Saw the National Theater's Follies in a movie theater today as part of the National Theater Live series.
It's a great production of a show I like more and more each time I see it. Well worth catching.

Lucas Hedges is in both Three Billboards and Lady Bird. He also was the son who lost his father in last years Manchester By The Sea.
I saw The Disaster Artist last week and it's a very well done fun ride. James Franco will probably get a Best Actor nod.
Just binge watched this new series on Netflix and really enjoyed it.

It's a humorous faux documentary trying to get to the bottom of who painted the dicks
on the cars of 27 teachers.
I marched in the first NYC Gay Pride Parade in 1970 and, happily, saw Bette Midler perform in Washington Square after the third.
Haven't done much lately. In 1970 I was working in a very gay friendly business and knew there would be no repercussions so I figured, if not me, who?

This show was done at the Atlantic this past year and has incredible buzz. Could very well be the next
"hard ticket" on Broadway.
I saw Come From Away yesterday and it looks to me like another big hit is on the way. Believe it opens 3/12.
It's the story of the people of Gander, Newfoundland who found themselves with 38 planes of stranded passengers on September 11. It's a musical and I believe will be a hard ticket after it opens. It's the feel good about humanity story we all need right now.
Back in the 70's I worked in a 5 star very exclusive hotel so I've met many: 1) Paul Newman 2) Steve McQueen 3) Julia Child 4) Mick Jagger 5) Warren Beatty, etc. etc. etc.
