Q&A: Girl Talk With Lindsay Mendez →
If you’ve gotten anywhere near the Circle in the Square lately, you know that the lovely Lindsay Mendez is blowing the roof off eight times a week in Godspell. We caught up with her backstage at Drew Gasparini’s gig at Joe’s Pub, where she chatted about all the important stuff — shopping, hot boys, and the serial killer musical that Drew is writing for her.

Story Time with Rachelle Rak: An Interview →
This past weekend I had the chance to sit in on rehearsals for the fabulous Rachelle Rak’s new solo show, I’m In, and afterward we had a quick chat. We dished about the show, her life in theater and, of course, that time she flashed Aaron Tveit…

Review: An Awesome Cabaret of Flops and Old Fogies →
Sometimes you do things for entirely shallow reasons. Like buying those leopard pumps because they look perfect with your outfit and not because you can walk in them. Or seeing a cabaret purely because Jeremy Jordan and Claybourne Elder will be there…

Overheard before the show at Matilda the other...
Mum: Go to the loo now, because you can't get out in the middle.

7 (or More) New Musicals that Will Happen in 2012…... →
A new year has begun, and we’re looking forward to all kinds of new things on the theater scene. Of course, when you’ve got your ear to the ground its easy to get excited, and subsequently dissapointed, about productions that never quite come to fruition.

WTF in a Good Way: Goodbar at Under the Radar →
The Public Theater’s Under the Radar festival is happening right now, and last night, I checked out Goodbar, a rock concert/opera about a nice woman from New York City who has scoliosis as a child, and who grows up to teach deaf children, and who reads a lot, and who trolls bars looking for violent men and ends up brutally murdered by one of them.
