YouTube video by W42ST Murdoch: The Final Interview

Totally loved "Murdoch: The Final Interview."

Such an important, educational, and entertaining show that reveals how America became a Petri dish for Murdoch’s destructive vision of media and the world.

A Broadway for Bros quote, from our review, made this video.

What is art?

And what is "Art"?

One is a diverse range of cultural activities.

The other is a compelling Broadway show featuring famous people who are actually #Broadway nerds.

Should you see "Art"?

Yes.

Here's why: broadwayforbros.com/art-broadway...

Yasmina Reza's show Art comes to Broadway starring #NeilPatrickHarris, #BobbyCannavale, and #JamesCorden.

How was it? Who stole the show? Is it worth seeing?

Sad to hear that #Cabaret is closing September 21.

Wishing a speedy recovery to #BillyPorter as he fights sepsis. You got this!

To honor the Kit Kat Club, here is my sticker that has been on the back of my iPhone since seeing the show with #AdamLambert as Emcee.

Great revival. Great memories.

And talked over what I had to say.

And trust the process to be okay.
