She's criticized many entities over the years. So for the sake of keeping the coverage concise, I focused on the comments she made in the New Yorker article (which were many)

I'm so lucky to have been able to talk to you multiple times this season. Wishing you a wonderful Tony night

It also saddens me because all this drama is doing is encouraging people on the sidelines to gawk at women fighting, in a country when hating women and putting us against each other is a national past time. It’s all so unnecessary.

Maybe Happy Ending is the 1st musical about Asians written by Asians to be nominated for Best Musical. It's been a long road from the yellow face in The King and I to now, but I'm so grateful I'm around to see Asian stories be considered universal

Thank you for sharing. I do also think that “good” is also subjective. I’ve loved some commonly considered “bad” musicals in my time. You never know what will find a fanbase or be commercially successful, and those don’t always line up

Also when David Greenspan played a woman doing a David Greenspan imitation, I died. The layers. It’s like the BEING JOHN MALKOVICH of theater

The musical aspect also allows SINNERS to explore vampirism as a metaphor for cultural appropriation, which is so original and impressive. It is hard to find a fresh take on a 100+ monster but Coogler succeeds

Someone should program JOHN PROCTOR IS THE VILLAIN with THE WOLVES and DANCE NATION, because both are such spot on and empathetic representations of teenage girls, and how intense and hurtful yet beautiful those friendships are

And I’m sure it’s hard to raise prices to match the tariffs since the customers can’t afford it. It’s lose lose all around for nothing
