TONY AWARDS SEASON
• New York Post Patti LuPone rants at a maskless theatergoing Karen. Never piss Patti off! (the final sentence in this article made me LOL)
• Broadway World weekly Broadway grosses. It will be interesting to see if the Tony nominations (which happened right after this report) turn things around for some of the struggling newer shows. For example, for colored girls, POTUS, and Hangmen all received some nominations but they have low attendance (under 50%) at the moment. Can things turn around?
• TFE ... the Tony nominations in case you missed 'em.
MUST-SEE ALERT
If you've never seen Sutton Foster on stage you might not know what all the fuss is about or why we bring her up so often. We've seen her six times and she's always fire and magic and laughs. What a triple threat she is. PBS will be playing the recent West End production of "Anything Goes" this Friday May 13th at 9 PM EST for their "Great Performances" series. She won her second Tony Award for this musical when it was on Broadway back in 2011.

You missed the other BIG Broadway story.
Peggy Sue -- what's that?
I know it was used correctly here (in regards to the entitled theatregoer), but I feel like the whole Karen thing has been distorted to encompass basically any woman who complains about anything. What started off as a way to mock a very specific type of woman has gone haywire and now feels quite sexist. Just a small rant to end my day haha.
Karens. I don't blame Patti for going off. Hate them bitches.
David - I agree.
My heart is leaping with joy at the potential theater-kid energy in that Chastain/Hathaway pairing.
Nathaniel, thanks for including the post about ANYTHING GOES tomorrow on PBS.
For other theater lovers, UK National Theatre Live is planning to air Jodie Comer's stage debut in PRIMA FACIE (now at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London) in movie theaters on July 21. FWIW, this lady just won her second BAFTA TV award for her outstanding performance in the Jack Thorne-penned, one-off early pandemic drama, HELP. And the reviews for her work in Prima Facie are stellar.
Thanks for your summary. It has a lot of interesting information. phoodle
