Congrats Amy & Isaac! Bravo to Gina (red dress), I suspect you did all the choreography. And hurrah to all 60+ helpers. A fantastic proposal
PS - Amy was Charity in our Sweet Charity and Gina was her co-star and co-choreographer. Isaac’s the lead in our current show City of Angels!
Why would musical theater be the only culture that resists newness? It doesn’t make sense. Bands become successes on tumblr. Where’s the tumblr of musical theater? [The problem is] older people are willing to pay for it, and they’re the same audience that’s not going to want something new. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. I’d rather go see our future than most musicals. The theater is simply not democratized in any way, and other art forms are.”

The Great Gatsby »
First thing I did after waking was watch this Great Gatsby trailer. Time for a reread and then a repeat viewing of the Robert Redford version.
Montezuma by Fleet Foxes was the closing track on S1E6 of Girls and fuck if it wasn’t perfectly placed.
Yes, I’m still watching it. There’s plenty to complain about but it’s grown on me for better or worse. This episode was about homecoming <skip personal connection to moments in dumb show> and it was good. Not great, not mediocre. But solid. Cheers to a show with parents that fuck, naked people that aren’t thin, distasteful personalities, under-done makeup and bad hair. Double-cheers to a show that can nail the nuanced ego-shift of a small town girl who made it to a big city and is back home for the weekend.

Um.
Thanks? I was hoping to kick some ass with them, but food inspiration isn’t bad.
Look at their aged hands. My god, the music these men have made.
