    As far as I'm concerned, she should be able to get away with murder solely for having been forced to scratch and claw her way out of those tiny little bird-like pelvic bones.

    It is, in fact, true that you cannot work in theater if you've seen Twilight.

    (Seriously though, it's admirable that she's following her own path, rather than pulling an Ivanka Trump)

    @City_Dater: Ivanka Trump may not be treading unchartered waters, but I think it's hard to argue that woman doesn't work her ass off.

    I would, however, agree that no one who's seen Twilight should even be allowed to walk on Broadway.

    24 interviews over 4 months is a "staggering" amount? Try sending out a 100 resumes and getting NO interviews, as many of my friends have done, and then we'll talk

    It must be just the latest thing wrong with me, but I'll bet that I've known magazine editors who were half as cute and twice as mean. Last weekend 60 Minutes (I suppose it was) did a fawning memorial about their late producer Don Hewitt in which he was protrayed as one of those monster intern-eating drill sargeant editors who are fondly regarded only in distant memory. (And who wouldn't be fondly regarded at all were they female.) Like B Streisand is said to have said, "if a male director is demanding he's called a perfectionist. If a female director is demanding she's called a bitch."

    The case with Anna Wintour may be one of those, maybe? Dunno. I haven't sold anything to Vogue recently.

    I respect her a tad more now just for recognizing that what she is doing will be a challenge for her rather than assuming that since she is so great everyone will love her for it.


    Hard to see her passing for a boy, though.

    This opened already. I saw it last week, and the production was great. Seeing a production outside is rare, so it's a nice twist. Although, it was freezing cold, and started to rain at the end. (which ended up being quite funny, as the final song in the play has a lot of rain imagery)

    Fear is good! Show awe in the presence of Twelfth Night!


    If only because it was my favorite one as a kid (ok, having a favorite Shakespeare from your childhood is kinda silly - but it was the abridged versions for kids, back then).I even thought it would be cool to name my potential kids Sebastian and Viola, but later I thought, naming a daughter after a musical instrument is not such a great idea..


    anyway, go, Hathaway! as both Viola and Garland. let's drink to that...

    I think the American thing is a totally fair point, to be honest. I hate seeing the Brits walk away with all the Tony awards every year, especially for dreck like Billy Elliot.


    Also, God of Carnage? Crappy little French play made into something wonderful by fabulous American actors.

    @Perhaps Not: For some reason, fewer Pulitzer-prize winning (or even nominated) plays seem to make it to Broadway. If they could figure out why that is, maybe American wouldn't be shown up at the Tonys quite so often.


    Especially when real (American) dreck like Rock of Ages and Shrek are taking up theaters instead.

    Can I get a ruling by the denizens of Theater World? Is it sparklehands or jazzhands? Jazzhands seems to be the suggested nomenclature, and is used locally. Isn't sparklehands the retarded cousin to jazzhands? Sort of like the harpsichord/piano? Candlestick vs pin bowling, etc.
