  3. “Pretty Woman” comes to Broadway, Armie Hammer stars in “Straight White Men,” and Chukwudi Iwuji plays Othello in Central Park. Illustration by Petra Eriksson The thought of Young Jean Lee on Broadway is enough to boggle the mind. The forty-three-year-old playwright is one of downtown’s most trenchant, least crowd-pleasing talents, whose stubbornly genre-resistant work melds identity politics, Dadaist humor, and metatheatrical mind games. “Songs of the Dragons Flying to Heaven” (2006) was a self-excoriating satire of Asian-American stereotypes. “Untitled Feminist Show” (2011) explored gender expression using six nude actors and minimal text. “Straight White Men,” which played at the Public Theatre in 2014, is a kind of topsy-turvy inversion of a naturalistic drama, written by someone who is neither a straight white man nor a naturalistic playwright. Second Stage brings it to the Helen Hayes this summer (starting previews June 29), with direction by Anna D. Shapiro and a cast that combines Broadway star power (Armie Hammer, Josh Charles, Tom Skerritt) with Lee’s avant-garde milieu (the transgender performance artist Kate Bornstein). The New Yorker

  5. Luck was with me for my first six months in the Gallery because Truereview was still posting here. I do not have his wonderful social skills, but know enough to welcome new posters and people who are posting again. I am so happy other people are posting, and @Moondance most of all for his ideas and carry through. Moondance has shown time and again, his value to the Gallery. A++
  6. https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/05/robin-williams-death-biography-dave-itzkoff-excerpt I am unsure about posting. Warning.
  7. Post by someone in the audience Saturday afternoon (All That Chat, a Broadway site): " As he got up it was clear he had really hurt himself and could barely put any weight on his right foot." Hope it really is a minor injury, and Jim Parsons is able to perform tomorrow night
