Currently, "Come From Away", is not a difficult ticket to get. It's available at TKTS & on TDF. The performance I saw was sold out.

Saw this new musical at the Schoenfeld Theatre. It's a 100 minute play with no intermission. It deals with the tragic events surrounding 9-11 and how 38 planes were diverted to a small airport in Gander, Newfoundland. It's a true story that deals with the passengers, some 7,000, who were stranded in Gander for 5 days and the folks who took care of them. As the planes begin to arrive there is a lot of confusion as to the steps needed to house and care for so many stranded passengers. Some remained on the planes for 28 hours with no knowledge of what was happening. As the story unfolds, it focus on the lives of 12 passengers who cover all walks of life and how they handled these difficult days. The people of the small town of Gander graciously and generously team up to care for them. They provide meals, clothing, housing, phones, support, and entertainment. The cast of 12 play multiple roles and do an excellent job in portraying the lives of so many. It's fast paced and makes a wonderful connection with the audience. It covers the horrific events of 9-11 in a most respectful way. Wonderful job done by the orchestra, some perform on stage with the cast. In an attempt not to leave you emotional, the band takes to the stage during the curtain call and plays upbeat traditional music from Gander. http://comefromaway.com/?gclid=CIOj3d2C_tICFQiBswodCRcOVw

Perhaps you'd like to add this list to the Strip Club FAQ. https://www.companyofmen.org/forums/male-strip-clubs-faq.41/

I'll be looking forward to your report.

Totally agree. The best new musical I've seen on Broadway this season. Should receive many Tony nominations. I already purchased my ticket to see it again. The lead, Ben Platt, is amazing as Evan Hansen. Excellent actor & singer. Along with a very talented cast. The music & story are mesmerizing.

The soundtrack for Dear Evan Hansen is now available on iTunes. Really good!

Saw this show last night @ the Music Box on 45th St. The best report I can give about any show is that I'd see it again. Dear Evan Hansen is definitely one I'd see again. Coop

Thanks VDN for the pics & updates. Hot looking dancer. So, the buffboyzz are coming to Evolve. Very interesting. Coop

A Catholic Priest, a Baptist Preacher and a Rabbi all served as Chaplains in northern Ontario . They would meet frequently to talk shop. The comment was made that preaching to people was fairly easy; a real challenge would be to preach to a bear! They decided to experiment. All 3 would go into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it to their religion. 7 days later, the 3 men met. Father Flannery, who had his arm in a sling, was on crutches, and had bandages on his body, began: 'Well,' he said, 'I went to find a bear. When I found him, I read to him from the Catechism. Well, that bear began to slap me around, so I grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and he became as gentle as a lamb. The Bishop is coming to give him first communion. Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, & had his arms and legs in casts. He exclaimed, 'Brothers, I went out and I found a bear; then I read to him from The Bible, but that bear wanted nothing to do with me. I took hold of him and we began to wrestle, until we came to a creek. I quickly dunked and baptized him. He became as gentle as a lamb. Hallelujah! The Priest and the Reverend looked down at the Rabbi, lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and traction - IVs and monitors running in and out of him, in really bad shape. The Rabbi looked up and said: "Looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best way to start."

A father and son went hunting together for the first time. The father said, "Stay here and be very QUIET. I'll be across the field." A little while later, the father heard a bloodcurdling scream and ran back to his son. "What's wrong?" the father asked. "I told you to be quiet." The boy, bless his heart, answered. "Look, I was quiet when the snake slithered across my feet. I was quiet when the bear breathed down my neck. I didn't move a muscle when the skunk climbed over my shoulder. I closed my eyes and held my breath when the wasp stung me. I didn't cough when I swallowed the gnat. I didn't swear or scratch when the poison oak started itching. BUT...when the two squirrels crawled up my trouser leg and one of them said, "Should we eat them or take them with us?"...Well...I guess I just panicked!!"

