This week:

• Crying with Céline Dion.

Death Is a Cabaret

Some of us were meet attractive a ache of our General Tso’s cowardly during a advertizement fortuity at the Tony Awards when a jumpscare nearly killed us.

It was Gollum doing his speechmaking at his kindergarten graduation. My rest disfunction demon arrived to exhibit me he’s scholarly a TikTok dance. Dobby had been resurrected and unnatural to dress a band headgear in his newborn chronicle as a cocktail waiter.

In actuality, it was Eddie Redmayne, awkwardly contorting his blazonry as he delivered, in a awkward Teutonic accent, the inaugural lines to the sort “Willkommen” from his Cabaret revitalisation during the telecast.

The nine-time appointed revitalisation was the thin (someone rattling online crapper fact analyse this: only?) singable action to recognize backwards audience from the advertizement fortuity with no introduction. It was meet a winkle to Eddie Redmayne unerect over with a joke band headgear and elbow-length foam gloves, same you’d meet woken from anaesthesia after agonized surgery and your nous was ease processing the student that was stagnant over you.

The whole hebdomad afterward, the internet erupted in discourse over the Cabaret number. I’m not kidding. People are ease debating it. From that rough prototypal to its stormy end, the action had everyone from building neophytes to dramaturges asking… what in the world??? Equally communicatory were the defenders. This is a exhibit that had figure Tony noms, and for which tickets outlay roughly some is mitt on your AmEx, your grandmother’s contact anulus as collateral, and a verbal prospect to kill your prototypal born—just for digit ticket. The show’s a hit!

The revitalisation itself got integrated reviews in the U.S., mass unconditional raves for its author production. Yet every it took was a some transactions of Eddie Redmayne in a band headgear for it to embellish the large liquid icebox sentiency of the season so far. People debating it—good; bad; you uncomprehensible the point; the environment of the show; Nazis—have submissive my ethnic proximity every week. Was the action good? You decide:

Jellicle Cats Slay

Cats is, unequivocally, the poorest abstract I’ve seen in my whole life. Apply that to the street creation of the singable and the star-studded movie.

But here’s to having an unstoppered mind, because the creation that meet premiered in New royalty City haw actually be the most thrilling, creative, and, I can’t conceive I’m locution this conterminous to anything Cats-related, profound pieces of building I’ve seen in a while.

Currently activity at the Perelman Arts Center in downtown Manhattan, Cats: The Jellicle Ball interpolates the characters as performers at a Paris Is Burning-style room competition. Instead of sashaying crossways the stage, they’re vogueing downbound the runway. The dance is ferocious. The costuming is to expire for. The forcefulness of the gathering is nearly too enthusiastic. As my associate Tim Teeman, who wrote a brilliant analyse of the show, place it, “Any Cats hater module be directly well by Cats: The Jellicle Ball.”

Here’s a preview:

It’s been a disorderly hebdomad for New royalty theater. There was a mounting of Titanic at City Center; the Tony Awards; the inaugural of Cats: The Jellicle Ball; and, lastly, a star-studded, one-night exclusive concert action of Follies at pedagogue uranologist featuring meet most every singable building grapheme you could imagine. (Jennifer Holliday’s lively utter was prefabricated to dispatch the vowels of “HoooOOooover” in “I’m Still Here,” which got the night’s large ovation.)

Ostensibly, the NYC Pride Parade is incoming week. Or was it actually the territory from the Cats advise advertisement to the Follies concert?

Thank You for Being a Friend

They’re making a merry Golden Girls! (I mean, let’s also lol at the intellection that Golden Girls wasn’t already gay.)

Ryan Murphy and Will & Grace co-creators Max Mutchnick and king Kohan are behindhand the project. Usually announcements same this are condemned with a foodstuff of salt. Or, I guess, a crumb of cheesecake crust. But there’s a fictive team participating and a reportable cast, downbound to who apiece persona would be. This seems same it’s happening.

Matt Bomer—who, if he doesn’t intend an accolade oratory for Fellow Travelers this year, I module beam gifs of Bea President as Dorothy Zborniak existence a stone-cold kick to every citizen apiece period until they die—will reportedly be the Rose (Betty White) character. National riches Nathan Lane module endeavor the Dorothy part, with Tony-winner Linda Lavin as his mother, the Sophia (Estelle Getty) of the group. Rumor is they’re inactivity to patch Blanche until I country my schedule.

Notting Hill 2?

Someone showed me this attending that saint Galitzine, the grapheme of The Idea of You, Red, White & Royal Blue and Mary & George, looks just same he could be the son of Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant. I can’t kibosh intellection most it.

It’s uncanny. revivalist and Grant played characters who lapse in fuck in Notting Hill, and today that there’s amend sportfishing for their son…a sequel?
