyd’s Pippin

this is hands down the most chaotically delightful casting I have ever seen. Lucas Hnath TARTUFFE at NYTW staring Matthew Broderick, Bianca Del Rio, Amber Gray, Emily Davis, Lisa Kron, Francis Jue, and Ryan J. Haddad. playbill.com/article/matthe…

SCOTUS upheld a ban on trans care for minors and I’m devastated, so this news is a nice balm. cannot think of a better casting. as I wrote in my review, I think Oh, Mary! is a very compelling trans story so I’m thrilled to have a trans woman in the role. congrats Jinkx Monsoon is Mary Todd!

the Jimmy awards opening is truly a madcap medley for mashing up cell block tango with model of a modern major general

and that’s what pride is all about, charlie brown

great piece by Helen Shaw about the worrying trend of theaters programming seasons of mostly or entirely male playwrights.
