Orville Peck and Eva Noblezada are sensational and not to be missed in Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club. The two of them are simply unreal.

Orville Peck was absolutely sensational in his Broadway debut tonight. His Emcee in 'Cabaret' is wild, insane, and deeply, deeply unsettling. I cried a lot, not just bc of OP, but because it all feels so close to what's happening in the US now. As for OP... a bat outta hell.

For sure. The last American made manual typewriters to maintain their quality beyond the late 60s. (And into the 80s no less!) Besides the Selectric and the Wheelwriter, this was pretty much the end of the line for good American typewriters.
