I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high
With some guy in the sky
is my idea of
nothing to do
Yet I get a kick out of you
~ Cole Porter (1934)
"An Evening with Marlene" - 1973

What was pre-ordered to be a Chanukah gift last year, but was then 8 months delayed, has finally arrived! Josie and the Pussycats is the greatest movie ever! #JoinTheArmy
I feel bad that the Evil Dead part was overshadowed by the anticipation of Josie, but so it goes.
#QuestionOfTheDay what's your favorite work of fiction that's NOT about trauma in any way

The Tony Awards were held last night, hosted by Pink, with big winners including "Liberation," about the 1970s feminist movement, and "Ragtime," a new version of the adaptation of E.L. Doctorow's novel about the American Dream. Here's @ew's coverage. We want to know: Generally speaking, are you a fan of musical theater? Tell us your favorite show in the comments, and where and when you saw it.
Last night, while everyone else was watching the Tony Awards, we were at Ebony Repertory Theatre seeing "Ain't Misbehavin'" (which I originally saw back in 1980 at the Aquarius Theatre with the original cast, and then later in 2008 at 5-Star Theatricals). ERT's production was very good, with one of the cast members from the 5-Star/Cabrillo production. It seemed a bit more disconnected from the personification of Fats Waller in the original, and the audience members needed to learn that light-emitting devices need to be turned off and stay off.

Musical/play of #MaloryTowers is back (I only heard of it a while after the first time). It’s briefly at #AlexandraPalace.
One of my friends' shows is up for lots of Tonys tonight.
I don't watch awards shows. Can't handle the preachy speeches... but... if you're watching please root for '2 Strangers Carry a Cake Across New York' and send good vibes.

Watched #PhantomOfTheOpera for the 3rd time in my life at the #OrpheumTheater in SF this past Friday.
The costumes, sets & audio were better than prior performances that I've seen.
It's still corny & over the top but I still like it. The voices of the leads are spectacular.
Don't know if it's sold out yet or not but it's till playing til 6/21.
