This bill is just as bad in the dead of night as it is in the light of day. My colleagues and I are continuing the fight on the floor.

Joe Biden is a good and decent man. His Presidency was a triumph for meaningful legislation to improve the lives of the many Americans. He and his family deserve peace during this difficult time.

I saw her in Gypsy in 1959. It was my first show and a life changer.

“And as a Ukrainian-American Jew, who built a holocaust museum, whose family immigrated here as refugees from the Russian pogroms, let me say this to Donald Trump – Stop tearing down the Constitution in the name of my ancestors. Do not claim that your authoritarian power grabs are about combatting anti-semitism.” Gov. JB Pritzker

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 43 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Thank you for the praise. I am grateful and honored by your kind words. I can't wait until everyone sees our musical. I believe it captures the emotions of the book and the film, and Mike Stoller's music is divine.

Yes, the new Gypsy with Audra is exquisite. A beautiful show made even more beautiful.

Thank you, Marcie! I'm a musical theatre geek myself. Luckily, my daughter lives in New York (she's a talented director in theatre) and we see everything we possibly can. I love Purlie-the musical too, and there's a rumor it's coming back. I go back to Merman in Gypsy for my first show. Yep. Old.
