I love Broadway Musicals.
I love playing Connections.
Do you love Broadway Musicals and playing Connections? Today is your lucky day! Give this a try. If I get enough positive feedback, I'll try to make it a weekly thing. 😃

I am 131 days away from a 3K day streak on DuoLingo. I've been doing this for over ten years. Lately, they've gone downhill. I'm told this is because they've shifted from live programmers to AI.
So .. what is the better app for language learning?

"Why do you collect CDs? It's so wasteful. Everything is online these days."
Yes, except it's not. Tonight I discovered the Original Broadway Cast recording of Chess is not streaming. Nor, when I checked, was The Wiz OBC. Too much is missing. I'll keep my CDs.

I want one thing from this fall’s revival of Chess and one thing only: reinstate that glorious key change in “Someone Else’s Story”.

Happy first anniversary - coincidentally, also the first anniversary of The Broadway Fan Club (who are not, unfortunately, on BlueSky. Yet.)
The merch table calls that t-shirt "the Tour Shirt". I wish it were a mock up of a Gil Brently tour tee from 1948 with the Amsterdam date.

Hmm... we still don't have Best Ensemble or Best Music Supervision/Direction, but maybe it's also time to look at "Best Comedy" AND "Best Drama".
I know. I KNOW! But how the heck do you compare "Oh, Mary!" with ANYTHING else? Last time I can remember anything this riotous was Noises Off.

Hard to believe it's been a year already. Broadway Jeopardy quickly became an institution in our house - our Thursday "must see" TV. Congratulations on the series, but more, thank you for creating one of our favourite things (along with the ... well, you know. They're wrapped up in strings.)
How do you measure a year? 525,600 minutes? How about 1,352 Broadway trivia questions!! Come celebrate one full year of episodes with this week’s Broadway Jeopardy!!

Also at this year's Tony Awards, I want to see Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard sing a mashup of Mutual Admiration Society, Bosom Buddies, and Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better).

I will not be the tiniest bit angry if, when Cole Escola wins his Best Actor in a Play Tony, his acceptance speech is a Madcap Medley.

Got back from NYC last evening - I didn't get to wish @bwayghostlight.bsky.social congrats in person, but at least I got to enjoy the gala 50th episode with a surprise clue from one of my favourite NYC people (whom I also missed seeing this week). Here's to the next 50! :)
