lol. Never change, r/Broadway
Reddit post “What would happen if an actor delivered their line completely wrong on purpose?”

Sorry for the weird question. I had a dream where I was cast as Orpheus in Hadestown, and during Chant, when it came to the line "The gods have forgotten the song of their love," I delivered it completely cuckoo. The only way I can think of to describe it is if I had just done a spongebob impression for that one line. It definitely was not an accident and it was not a choice that fit with the show at all, it was like intentional self-sabotage.

In the dream people tried to start a class action lawsuit against me for ruining the tone of the performance. I know that's not what would happen, but would there be any consequences? Would an actor be potentially fired for doing this?

Trying a new method for cutting up a watermelon in hopes it will help it fit better in my designated container. I feel like Pygmalion.
Half a watermelon, cut side down, on a cutting board, with a knife next to it. All of the green & most of the white rind has been cut away and the remaining pink part is intact.

Undated tumblr post by user stimmyabby:

Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”

and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”

and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.

Facebook post from June 15, 2018

I got into Twitter during the Arab Spring, and started following a lot of Egyptian activists, all of whom lost their mind when Egypt qualified for the first time in 28 years. So I’d probably be cheering for Egypt anyway. But I still can’t forgive Uruguay for the handball against Ghana in 2010 so they are forever my World Cup villains.

I just realized what a scene it would be if the 6-7 joke were around when Sweeney Todd was running.
Lyrics from “A Little Priest”

Todd (becoming aware, chuckling): Ah!
Mrs Lovett: Good, you got it 
(Warming to it)
Take for instance 
Mrs. Mooney and her pie shop
Business never better using only 
pussycats and toast
And a pussy's good for maybe six or seven at the most
And I'm sure they can't compare 
as far as taste —

I actually can’t believe Chess is back on Broadway and I actually saw it. Feels like a fever dream. It needs some tightening up but overall a huge success. I loved it and can’t wait for the rest of the theatre world to wake up to the supernova talent of Nicholas Christopher!
