It was an honor to get to interview @TheresaRebeck for @TDFNYC. One of the most produced playwrights on Bway, she returns to the NY stage this fall with back-to-back shows about trauma & healing with "Dig" @primarystages & "I Need That" @roundaboutnyc.

This piece for @NYTheatreGuide was a fun one!
Thanks @GillianRRusso for the opportunity to nerd out on 1980s and 1950s pop culture in the context of @BTTFBway: https://t.co/zaghleZsx5

@ravensnook @TDFNYC Thanks so much Raven!!

[ravensnook @ravensnook]

I love this essay @SarahRebell wrote for @TDFNYC about how women characters in musicals are rarely valued for their brains. A lot has been written about sexism in musicals, but not specifically about how working women are treated. It’s not pretty.

[Sarah Rebell @SarahRebell]

And sometimes a tweet turns into an article!

Thank you @ravensnook for encouraging me to think more deeply about why smart, ambitious women in musicals are treated so poorly by men:

[Sarah Rebell @SarahRebell]

Which musicals (if any) depict a man supporting and uplifting a woman for professional career accomplishments —not beauty or virtue— and truly meaning it? (i.e. he isn’t just saying so to get into bed with her)

@GillianRRusso @ONeill_Center Hooray! NCI is the most intense, magical, amazing experience! Have fun!!

[Sarah Rebell @SarahRebell]

@juanmichaelii @REALJacSantos @kkassal @Theatrely Also, on a related subject…I’d forgotten how much of PIAZZA is in Italian. How interesting that critics don’t seem to take issue w/ “il mondo era vuoto” being in another language but KPOP got a lot of grief for doing the same thing - just in Korean, not Italian. #doublestandards

[Sarah Rebell @SarahRebell]

@GillianRRusso @TheTonyAwards Thank you! But also wouldn't it be nice if @TheTonyAwards actually showed ALL the writing awards on @CBS this year in acknowledgement of the #WGAstrike and the importance of writers?!?!
To quote @ITWBroadway, "I wish!"

[Sarah Rebell @SarahRebell]

@Vmarshmellow @smassellsings @AmericanTheatre I love this article (and all the people involved) so much ❤️

[Sarah Rebell @SarahRebell]

When @GillianRRusso asked me to write a fun, upbeat piece about @TheTonyAwards by the numbers for @NYTheatreGuide, I came upon some pretty sobering stats:
No non-white woman has won a Tony in either musical writing category (Book or Best Score).
Let's hope that changes on Sunday.

[New York Theatre Guide @NYTheatreGuide]

The Tony Awards are this Sunday! Read our guide to this year's @TheTonyAwards by the numbers. https://t.co/Td5VHLEJpc

@davidjchavez Thank you so much @davidjchavez! 🙏

[Sarah Rebell @SarahRebell]

So wonderful to speak with @NYNYbway's set designer and 2023 @TheTonyAwards nominee Beowulf Boritt about his incredibly eventful season, adding Easter eggs to sets, and being visited by Hal Prince's spirit:

@ravensnook So sorry to hear that you experienced antisemitism firsthand in Paris. (Though not surprised... I had a similar experience living abroad in Italy.) I look forward to reading your piece about the show!

[TDF @TDFNYC]

'The Thanksgiving Play' is the first #Broadway play written by a known Native American woman to be produced. #TDFStages spoke with Playwright Larissa FastHorse and director Rachel Chavkin on why this show highlighting Native culture has become such a hit!
