If you're able to see this production, I highly recommend it!

I did not! Also avoided watching the video; wanted to savor it live first

But also this entire cast is phenomenal. I’ve always been lukewarm on GYPSY save for a couple of songs and now I think I love it. Long live live theatre

Truly appreciate the kind words! I have plans, but I am also a terrible procrastinator. So…watch this space. Indefinitely lol

Admittedly that aspect of the movie was not on my radar at all at the time, but after repeat viewings and hearing others explicitly point it out, it's now impossible not to notice

Common mixup, but Encanto is Disney, not Pixar (Same goes for Moana, Frozen, etc...)

And is the son of filmmaker Mira Nair! Kind of surprised in this era of obsession with nepo babies this fact seems to have largely flown under the radar (I don’t mean that as a slight towards him, to be clear)

He's truly just the worst; not even his role in the near-perfect BAMBOOZLED (where he's perfectly cast) or BEATS, RHYMES, & LIFE can make up for all the chaos he's sowed

This cast feels more like SURREAL LIFE than any other previous season. Not sure if that's a good thing!

For a movie so refreshingly forthcoming about the economics of dating in the modern era, so much about it remains in fantasyland.

I saw the movie two months ago and I still can’t get over Dakota Johnson’s character living comfortably, w/o roommates in Manhattan on an $80k salary (BEFORE TAXES!!) and without any benefactors (parental, romantic or otherwise) to speak of.

Pryor is so so good in this! I’ve never seen a take on the Wizard as raw and vulnerable as his

A touring production of THE WIZ was the very first live theater production my parents took me to when I was five, with Stephanie Mills reprising her role as Dorothy. (She was by then even older than Diana was in the movie!) So writing this essay feels like a bit of a full circle moment.

I grew up watching her. Really sad.
