Kevin Kline’s name may be the only thing that got his production on broadway in the first place. It’s an interesting relationship. Shows need to sell thousands of tickets every week - a ‘name’ is relevant to tourists and will sell tickets. Once there is demand for a broadway production, there will often be demand for…

I’m friends with a Tony voter and through him am loosely acquainted with a few others. My general impression is no, that “name” actors don’t get preferential consideration.

You are setting yourself up for a very hollow feeling if the only reason you’re watching your favorite team when they’re in title contention. I’ve watched my teams win the big game. It’s stressful as fuck when it’s happening, and 15 minutes after the confetti falls down you realize that nothing really changes. You…

Nice try, buddy. And then you’re gonna try and tell me there more than one Dakota? You gotta get up pretty early to pull one over on me!
