I really dislike 'school editions' of any show. Do it as written or don't do it at all.

If you're around the city and want a full-on cotton candy, feel good show, this one can't be beat. It's basically a musical that was custom built around one showstopper after another, with a paper-thin book to (just barely) get you from hit to hit. It's not Chaucer, but the tap is jaw dropping. This London production went all-out and clearly they spent a ton of money on costumes, sets, etc. It's a really beautiful production. Oh, and Lulu is Dorothy Brock... And not terrible. She gave a good performance. Until we get Stro's Crazy For You back on Broadway, this is a nice place holder.

The Parker is beautiful. Then again, I love Adler's design aesthetic. I still think the best bang for your buck is renting a private home. The inventory of beautifully kept mid-century mod houses in PS is likely the best in the world. My two favorites are the Skyfall house and the Twin Palms estate (aka, the Frank Sinatra house): https://www.luxuryretreats.com/vacation-rentals/united-states/california-desert-cities/palm-springs/skyfall-114593 http://www.sinatrahouse.com/

No, subtitles are necessary for some films and in other parts of the world

Orlando has less than nothing going for it in terms of gay life. It's a barren landscape. As for culture, even less.

If a cop wants to arrest you, he's going to arrest you. Don't fool yourself.

So, you're saying that a chorus member doesn't deserve recognition? On many shows, the chorus are the kids doing the heavy lifting.

I'm going for the opening preview. The cast can't be beat. Got lucky to find a couple of orchestra seats (and perhaps had a little help from Amex)

I've always felt that a TONY for a lead replacement actor would be great. There have been many performances by replacements that were far better than the original cast.

It's a brilliant piece of theatre. Money well spent. Not only is it well-acted, but the stagecraft is unlike anything I've ever seen before. Enjoy!

Start slowly and work your body back into the movement. I can't personally vouch for Crossfit, but would recommend any HIIT workout: https://dailyburn.com/life/fitness/high-intensity-hiit-workout/ As you age, you want to remain not only strong, but flexible. That's something that Crossfit doesn't stress, leading it to be a major cause of new sports-related injuries. https://www.evolvemyfitness.com/blog/2017/8/30/crossfits-injury-rates-revealed I agree to 'Just Do it,' but more importantly do it well, in control and with proper form.

I saw Garfield in London and would agree. It's not a fully-realized gay character. It feels.... Insincere. The British audiences didn't laugh when I saw it. Whether they understood the gravity of the situation or not, it was deathly silent during that scene.

It's a Higgins quote from My Fair Lady

She has strict instructions as to her behavior. She's to keep to two subjects: The weather and everybody's health. 'Fine day' and 'How do you do.'

Lane for an Emmy? Do you mean TONY?

I love it when you talk dirty

This was more a discussion of the current West End and incoming Broadway production. The ministry series- while not terrible by any means- is very different from seeing it live. I thought that Pacino did a fair amount of Pacino-esque mugging in his role, but Thompson and Streep just nailed it. I can't imagine as an actor trying to climb that mountain, live, every night. I have so much respect for those who can do it.

Work hard + invest wisely = Resume?

Google it. I'm sure someone has waxed poetic about it somewhere.

RBG. But I bet it'd take another $10k or so to get the really good stuff about Scalia.

I get that The Skivvies are selling the skin, but in seeing their stuff a few times in NYC, the shows always feel... Meh. If I want go-go boys, I don't want to go to 54 Below

It'll sell to a Broadway crowd, but it's like Legally Blonde without the fun wordplay. Truly forgettable music. Very little set, mostly screens and projections.

Sadly (or bitterly, even), if I was ever that thin in my teens and early 20s, I'd have been able to rock a mean pair of Diesel jeans. Compliment taken, but the celeb I'm compared to on a very, very regular basis is Macklemore...

Based on this conversation, I want to put together a multipart Netflix series about how to fuck and get fucked. Sort of a sexual how-to travelogue. It'll be like if Rick Steves discovered prostate massage, poppers and silicone-based lube all in the same day.
