For those interested, the original story: https://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/27/style/modern-love-the-race-grows-sweeter-near-its-final-lap.html

It's being discussed in the show thread. https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/89465-breaking-bad Gilligan considered going a different way and giving it a darker ending, but everyone told him that would be a terrible idea.

Vulture has an article about the Jack casting. I thought this was interesting:

I came to post that, and I hope any fan reads it. Such a good article about someone who deserves the recognition.

From Vulture's recap:

Fosse/Verdon: Inside Ann Reinking and Gwen Verdon’s Unlikely Friendship Gwen Verdon's Boyfriend Ron On 'Fosse/Verdon' Is Based On A Real Person From The Broadway Star's Life

He can be seen in this trailer for a Gwen Verdon documentary, at 1:15 and 1:50. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYI2awNXn9g

For more details on Children! Children!, it was adapted to a movie in 1986 starring Christian Slater titled Twisted. Plot description on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twisted_(1986_film) The full movie is on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVlc87outaw

Vulture notes in their recap: "Peter Shelley’s 2015 biography Gwen Verdon: A Life on Stage and Screen, meanwhile, notes that the couple were married “exactly nine months” before James Jr. was born, which doesn’t quite fit the definition of a shotgun marriage, by the usual parameters of human gestation. Let me clear here: I’m not saying anything in this episode (including Henaghan’s implied sexual assault) is a case of questionable dramatic license on the Fosse/Verdon writers’ part. Nicole Fosse is a consultant on this show, and it’s possible Gwen told her daughter more about her first marriage than she ever told any reporter. I’m only saying that even theater geeks who know a lot about Fosse and Verdon are likely to be startled by what this episode depicts." From Vanity Fair's story: It sounds like this is coming from Nicole Fosse, who inferred it rather than have it be anything she was actually told by Gwen herself.

The link in the second post above (which came from the Schitt's Creek Instagram account) offers links to the song on Apple, Spotify and Google Play. Or here: http://smarturl.it/alittlebitalexis eta: Looks like they've updated it with Amazon, so there may be additional ones coming as well.

A little bit Alexis! There's still plenty of time left in the season--and Stevie as Sally Bowles and Patrick as The Emcee promise to bring great things--but as of now, that 30 seconds made the season for me. It's hard to imagine it being topped. Perfection. eta: Link to the full song! http://smarturl.it/alittlebitalexis

Me: Noah Reid is dreamy. I appreciate/resent the show's restraint in not getting him shirtless or otherwise scantily clad as they have the other love interests on the show. ::Patrick is cast as the emcee in Cabaret, a part that, since the late 90s revival at least, has been scantily clad:: Me: Well played, Levy.

Commenting mostly because I love this show and it needs more comments, when I don't really have anything to say but gush. Great episode. I could watch David and Patrick hug for hours, because I'm a big cheeseball and they hit me right in the heart.
