A PBJ sandwich (preferably with grape jelly) and a pile of Golden Siracha Doritos. Tastes like satay, highly recommend.

There's definitely something to be said for The Johns, Linnell and Flansburgh, maintaining the same high level of craft and still finding new song topics and unique lyrical approaches after over 40 years

That's a disappointment, I enjoyed the whiteboard gimmick.

But it at least forces any GOP member who has tried to lay low to be seen on camera by the voting public officially attaching themselves to the dumpster fire

No one has had a purer Broadway experience this year

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

So Sora basically telling on itself that when you type in Dracula it's trained to go "Surely they want the one from Hotel Transylvania, just go grab it"
