this Gatsby dares to ask the question: If our Gatsby is first-rate, and his soirees are stunning, is that enough? Does a good host and a fun party make a great Great Gatsby? my review for @Variety variety.com/2024/legit/rev…
I’ve been a @dadjmi stan since college. I’m obsessed with this play and so excited to be seeing it again, and for it to get so much love.
this review captures so many of my frustrations and analyses them with with such wit and finesse. a perfect example of why @swholdren is one of my absolute favorite theater critics vulture.com/article/uncle-…
REVIEW: Amy Herzog's mournful lullaby MARY JANE comes to Broadway starring Rachel McAdams theatermania.com/news/review-am…
OH, MARY! opening on Broadway this summer at the Lyceum!!! thank the gay gods
MARY JANE is a gorgeous exploration of caregiving. in a season of loud, very big shows, this quiet hit is an absolute must-see. here’s my review for @theatermania theatermania.com/news/review-am…
excited to share my review of Ryan Donovan’s BROADWAY BODIES for @j_dtc. the book is a vital and essential new work on disability, size, and queerness on stage. academic but super readable, go check it out. muse.jhu.edu/pub/177/articl…
let’s hope Rachel McAdams is great, I’m missing watching the drag race finale live for this. my dedication to covering this season knows no bounds.
I find it confusing that Lempicka keeps using mashed up NYT quotes (including one from 2018) instead of the several positive reviews they got for this Broadway production. frustrating how much this leans into the "only NYT matters" publicity-marketing mindset.
was hoping Purlie Victorious would win best revival, but with this latest ruling it seems like Appropriate will likely be the victor
WE GOT A CAST RECORDING YALL 🚨🚨🚨

I liked things in the new Broadway productions of ENEMY and VANYA but alas, I loved neither. My review for @americamag americamagazine.org/arts-culture/2…
There is no common sense at all in making the people who need the box office wait in the same line as the people with tickets in hand.
@clewisreviews @dadjmi Thanks for the good vibes.
This is my first time ever seeing Cabaret live onstage in general (don’t worry, I’ve seen the movie more times than I can count) so I’m going to walk out a changed woman no matter what
The Mendes/Cumming Emcee was iconic & worked well. HOWEVER, too many directors took the wrong lesson from that interpretation & I’d argue this permeates from the top down to community theatre.
The Notebook: I’m the most heart-wrenching, sob-inducing show on Broadway! Illinoise: Hold my beer.
A Truly Great Day. Following last evening’s performance, Cole Escola shared our excitement for our continued antics on Broadway. #OhMary
The thing I don’t think those off-campuses understand is that these demonstrations would have petered out anyway in a couple of weeks. The semester is nearly over. Doing anything at all is escalation, let alone calling in the fucking national guard. It’s nonsense.
Before I left for work at my Broadway advertising agency job this morning my boyfriend said, “hey, don’t let those gay guys be mean to you today” and you know what? I needed to hear it ❤️
@swholdren @clewisreviews Amazing, spot-on review that perfectly articulates what’s special about Chekhov’s plays and why they’re so difficult to get right
Having now seen Cabaret, I’ve concluded the reviews were kind.
from personal experience - i think rapid body transformation “fitness journeys” need to come with disclaimers as a cautionary tale. most of the time, there is potential unhealthy behavior development involved. I did mine over a decade ago and im still unlearning the damage done
Must we re-litigate critics every single season? More people read reviews than features. If critics die, coverage dies.
Two ripped gay gym bros are feeling each others pecs right next to me at the bench press… when is it going to be my turn !!!
@clewisreviews @swholdren More than once I've left something and thought "What felt off here?" or "What about that did I LOVE?" and always go to Sara's review and slap my forehead and say "RIGHT!" She's the best.
not to be like “this is one of the best plays i have ever seen live” and “cole escola is our greatest living performer” but also… both of those things are true
