This is niche but If you didn’t take 8am ballet class with an old Eastern European woman who knew dang well you weren’t gonna be a ballerina but pushed you like you were Baryshnikov. Then are you really a performer? 😂

This is getting really tiresome, people. Each episode of Stranger Things is almost a full movie and there was a global pandemic and an extended WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike.

if you loved everything about Wicked except the direction, then you don’t know what a director does

It’s actually in the Emmy Awards bylaws that whoever wins Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy is required to be Mrs. Claus in the Thanksgiving Day Parade. We were robbed Jenna Maroney as Mrs. Claus.

I regret to inform you all that this will in fact be sung by James Corden. Y’all thought you won with that online petition to keep him out of the Wicked movies but no good deed goes unpunished!

this is such a good point!! I feel like older musicals felt theatrical while the editing in new musicals makes it feel too much like a movie I guess

many musical sequences captured on film in recent decades feel flat to camera. if you want to watch a pro shot of a stage musical, there are many. movies should immerse the audience and do what can’t be done on stage. to do else is a disservice to both artistic mediums.

25-30 is such a weird age group. You have to excel in your career, find a life partner, stay healthy and save money.

The qualifications of dimming all of Broadway’s lights is always so nebulous but if it really comes down to length of a career, Gavin Creel’s was tragically cut short. He wasn’t allowed the time. Read the room and DIM THEM ALL

Exactly what I was thinking. What is with all the picking and choosing and qualifications. 20+ year Broadway career. Tony winner. Beloved by all. It’s a no brainer. Dim every damn theater marquee and Times Square as well. It’s for one minute. I can’t with these theater wing

Gavin Creel brought the unexpected to expected roles. He played Cinderella’s Prince not as the dashing rogue, but as a weak man unbothered by circumstances. He made words you knew in your bones sound as if they’d never been spoken. His depth was as grand as his voice.

Gavin was roped into presenting an AWARESIE AWARD in 2016. He arrived at Studio 54 on his bike, didn’t know what this nonsense was about, and couldn’t have been more game. For those of us who didn’t really know him, you could always tell he was as kind as he was talented.
