So is adolescence for straight men filled with mutual j/o sessions?
Secondary question: are circle jerks really a thing?
Tertiary question: where the hell was all of this when I was growing up?

And his name's Buck Angel.

Yeah, if you go by the measurement of "can sell tickets based on star power", I'd say it's pretty much down to Audra McDonald, Sutton Foster, Idina Menzel, Patti LuPone, and Nathan Lane. Bernadette Peters and Angela Lansbury also probably make the list, though Peters is a rare sight these days and Lansbury does more…

In my experience, the fan base of GREASE consists of far more straight women than it does gay men.

Clearly, CAROLINE OR CHANGE should have won the Tony.

A friend of mine did a completely gender-reversed production, which worked quite well, but I may like this idea even better. Do you think it's possible without rewriting the book?

Isn't it funny that, even as every other musical theatre composer's catalog has been raided, we have yet to see a Moose Charlap revue?

Would you say that Sutton and Audra the only top-tier Broadway stars left? I'd add at least Victoria Clark and Kelli O'Hara, and I think Jessie Mueller is *very* close to becoming another one.

I'd also number myself among the musical theatre-lovers who pretty much loathe it.

I count myself a fan of FROZEN (if not a rabid one) but yeah, from a storytelling perspective it's a *strange* film.

One-woman version starring Stockard Channing or GTFO.

I've been saying for years that Faye Dunaway would be an excellent candidate for a Mickey Rourke-style career revival. I hear she's a challenging personality, and who knows if she'd be willing to suppress vanity to the required extent, but she was a fantastic actress at her peak, and I think there's another great…

I know this isn't a theatre-focused site, but the absence of George Bernard Shaw, who can lay claim to being the greatest theatre critic and the greatest playwright of his era, is unfortunate.

Yeah, this video is fantastic.

I'm also personally anti-partner, for a lot of the reasons mentioned—it's sterile and ambiguous, for instance—and also because I didn't want to have different terminology than straight couples. There are straight couples that use the term partner (which is super-confusing!), but it implies an opting-out of, or…

That performance absolutely guts me. The fact that her album—and that song in particular—didn't end up on more "best of the year" lists in 2012 really disappoints me.

Apparently it's getting done at Playwright's Horizons in NYC next season, so New Yorkers…look forward to that.

So last year, Anne Washburn wrote a play called MR. BURNS: AN ELECTRIC PLAY imagining a world where electricity failed, and the survivors memorized (and distorted) the "Cape Feare" episode of "The Simpsons", treating it as a holy text. More on it here: http://theater.nytimes.com/…

Serving two purposes: beautiful enough to make the apocalypse more bearable, and a possible explanation of how the apocalypse happened.

As far as I know, yes.
