Good God.

He’s giving Millard Fillmore a run for his money.

You said it, Nell.

I’m Ron Fassler and I approve this message.

“Moonstruck,” “It’s a Wonderful Life,” and “The Music Man.”

This was fierce.

I’ve been trying to find evidence stared in this obit that Eileen Fulton really did do “Virginia Wolf” by day and “The Fantasticks” by night and I’m not finding it. I have a feeling a publicist dreamed this up. Factually, she did “Fantasticks” prior to being hired for “VW.”

Perfect.

I’m waiting to sell as many books as I can before offering at a discounted rate as a e-book. ☺️ have faith… it will be coming.

My book “The Show Goes On: Broadway Hirings, Firings and Replacements” is right up your alley, Jan. It deserves a place on your theatre bookshelf.

Signing freshly delivered copies of “The Show Goes On” at Drama Book Store today. Happy to report they keep selling out. ☺️

Useless.

What a disappointment this guy turned out to be. Totally unfit for the office (although he kept Oz out, even more unfit, if possible).

I’m this close to canceling my subscription.

Although he’s only one of its producers, this feels like such a Clooney move. Smart, judicious, and a means to get the play’s message to a massive audience at an important time in our country’s history.

Nothing worse than this one. Can you imagine what he REALLY said about this abomination after the party?

Swoosie Kurtz: National Treasure.

Did you get to talk to him for your new book, Mark?

Just wait until Trump surpasses Ford. At the rate he's going, it won't take long. Too much winning?

Thanks, Jim. He’s my senator and that was super easy.

Zoltan Karparthy?

I’ll watch anything with Art Carney in it—and have.

I stand with Ukraine.

Collecting my thoughts—with an important sidebar on his theatre work—a salute to one of my all-time favorite actors.

I can't say it any better than Francis Ford Coppola: “The loss of a great artist, always cause for both mourning and celebration: Gene Hackman a great actor, inspiring and magnificent in his work and complexity. I mourn his loss, and celebrate his existence and contribution.”

Watching a Sondheim interview and he's talking about lyric writing. “And things can catenate… Oh, I didn’t think, “pinch, punch, paunch… PENSION!”
This post isn't about Sondheim. It's about my never having heard the word catenate before. I swear. I like having a new word. I can't wait to use it.

If you remember her turn at the 2022 Tonys singing her 11:00 solo from "Paradise Square" (and winning the Tony minutes later), you know who Joaquina Kalukango is. Caught her cabaret act last night and here's my report:
