I once accidentally and luckily hired Anais Mitchell, creator of Hadestown, to perform at a small coffeehouse in middle-of-nowhere Ohio. Hadestown is coming to Boise soon!

The secret to enjoying the Vogue #tonyawards red carpet roundup is to imagine it under the headline: “Are you a real #theater fan? Test yourself by identifying these photos”.

As opposed to the implied headline, “we don’t give enough of a fuck about the theater to tell our readers who these people are or what shows they worked on, we’re just showing you their outfits.”

Last night’s #TonyAwards featured a performance from Kimberly Akimbo of a song that feels like an ode to #neurodiversity. It won my heart when I saw the show last winter, and I was so glad to finally share it with me #autistic and #ADHD family!

I can’t find the Tony version online so here’s the album video. The show is about a teen with a (fictional) genetic disorder that makes her age rapidly, so the lead is a 63-yr-old (now Tony winning!) actress playing a teen.

“I’m teeming with emotions, which chatbots wouldn’t begin to understand,” Tom Stoppard deadpanned in his #TonyAwards speech. “Writers are the sharp end of the inverted pyramid,” he went on. “Without a script we’re all basically flummoxed.” http://nyer.cm/XO6pfUA #press

Not me sitting in my couch weeping at last night’s DVRed #TonyAwards speeches. 🥹

Every year, this broadcast heals my inner-child and fans the flame of my dreams and makes me so proud of what this art form can do and be.

Solidarity with striking screenwriters from the WGA inspired moving speeches onstage at the #TonyAwards. Writers "are the articulators of our values and the search lights of our consciousness," pens Times theater critic @CharlesMcNulty #tonyawards2023

I may be in a very small minority here, but I thought the Death of a Salesman revival was excellent and should have gotten more Tony love. #tonyawards 🎭

LOVE everything about this...brava Lupita Nyong'o!!! AND it should not become a widespread fashion trend. If for any reason other than the fact that no one can top this look concept presentation by Nyong'o. LOVELY! #culture #creative #fashion #TonyAwards

Michael Arden won the Tony for best musical director for "Parade," a musical love story set against the real backdrop of a murder and lynching in pre-World War I Georgia. The show also won best musical revival. See a list of #TonyAwards winners:
