I have quite a few of these, but my best one is Adam Driver in the off-Broadway play The Retributionists in 2009. I don't remember much about the play itself, but I knew he and someone else in the play, Cristin Milioti, had something special.

I'm finally free!

Yes, you are the only one.

There was no karaoke on this week's AND JUST LIKE THAT. What a waste of time. It should just be musical theater people singing and nothing else.

It was canceled, so no. I watched all of it and already don't remember anything about it.

Interview: Original Seymour Lee Wilkof Is a New Grandfather in Real Life and Onstage - TheaterMania.com The Little Shop OG currently stars in The Reservoir at the Geffen Playhouse.

I interviewed Lee Wilkof about doing the Torah portion from his own bar mitzvah in THE RESERVOIR, and of course we talked about ASSASSINS.

I hate this timeline so much.

Playbill for THE RESERVOIR at Geffen Playhouse.

I didn't think I'd get a pride Playbill this year since I didn't go to New York in June, but I guess we have them in LA too.

Oh man. Just saw that DEAD OUTLAW is closing at the end of the month. See it while you can.

Interview: David Yazbek Talks About Dead Bodies on Broadway, Which of His Shows Are Due for Revival, and More - TheaterMania.com Dead Outlaw is Yazbek’s sixth Broadway musical as composer and lyricist.

I got to interview one of my favorite musical theater writers, David Yazbek. I'm always asking for a DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS revival, so I finally got to talk to him about that. This didn't make it into the article, but he assured me the full DEAD OUTLAW cast recording is coming soon.

Team Wyatt on AND JUST LIKE THAT. His family sucks at Apples to Apples and he had every right to get upset.

In what scene?

The only update I want after the Tony Awards is whether Hue Park is still single.

Oh and ENGLISH was another play I loved that didn't get anything, but at least it has a Pulitzer.

When MAYBE HAPPY ENDING first opened, I was worried it wouldn't sell well enough to stay open long enough for me to see it, and look at it now.

I hope so!

I did love MAYBE HAPPY ENDING and I'm happy it won best musical. The biggest disappointment (other than the musical lead categories) is that JOHN PROCTOR IS THE VILLAIN and DEAD OUTLAW are going home empty-handed. #TonyAwards

Did you not just see Audra, though? #TonyAwards

Darren Criss has a Tony Award before Jeremy Jordan and Andrew Durand. And I know he wasn't nominated this year, but Brian d'Arcy James doesn't even have a Tony! #TonyAwards

Ok I do think that Darren Criss was the best I've seen him in MAYBE HAPPY ENDING, but no way did he deserve to win over these other performances. #TonyAwards

I think the problem is that a lot of these shows don't have songs that make sense out of context.

I don't think all the shows sold themselves that well with the #TonyAwards performances, but I love how this season embraced weirdness.

Having Audra do Rose’s Turn as the excerpt of the show is like asking someone to do the storm scene from Lear out of nowhere. Totally bonkers.

It's too bad that DEAD OUTLAW probably won't win anything tonight, but I guess the prize is that it even went to Broadway in the first place. And for me it was one of the best performances of the night. #TonyAwards

Interview: Sam Pinkleton on Creating a “Joy Machine” With La Cage aux Folles - TheaterMania.com The director discusses his new production at Pasadena Playhouse.

I was starting to think I was a jinx because people I interviewed this season keep losing, but Sam Pinkleton won, so I think I'm ok. #TonyAwards

That HAMILTON anniversary performance was a highlights reel designed to be a crowd pleaser and I loved every fucking second of it. #TonyAwards

Agree you have to act Sondheim, but to me, she did. Agree to disagree!

I don't know if any song from the show would work out of context, though.

You thought she was bad? I thought she was the best thing about that show.

It was a competitive year, but Lea Salonga should have been nominated for STEPHEN SONDHEIM'S OLD FRIENDS. Just saying. #TonyAwards
