Wait in the Wings

A documentary series for those who love musicals and those who know nothing about them. New video on the history of CHESS the Musical ⬇️⬇️⬇️

In the early 1980s, CHESS was poised to be the next big thing. But things didn’t play out quite as expected.

This is a story of high stakes, high tension, and ticking clocks.

But above all else, this is a story about CHESS.

If I had a nickel for every time this style of chandelier showed up in a musical with singing Russians at the Imperial Theater, I’d have two nickels…which isn’t that much but it’s weird it happened twice.

Part of M3gan 2.0 is basically Phantom of the Opera with a robot, and I’m so here for it.

Spent the morning spreading the good word about F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1923 flop play “The Vegetable” at the 17th annual Fitzgerald Conference!

So honored to play a tiny role in Julianna presenting her scholarship on how this unknown play led to the Great Gatsby.
