For me, her brilliance in The Drowsy Chaperone was something I appreciated only on a second and third visit. She was an expert in playing a dim bulb with perfect comedic timing.

Unlike you, I try to not to judge the guys I see. People all have different baggage to deal with. As for his particular circumstance, I never said he didn't have a wife or kids. Actually, I never said anything specific. But good on you for that weak attempt to smear me AND him in the process of your backhanded reply

Agree. Someone that I currently see on a regular basis is in his mid-20s, great face and beautifully built. His family situation prevents him from being openly gay, so he's turned to seeing me to keep his life in balance. While this might not be the exact situation the OP is in, there's a wide variety of guys out there who turn to escorts for a wide variety of reasons.

Awesome character actress. And her Broadway chops were impressive too.

More importantly? Tovey's role is a throwaway. It's just Scott Rudin stacking the cast. The real fireworks are with George and Martha. I hope this one matches the Kathleen Turner/Bill Irwin revival back in 2005.

Lockers vs Rooms How comfortable are you winging it for your first time? If you're either really into public play or just want to chance meeting someone who's already got a room, a locker will do fine. Rooms in some baths can offer you more amenities (porn, slings, themes, clear plexi between rooms to watch neighbors, etc). Other baths, it's just a closed door in the event you need a little breathing room. Sadly, not all bathhouses are like Steamworks in Chicago or some of the more storied baths in Europe and Asia. Some guys never want a room. A bath is a place to get in, get off and get out. Other guys want to use every second of that 8 hour time limit. You'll figure out where you stand once you've gotten in and explored around a little.

Hearing this, the piano nerd in me wants to know if it's a Hamburg or a NY Steinway

In a perfect world, the musical Tina would feature the neglected adopted child of an abusive golden-age film star. It's The Secret Garden, soaked in gin and covered with a thick coating of Comet cleanser. Susan Stroman would love working the wire hanger angle. 'Bring Me The Axe' has a nice musical ring to it.

Damn you for making me feel young again DAMN YOU.

... And the jukebox musicals just keep coming.

I read the title of this thread too fast. Thought it said 'Sinatra in Chicago.'

The difference between a hustler and a good escort is that a hustler will take advantage of that emotional baggage every single time. Sure, while it's fine to tell yourself that this is 'just business,' it's a lot more than that for some guys. Escorts can and do enjoy their work, their clients, the sex, the conversation, the friendship, a bond. Only the truly jaded think that that's not possible. Is this how many of us make our living? Yes. Does this involve the exchange of money? Yes. Does that mean that's all we focus on? No.

If you haven't had a chance to see the Broadway company of Waitress, I'd say now is the best time to go. Bean is with the show until early May. https://www.broadway.com/videos/159266/exclusive-watch-shoshana-bean-belt-out-she-used-to-be-mine-from-waitress/?page=1#play

Cranston gives one of those performances you remember long after you leave the show. His ability to go from near-silent to full on breakdown in a matter of two monologues is really impressive. The design of Network is interesting, if not a little over-kinetic. I believe that was the point. I'm seeing it again at the end of the month before it closes. Hoping that Tony Goldwyn has settled into the role. Wasn't a fan of Titiana Maslany at all and based on her resume, she's more natural on film than on stage.

If you thought this version of OK was bad, just wait until you watch British producers try to make Six The Musical the next Hamilton. It's making a US premier in Chicago this summer. It looks like a total fucking shlockfest, but that in itself could be entertaining (as long as the prices aren't too insane). The previews of this show make Showgirls look like Chaucer:

These guys aren't really escorts. They're assholes.

I'd agree. ... And this is why communicating expectations before a meet and picking up on in-person social cues is important

If you're fortunate in this business, you're desirable for how you look AND for what you say. I highly suggest to cultivate and keep all things in-shape

Are we talking traditional or emotional baggage?

I'm all for strong women of a certain age who give zero fucks about what people think of them. As long as she's not just another parrot and can post entertaining/insightful/interesting things, I'm all in.
