When there’s a long list of unproblematic Jewish actors available for an iconic role and you go with someone who has been accused of racist and harmful behavior, it’s rather disappointing.

Absolutely iconic!!!!

Beetlejuice Halloween Starring Alex Brightman & Elizabeth Teeter Curtain Call
One of the most emotional nights at Hadestown!!! Amber Gray’s final performance was everything you’d want in a special moment in theatre. Stay tuned for curtain call & post-SHO report!🌹
I was at a musical the other day where someone in the audience started sobbing. They were a few rows back, but everyone I was around was crying as well.
Then I heard someone shush them and I couldn’t believe it.
Please be kind. People are hurting & moments are hitting harder.
Seeing Amber Gray’s final performance in Hadestown last night & Jordan Fisher’s final performance in Dear Evan Hansen tonight.
Broadway’s chosen to keep emotions dialed up high all weekend.
Watch Broadway stars sing “Sunday” from Sunday in the Park with George in Times Square to honor Stephen Sondheim.
Full performance coming later on .

Then Andrew remembered, "Can we do the Sondheim 80th heart squeeze?" I had showed him the moment when

sang "Move On" at Sondheim's 80th Bday celebration, & Bernadette squeezes her heart on "I would be so pleased." We did THAT.

The Broadway lights are getting ready to dim for Stephen Sondheim. Right now, the Imperial Theatre has rotating photos of Steve, a beautiful way to honor his legacy.
They’re singing, “happy birthday!”

A month ago I went to Shake Shack & met Brian. He saw my Hamilton jacket & we started talking about how much he loves the SHO, but he’s never seen it in person. 🧵
The Broadway community really needs to step up our support for the trans community both on stage and off. We need more representation in roles and in positions of power. It’s critical to have resources available and in place to make sure everyone feels safe. We must do better.
When I saw

Tonight is the first night of Rosh Hashanah (The Jewish New Year).
Spending the day at the

is exactly the energy we need going into the High Holidays. Be loud in our support.
Trans people belong on Broadway & we need them to tell their stories.
I ended up not getting a ticket for anything this evening. Between the mask mandate being optional & Company announcing they’re ending their run at the end of next month, it’s a sad day on Broadway.

We love accessible art! It’s beautifully crafted, honors Jonathan Larson & makes me want to see a production of tick, tick, BOOM! in person!
@Lin_Manuel
When I saw the team today, they went to get Brian.
I said, “you’re going to see Hamilton tonight!!!”
He was speechless & extremely grateful. We both started crying.
Look around, look around, at how lucky we are to be alive right now!
This is going to be one of those moments we talk about for the rest of our lives. The Broadway community honoring Stephen Sondheim. If you’re able to be there, I highly recommend it. ♥️

Annaleigh Ashford as Mrs. Lovett is what happens when you let an extremely talented & funny actor do what they do best. A kid in a pie shop, if you will.
