This piece for @NYTheatreGuide was a fun one!

I love this essay @SarahRebell wrote for @TDFNYC about how women characters in musicals are rarely valued for their brains. A lot has been written about sexism in musicals, but not specifically about how working women are treated. It’s not pretty.
And sometimes a tweet turns into an article!
Thank you @ravensnook for encouraging me to think more deeply about why smart, ambitious women in musicals are treated so poorly by men:

Which musicals (if any) depict a man supporting and uplifting a woman for professional career accomplishments —not beauty or virtue— and truly meaning it? (i.e. he isn’t just saying so to get into bed with her)

When @GillianRRusso asked me to write a fun, upbeat piece about @TheTonyAwards by the numbers for @NYTheatreGuide, I came upon some pretty sobering stats:
No non-white woman has won a Tony in either musical writing category (Book or Best Score).
Let's hope that changes on Sunday.
The Tony Awards are this Sunday! Read our guide to this year's @TheTonyAwards by the numbers. newyorktheatreguide.com/thea…
So wonderful to speak with @NYNYbway's set designer and 2023 @TheTonyAwards nominee Beowulf Boritt about his incredibly eventful season, adding Easter eggs to sets, and being visited by Hal Prince's spirit:

'The Thanksgiving Play' is the first #Broadway play written by a known Native American woman to be produced. #TDFStages spoke with Playwright Larissa FastHorse and director Rachel Chavkin on why this show highlighting Native culture has become such a hit!

Thank you @TDFNYC & @ravensnook for the opportunity to explore how #TheThanksgivingPlayBway is a cautionary tale about education and why this vitally important theme resonates so strongly right now.

My latest piece for @TDFNYC:
Last night, @MTC_NYC's #Summer1976, starring Laura Linney and Jessica Hect opened at the Friedman Theatre.

An awesome article you should read that I didn't write (just edited)! I adore this interview with @KirChildsWriter by @SarahRebell for
@TDFNYC about Kirsten's amazing full-circle Fosse moment with @dancinbway. So many great insights and memories! tinyurl.com/2p89jyan
I recently spoke with @paradebway's @micaeladiamond_ for @hey_alma:
Micaela shared how the score reflects Lucille Frank's struggle with her Jewish identity, why 'Parade' is a feminist musical, what the show has taught her about antisemitism, and more.

In the Broadway musical opening this week, Diamond's Lucille Frank struggles to reconcile her Jewish and Southern identities, writes @SarahRebell. bit.ly/40dkZSB
This piece by @cashleelee is fantastic and raises some really important points about The Secret Garden.
I also want to acknowledge and uplift the original Ayah, Patricia Phillips, whom I believe was the only person of color in the OBC.
"This is not an Indian story, but it has things in it that represent India and are a little bit problematic," says Vishal Vaidya. "As an Indian actor, it just didn’t feel right to perform."
