victorian trans guy who goes to beloved local barber sweeney todd and presses half a crown in his hand and says “begging your pardon sir, i know it ain’t much but i was hoping you might tell my employer i get me shaves from you should he ever come around. only he’s been asking me how i keep my chin so smooth and i haven’t the heart to tell him i can’t grow a beard, so i might have told him a little lie, sir, and said it’s all due to your wonderful skill, sir” and sweeney todd goes “no problem. by the way would you say your employer deserves to die”

No longer interested in seeing Materialists after finding out that Chris Evans plays an actor who refuses to take film & TV gigs and insists on being a theatre actor ONLY, which means there's officially no world where I can ever root for him

Here is a list of predictions for Light in the Piazza:

Italian family has secret mob connections

The oldest son is illegitimate

Further mishandling of disability + Clara has a breakdown or incident in front of the Italian family

Husband back home is cheating

The children elope

Finding Nemo ending (“I have to let my child go”)

Srsly tho how does everyone keep managing to look at Sondheim’s shows which, more often than not, are written with an ensemble and intricate production design in mind, and go “you know what this show really needs? MINIMALISM”

Minor theater gossip: someone made a reddit post about some guy who was being rude and physically pushy at Ham4Ham and apparently dozens of people had stories about him being a nightmare at various stagedoors/rush lines. Fortunately, he was a beast at self promotion so everyone knew his name and where he worked (the Museum of Broadway, which he would announce as he shoved people). As the thread was gaining traction, he changed his instagram description from “Theater fan/employee of The Museum of Broadway” to, simply, “Autistic.” Anyway he’s been fired.
