Thank you Todd for adding “The Color Purple” to my list of “Pop-sicals” (an oh-so-clever very historical term I came up with for when pop stars write Broadway scores)! What a great episode.
NEW ONE HIT WONDERLAND! How have I not done this one yet?

I’m performing in “Blow the Man Down: A Sea Shanty Concert” for my Birthday Weekend! Super fun way to spend a rainy weekend in LA. Fri 11/14 at 7pm & Sat 11/15 at 9:30pm. If you like Ren Faires and Shakespeare and 6 part harmonies you’ll love this. 🏴☠️

They don’t make ‘em like her anymore. Give me a gravelly voiced dancer-first Broadway star again.
Celebrating Ann Reinking on her birthday with this astonishing Jack Mitchell photo. Annie was elegant, intelligent, hilarious, bawdy, ferocious, silly, empathetic, and deep as the ocean. 💔💜

For some reason my feed is completely hijacked (happily!) by people I know working Off-Broadway. Two of the shows were LA theatre transfers (cuz we’re a theatre town 💁🏼♀️), and the other just has a gal I know who is PERFECT for the part she got. The theatre world is so. SMALL.

Back in September @jenelleriley.bsky.social asked me if I’d like to join her for the taping of a “big Wicked special at the Dolby,” and I wasn’t allowed to post about it…UNTIL NOW! “Wicked: One Wonderful Night” premieres on Thursday, Nov 6th!

Not to be THAT guy (I will though. I’ve earned it), but our city burned down this year. A World Series win is a nice low-stakes little “yay!” for us. Go Dodgers - I don’t care much about sports, but I love my hometown.

I mean. I dunno. In my humble opinion no one has ever done Sweeney better than Hearn. How does he sing those notes like a hair metal baritone? Perfect October stuff this is. youtu.be/Dr1XZnPIawg?...

Watching The Lost Boys and playing our drinking game. Every time anyone says “Michael,” ya drink. You’ll get wasted on Kiefer’s lines alone.

So uh I recently found this guy behind my house. He’s heavy and I don’t know why it’s there. We’ve had no scary spooky activities in our home, though, and we’ve been here for months and months.
I should just leave it there, right? I mean, just to be safe, I shouldn’t fuck with this…right?
