The last day to see Ragtime is Sunday, August 16, 2026.

So sad to see it go, but glad so many got to see this supremely American show.

What makes it so good?

The husbands in Beaches the Musical sing a whole earnest song about how amazing their wives' friendship is. NO straight man, NO gay man, NO man on Earth would ever sing this. It's a song women WISH men sang. Caught, Iris. Full review → youtu.be/NQRt_cizhbQ #BroadwayReview

Year in Review: KYOTO

This Broadway for Bros review of Kyoto is biased, subjective, and yes, I think I deserve a Tony nomination.

Was I bored? A little. Was I confused? Even more than the movie. The new #RockyHorror at Studio 54 just isn't as wild and provocative as it needs to be. Full verdict 👇 youtu.be/wbtUBxsMp30 #Broadway #BroadwayReview #BroadwayMusical

Hot take from my new #RockyHorror Broadway review: don't try to reproduce Tim Curry — you'll fail. Luke Evans isn't trying, and that's why he works as Frank-N-Furter. 100% in it. youtu.be/wbtUBxsMp30 #Broadway #LukeEvans #BroadwayReview

Why is Rocky in a flesh-colored wrestling singlet at the new #RockyHorror on Broadway?? When you're showing off the beefcake, you put him in briefs — even RuPaul knows. Costume rant from my Bored and Confused review 👇 youtu.be/wbtUBxsMp30 #Broadway #BroadwayReview

Hot take: Adrien Brody's accent in THE FEAR OF 13 is technically correct and dramatically flat. Textbook Pennsylvania, no idiosyncrasies, sameness all night. The emotion lands. The voice doesn't. youtu.be/DYUwIXfO7PU

Hot take on THE BALUSTERS: it's great, but I'm tired of the old white dude automatically being the bad guy. Maybe it's because I'm one. But it's the obvious choice every time.

There's no Tony for Best Ensemble. After THE BALUSTERS, I'm convinced there should be. And Marylouise Burke as Penny? Give that woman a Best Supporting nomination.

By Act 2 of Beaches the Musical, Bertie is in a wheelchair dying and I am praying she rolls herself into the ocean so we can get to "Wind Beneath My Wings" and go home. They drag. It. OUT. Full review → youtu.be/NQRt_cizhbQ #BeachesTheMusical #BroadwayReview

The truth nobody wants to say about Beaches the Musical: it's a one-person vanity project. They replaced the composer. They did not replace the book or lyrics. If it ain't on the page, it ain't on the stage. Full review youtu.be/NQRt_cizhbQ #BeachesTheMusical #BroadwayReview

Direction, set, lighting, cast — all incredible. But THE LOST BOYS deserved a much stronger book and score to match its world-class production. Full review: youtu.be/C4jwR0fPjvc #LostBoysBroadway #BroadwayReview #VampireMusical

THE LOST BOYS opens dark and bloody, then ends comical and light. The tonal whiplash between Act One and Act Two left us thoroughly confused. Full review: youtu.be/C4jwR0fPjvc #LostBoysBroadway #BroadwayReview #VampireMusical

It took an HOUR before we felt any sympathy for THE LOST BOYS' lead character. That's dangerous storytelling for a Broadway debut. Full review: youtu.be/C4jwR0fPjvc #LostBoysBroadway #BroadwayReview #VampireMusical

This should be 90 minutes with NO intermission. Most rom-coms are 90 min - why should the musical be 2hrs 15min? Trim 20 min & keep it light! ⏰ youtu.be/qrpYaGFfXEk #TwoStrangers #Broadway #MusicalTheater #TheaterOpinions #OneActMusical #BroadwayReview #MusicalTheatreThoughts #TheaterStructure

Act 1: "They figured it out! This is brilliant!"
intermission
Act 2: "Well, that fell apart."
First act = incredible. Second act = all the cracks show.

🎭 Jeff Ross vs Billy Crystal's "700 Sundays" - both deal with parental loss but Crystal's focused approach works better than Ross's scattered storytelling. Sometimes less is more in one-person shows.

Let's talk about jukebox musicals! There are basically two types - and Mamma Mia falls into the trickier category. Here's why that creates some... interesting moments 🎭 #BroadwayReview #MammaMia #MusicalTheater
