Vampirism is inherently queer.

Blood, Sweat & Queers opens with a killer foreword by Hall and carries this theme through to the end.

Oh of course, I more mean that this is egg on Lukowski's face: there were multiple lawsuits about how similar to Fleetwood Mac this play is!

Lazy analysis is a disease

How did Dead Outlaw pull off one of my favorite Tony performances? Elmer McCurdy stan @itsmargarethall.bsky.social got the deets playbill.com/article/anat...

Rest in Peace Brian Wilson.

An artistic genius whose public struggles kickstarted convos about mental health that continue to save lives. I know countless artists who have gotten help specifically because of Brian. Go listen to Pet Sounds, and check in with people you love who may be struggling.

Another Tony Awards ceremony in the books.

As always, the hardest yet most rewarding day of the season. Head on over to Playbill to see our continuing coverage, and buy your favorite theatre journalists a drink if you see them in the wild this month. Let the next season begin!

Five Reminders as we head into Tony Sunday

1. You're allowed to care about things; you're also allowed not to care. Apathy is not a virtue, but cognizance is

2. Broadway is, first and foremost, a commercial industry. It isn't an art form. A lot of things will make sense the moment you accept that

5. DO NOT TALK DURING THE IN MEMORIAM

3. There is no objectivity in art, or in analyzing it. If your favorite show or performer is not awarded, that does not denigrate your taste or experience.

4. Every person you see on that screen will have been poked and prodded to the point of lunacy. Give them grace if they seem a bit delirious.

Ducked into the first show of the next season as I mentally prepare for the Tonys gauntlet tomorrow

I’m thrilled to bits to be a fellow for this year’s National Critics Institute at the O'Neill.

Joining this prestigious program is an honor. I love the art of analysis, and I am eager to sharpen my pen with this illustrious group of writers. Now, where is my George Jean Nathan baseball cap?

Thank you John!

Julia Knitel's beautiful work in Dead Outlaw resulted in one of my favorite Tony nominations this year. Gorgeous video orchestrated by @itsmargarethall.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpdV...
