This is the day I take off as my "religious holiday" every year!

OMG, they hired Ronna McDaniel. Why???????????????????????????

Good concert week for me! Saw Rhiannon Giddens on Monday. She's so incredibly talented in everything. She plays about a million instruments (favoring the banjo), writes wonderful songs and does a great thing in keeping the history of Americana music alive. I'm still bitter that the Broadway show she was supposed to do was closed before she started. And that was 8 years ago. Saw Jon Batiste last night. He's brilliant. And Trombone Shorty made a cameo appearance during the show-they've been friends since childhood and happened to end up in the same city at the same time. How fortunate for me!! I'm still recovering 24 hours later.

This is the business I work in (not gambling, but handling athlete finances) and there's an incredibly high chance that Ohtani wouldn't notice any of these transactions. Not saying it did or didn't happen, but many of the athletes are checked out of that side of their lives. That's why they should always hire my firm - we're great! (Seriously, we are)

This is a show that I enjoy a great deal while I'm watching it and immediately forget it when I walk out of the theatre.

Okay, I know I shouldn't quote myself because we all know what happens when we quote ourselves... I was so sure that was a bit. That was a real tweet. Really. Oy vey. Good show and, as always, I enjoy hanging out here with all of you. Till next time!

Isn't it past your jail time? hahahahahaha

Jessica Lange is a goddess. I can't wait to see her on stage in a few weeks

He was near the beginning.

And here it is... with dancers. Why??????????????????????

I hate both of those dresses.

This is fucking brilliant!

There's nothing quite as funny as a John Mulaney stream of consciousness ramble.

That was a great bit with Kate and America. Haven't seen The Last Repair Shop yet, but there was a lovely piece about it on one of the NPR programs this past week and it sounds wonderful.

I'm totally in love with Jon Batiste. That is all.

I love Michael Keaton.

I enjoyed the comment comparing Emma Stone's character to Senator Scary Mom.

The only other thread in this category.

I'll probably skip the red carpet, but I'll definitely be here for the main show.

I thought ScarJo was an inspired choice for the open, and she totally nailed it. That bit worked way better than it had any right to. Also loved WU with no "guests". Josh Brolin threw himself into everything and the whole cast seemed to be having fun. I didn't dislike the show - it was fine. Kinda like the season... fine.

Wow - Mrs. Jost as scary Senator Britt. Nicely done show.

I have 298 at the moment. I kept them in the office because I wasn't allowed to have them at home (!!). However, now Mr. ebk has no choice but to let them in. So there! I love the Mr. Met in the London phone booth!! But, it's in May and I try not to visit NYC in the spring and fall because the hotels are soooooo much more expensive. This year, we will be there in early April because there's a play I must see and it's only running through May, but usually we come up in dead summer and dead winter. If anyone wants to get me a Mr. Met in the phone booth, I'd be really happy 😄

I have not seen it. It's another show that doesn't really peak my interest. If someone gave me free tickets, I'd think about it, but there are other shows I'm more interested in. I'm looking forward to your thoughts about it.

I realize I should probably put this in the Chit-Chat or work related thread, but I feel the need to tell you all that I'm retiring at the end of the month and today, I started packing up the 'heads. My lord, they're dusty... This will take me the rest of the month and I'm dreading it. Not the retiring part, the packing part.

Chicago is fabulous!! I really enjoyed Shucked - hope you do, too! As for the others, I've seen them all (except Life of Pi which I have no interest in) and love them and could watch them over and over again - and did since they were all at my theatre at one time or another. I hope you enjoy whatever you decide to see from that list.