Adonis has moved out of their Brooklyn location. They are now at EVOLVE on Wednesdays and Saturdays. EVOLVE 221 E. 58th St. between 2nd and 3rd Avenues NYC

5,000 Congrats... Axiom, 5,000 posts and all much appreciated. I'm looking forward to the next 5,000. Thanks for your steady contributions to this website. One can never tell how much your posts have helped others. We all learn from one another. HOWEVER, you chose to post this in the "Gallery", so, where's the beef? Congratulations on reaching this landmark number. Coop

Adonis Lounge 113 Franklin Street Greenpoint, Brooklyn The club opens at 8pm and dancing starts around 9:30. When I arrived, I was greeted by the manager Tim and a very friendly doorman who collected a $10 cover charge. The doorman gave me the grand tour. Showed me where to hang my coat, where the rest rooms were located, the area for lap dances, and the champagne rooms. He said if I had any questions he'd be happy to answer them... I was impressed with this warm welcome. Since the dancing hadn't started yet, I ordered a beer: $5.00 and later a mixed drink: $8.00. The club is average size, with a comfortable sofa area for lap-dances, behind that is the VIP room. There's a small stage with a pole and the tables/chairs are located facing it. There is also limited seating at the bar. The club has a state of the art lighting and sound system... This location has a lot of possibilities and, as time goes on, I'm hoping to see more privacy in the lap dance area and putting the balcony to better use, (currently used as a changing area for dancers). Also, it would be nice to have some bar snacks available. One of the first dancers to perform on stage was JR. Some of the dancers enter stage for their 1st of two song wearing only their skimpy and revealing bikini briefs, others are in street clothes or uniforms. They then will strip down to their briefs... As for JR, he was amazing wearing only a well stocked jock strap.. He's good looking, with a nice solid muscular build, very enthusiastic, and sported a user friendly huge-n-thick boner throughout his stage show, (size queens will love him and bottoms will cry out for more!). There were over a dozen dancers working. The range was from twink to muscle. The friends I was with all found some dancers that captured their attention. At the 1st night I attended, Buffdaddy worked the club as co-promoter/mc and brought with him some of his famous buffboyzz. Nice additions to the lineup. Buffdaddy, as the professional he is, made everyone feel comfortable and important. He adjusted the volume of the music just right and clearly announced each dancer. Throughout the night there was always a dancer on stage... I'm hoping this combo of Tim and Buffdaddy works. They are both dedicated to making this club succeed and providing us with some alternatives to male strip clubs in NYC. These men truly understand what we are looking for when attending a strip club. The motto here should be "yes we can"... As the night went on more and more customers arrived and, by the time I left, the place was almost packed.

Ditto Lucky, I agree... And speaking as a Moderator for this Forum, very few pictures have been removed. The Guidelines are just meant to point out what's not permitted. This is a new Forum and, like other Forums, guidelines are necessary to set the tone...The success of the Gallery has been the participation of many fun loving members who enjoy posting pictures and talking about the male body. Keep up the great work guys, your hard work is most appreciated. The Gallery is quickly becoming one of the most popular Forums. Coop

Glee One of my favorite TV shows... A young and very talented cast. Last season's final episode was amazing. I'm looking forward to the start of the new season.

Eat, Drink, and be Merry... Josh, There are so many good restaurants in NYC that I'm certain wherever you go, you and your friends will have an enjoyable time. I noticed that most of the restaurants mentioned are in the Chelsea area. They are all good.... If you're looking to move to Midtown, here are some places that I've recently attended parties at and had a wonderful time. They can easily accommodate a party of 10. Most have websites... Rosie O'Grady's: 52nd St. and 7th Ave Ted's Montana Grill: 51st St. and 6th Ave Heartland Brewery: there's one on 51st and 6th Ave For another meal other than a b'day celebration: Cafeteria: corner of 17th St. and 7th Ave Vynl: 51st and 9th Ave Enjoy your stay in NYC!

"maybe someone can talk him into staying in Montreal long enough to win." Taz, With top prize of $5,000, I'd say the money is doing the talking. Hopefully, this contest will heat things up in MTL and keep the snowbirds at home... Good luck with the contest... Btw, is it open only to dancers? How about a night of "dancing with the Stockaholics"? :-)
