.@MTA Why is there a gate locking the entrance to the staircase that connects the 42 St. F train to Times Square? I had to use another fare to go to the street and walk to the 2/3 trains.

That kind of behavior should not be tolerated in a theatre unless Tom Hiddleston is doing a Harold Pinter revival.

It's not Canada. It's God's wrath at there being no Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals playing on Broadway. Next comes locust. Then a revival of The Frogs.

More like A Doll's Unfurnished Apartment.

The Tony Awards and WGA have reached an agreement. The broadcast will go on, though in an altered format. It's being reported that the telecast will consist of non-scripted segments, so it'll be like going to a Broadway show where everyone is played by @JackieHoffman16.

"As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself on the red carpet of the Met Gala..."

Since New York, New York is playing next to The Thanksgiving Play, maybe they oughta change the name to Manahatta, Manahatta.

I'm going to start calling @Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo Rich Little, because he does a great Tommie Agee impersonation.

At least Perfect Crime is still running.

“As weird as Czechoslovak-American Marionette Theatre’s production of Václav Havel’s Audience sounds, in the end translator/director Vit Horejs’ charming bit of protest theatre disguised as whimsey makes perfect sense.” onstageblog.com/theatrecrawl…

So the SNL sketch about people who know more about classic films/TV shows than contemporary ones got an All About Eve quote wrong. But honestly, I wouldn't have known if it wasn't the lyric of a song from the Broadway musical version.

“On the surface, the newest offerings at WP Theater and The Tank aren’t very similar, but they’re linked by the theme of attempts to control women; one through personal behavior and the other through political acts.” onstageblog.com/theatrecrawl…

“I feel a sense of relief when the house light go down, the actors appear, and for a while, I have no obligations but to sit and listen to what the artists want to communicate. This is especially welcome when they’re of a culture that’s not mine...” onstageblog.com/theatrecrawl…

Gordon Boudreau, in his guise as the title character of The Wildly Inappropriate Poetry of Arthur Greenleaf Holmes, understands completely if you’re so offended by the tastelessness of his presentation that you choose to get up and leave the theatre. onstageblog.com/theatrecrawl…

I never have a problem with dry January since I don't like too much vermouth anyway.

A bit of a delay in getting this week's column up, but here we go! onstageblog.com/theatrecrawl…
