So I watched Merrily We Roll Along on my trip to NYC and absolutely loved it! Jonathan Groff is absolutely perfect for the role of Frank. Also I could not stop staring at his ass the entire show.

 

I live in the Bay Area and watched the production of Galileo that's going on in Berkeley. It's been getting lukewarm reviews but I enjoyed it? I wish Javier Munoz had more songs though.

And just like that, we have a tight race for the Lead Actress In A Play Tony Award this year:

 

I'm still predicting Sarah to win, but genuinely would not be shocked if Legend Lange won and it would be deserved.

in the city this weekend and saw Stereophonic and Merrily! Really liked Merrily, the cast was great especially the main trio. I respected Stereophonic but it was SO long and a little light on the overall plot for me to say I really enjoyed it... loved the music in both tho :gaygacat2:

 

a solid weekend at the theater overall :gaycat4:
