In the big storm last week the all-time record for most rain ever recorded in a single hour was set in Central Park: 1.94" In the past hour tonight 3.10" of rain fell in Central Park.

Every single subway line in NYC is now shutdown due to the storm. The entire system. We are BEYOND not ready for climate change.

Caroline, or Change is Jeanine Tesori’s masterpiece. It’s in the ranks of shows like Sunday in the Park with George and Ragtime. I’ve never heard a score tell a story better than this one, wowowowow. (Also, Sharon D Clarke’s performance is not to be missed)

This is horrifically worth it 😂

Every Congress person gets 12 weeks paid parental leave as a term of their employment. We, the taxpayers, pay for their family leave, but they won’t vote to let us pay for ours.

Sometimes people leave you halfway through the wood. Do not let it grieve you, no one leaves for good.

For so many of us, no figure loomed larger in the American musical theatre than Stephen Sondheim. From all of us at Roundabout, we were honored to have the joy of putting your name permanently in lights on a Broadway marquee. You will be so terribly missed.

Just fyi if all of us were getting tested as often as Broadway casts we'd be getting a lot of asymptomatic positives too. Please stop blaming actors for testing positive for a widespread and very contagious virus that anyone not locked in a vault right now will eventually catch.

Lines for covid testing at CityMD are again running around the block. It's outrageous that two years in it's still so tough to get a test in NYC. In the meantime, don't forget about the excellent City-run sites, where the wait is usually much shorter. Updated locations & hours:

THREAD: As #Omicron surges and our systems strain, I wanted to share my #COVID19 experience in NYC last month. It was actually a hopeful window into what a society where we look out for one another and a government that is set up to truly care for us could look like.

I am absolutely floored at how Peyton Manning killed in this bit. One of the best segments on SNL in years.

THREAD: I've worked in Hollywood for 20 years, and also helped them cast "Japanese" actors for the past few years. I watched up-close how racist they are when it comes to casting Japanese characters, and I cannot stay quiet anymore. 1/
