Tyne and Tim Daly together in a new Theresa Rebeck play! Gurney! KATE HAMILL (directed by Sarna Lapine)!!! Another stellar season from one of the most perpetually underrated theatres in NYC https://t.co/kENbnxukMZ

A testament to the strength of the theatre community. Look at the goal vs. what's already been raised. We come together in the face of such an overwhelming tragedy https://t.co/vtWDBZqRP6

Apple Music (and all streaming services) should really list the producers of every song. They're arguably much more important than the currently-credited features…

This would've been the funniest part of the Oscars (a real low bar) https://t.co/kZZJheqvaE

This looks absolutely insane, and I can't wait to experience it in person https://t.co/J3pYRJfgQW

YES. We need more spaces dedicated to melding different art forms. It's a mashup era! https://t.co/3urgPgDBDq

I've long believed that a candidate will win NYC if they pull a classic high-school move by promising to focus on resolving ONLY ONE unpopular problem: the subway! That alone matters so much to so many New Yorkers that it'd probs work. And now, this: pic.twitter.com/jZ5TRbxcv0

I have an insatiable appetite to learn everything I can about my beloved volunteer ushers, so this article is a freaking godsend (props on using the word lagniappe; I def needed to look up that one). If you want to afford more theatre, HERE'S YOUR CHANCE https://t.co/zd3cgOA3d9

If you're like me and want to know more, here's an OG article about them. Now how about someone make a documentary about these people? Or a play/movie/musical? Or a documentary play/movie/musical?!?! I'm thinking something like Annie Baker's THE FLICK… https://t.co/Nqv8Oj81GE

It's hard to finish an article when the first paragraph makes you black out from sheer excitement https://t.co/1UaDefIKxu

Also, did CAROLINE, OR CHANGE really receive a "tepid response"?! Or is that just Kushner's excessive insecurity? Or did I just block that out back when I couldn't tolerate dissenting opinions?! If it's true, WTF happened there…
— Steven Strauss (@aintnohero) March 7, 2018
And leave it to Kushner to come up with a deliciously-worded putdown of Trump: "the Babylonian mud devil in the White House"

Tony Kushner worked on a new book for HAIR that has never seen the light of day?! Who the hell do I have to pay to get my grubby little hands on whatever exists of it?!?! https://t.co/AG6xqNaBvi

If MARY POPPINS RETURNS is a big hit, Lin will probably become one of the most bankable writers in the world. NEVER EVER TELL ME AGAIN THAT THEATRE ISN'T RELEVANT!!!

Jen Silverman! https://t.co/mfZzWLbRYi

Another good sign for LA's ascendant theatre scene. Reprise! provided this musical-curious kid with living and breathing history lessons thousands of miles away from where Encores! does the same in NYC: https://t.co/Vj8N54dvyV

And and I’d follow Kathleen Marshall to the end of the world…or, in this case, across the country; she’s a good match for SWEET CHARITY, though it’ll be hard to top Leigh Silverman’s 21st-century-resonant take at New Group last season

By the by, is it still coming to Broadway’s Circle in the Square after Once on This Island closes?!
If this is true, HOLY $$$$$$$$$$HIT https://t.co/FuPYU8TiBd

It's also the first instance of producers stunt-casting the lead witches; they've been doing it in the supporting roles basically since the beginning of the run. Will this be their new plan going forward?

Also a pretty good way for Ariana to audition for the long-gestating movie…
