Like everyone else, I am really getting tired of this particular winter with its "polar vortex phenomena" and all. That's saying a lot coming from a guy born and raised in the Adirondacks, where winter is what we live for. Still cold and snow THIS much gets old. So I am dedicating this month's Broadway happiness edition to things that, er, warm me up!
NEAR-NAKED BROADWAY FOLKS I: The Skivvies
File this one under "jealous of those of you who live IN NYC." I think seeing
The Skivvies (
Lauren Molina and
Nick Cearley) wherever they play would be so cool. And seeing
Nick Adams,
Andrew Keenan-Bolger and
Wesley Taylor (and, of course,
Laura Benanti) in their undies live on stage would really make my night...

PRE-PRODUCTION PHOTOS: Aladdin AND The Cripple of Inishmaan
You all know I love show logos... but I also love pre-opening production shots. Two shows that have really caught my eye recently in that department are Aladdin and The Cripple of Inishmaan. Maybe it's because I've always had a thing for Aladdin and Daniel Radcliffe...
BITTERSWEET BROADWAY: The Closing of The Glass Menagerie
I think this image sums it all up... a creative triumph gone too soon. Thanks to everyone involved.
