Time Out New York theater editor and critic, Drama Critics' Circle president, Duplex addict, recalcitrant humanist, recovering blue-check, wiseacre. Be gentle.
NEW: My review of Broadway's Pirates! The Penzance Musical (★★★★)—to be sung, if you dare, to the tune of you-know-what timeout.com/newyork/theate…
I don’t dine out very often but I went to ABC Kitchen this week and had an absolutely killer meal: peekytoe crab toast, yellowfin tuna tartare with yuzu dressing, fried chicken and chard with habanero butter, mashed potatoes and a mini cherry pie. Couldn’t have been more pleased.
AI containment strategies: Facebook: Every time I see a sappy inspirational story or fake photo or history lesson, I block the source account. Google: Every time I search, I add “not AI” to avoid the Google AI response. These two things are making me just a little bit saner.
Hey computer-savvy friends! The new iMacs top out at 25” so I was thinking of buying an Apple Mini and hooking it up to a larger display monitor purchased separately. Is there any disadvantage to this? And/or are there any monitors you’d recommend? All advice welcome!
I haven’t loved Louisa Jacobson on The Gilded Age but I’m happy to say that I saw her tonight in Trophy Boys at MCC Theater and she was just terrific. It took me a minute to even recognize her.
Self-identified leftists who ONLY attack Democrats are insufferable people as a rule.
Flashback to the best TV moment of the 2010s
I have a deep affection for outrageously ornate old New York buildings like the Alwyn Court (on Seventh Avenue at W 58th)
Colbert and 60 Minutes were the only two shows I ever watched on CBS. I’m done now. I am cancelling my subscription to Paramount+ and urge everyone to do the same.
Stephen Miller has been a sociopath for most of his life Wild that ABC fired @TerryMoran for simply stating that this person is a world-class hater
Stephen Miller: “Torture is a celebration of human life and dignity.” Leaked video shows the current White House Chief of Staff at 17, describing the torture of Iraqis in gruesome detail as the group erupts in laughter.
Breaking: Gypsy will close on August 17. If you haven’t seen it yet, go see it. A staggering work of art. timeout.com/newyork/theate…
Carrie’s downstairs British lodger Jonathan Cake must REALLY want to sleep with her because why else would he pretend her novel isn’t total garbage #AndJustLikeThat
I would like to formally admit that I was wrong about Gladys
I’m grateful for The Gilded Age’s cavalcade of theater royalty—bedecked in geegaws, yet!—but I wish they’d stop pretending we care about Gladys or Marian or any of the servants and just give us the Mrs. Fish content we crave
These are real tweets today by #Grok, Elon Musk’s AI, in response to a fake tweet by a fake leftist activist named “Cindy Steinberg.” Unbelievable.
Serious props to whoever hired a skywriter to put SURRENDER DOROTHY over Fire Island today
