Proud of the ski community, which came out swinging in Vermont. Newsweek should be advised, however, that a Jerry isn’t the worst person on the slopes (a never-ever isn’t necessarily a Jerry for example) but someone who’s bad AND a jackass.

The United States is regressing to the ages of feudal lords (and edgelords) with the rich and mighty ruling the rest of us however they want with no fear of retribution, a population divided by superstitions, and sages and clerics watching impotently.

On the latest Marks & Vincentelli podcast, we talked to Bryan Doerries of Theater of War. It got a little heated at one point — don't worry, nowhere near Da Bomb Beyond Insanity. Hear it for yourself then tell us if you agree with me or with Bryan: marksvincentelli.substack.com/p/meet-the-m...

On their day off from "Death Becomes Her," Jennifer Simard and Christopher Sieber somehow found the energy to do "Pete 'n' Keely." It's a perfect showcase for their comic skills and of course they just killed last night. Behold, my review of the original production! www.petenkeely.com/timeout.html

I'm very much looking forward to the concert version of the Steve and Eydie spoof "Pete 'n' Keely" at Carnegie Hall tonight. The show was pretty much designed for hammy comic performances and this concert has reigning champs: Jennifer Simard and Christopher Sieber.

Plenty of space but this police car chose to park in front of the bus stop. Bonus: we have to maneuver over slippery chunks of iced-up snow to board because the car is blocking the cleared sidewalk.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

Stephanie Styles is currently shining in "Urinetown" at NY City Center. She's a proud comic soprano (possibly my favorite musical-theater type) and was the first-ever guest on the podcast to turn the tables and ask what our 3 favorite musicals are! marksvincentelli.substack.com/p/stefanie-s...

Viva Las Vegas, and Viva La Vincentelli, who landed Off Strip to write about a serious theater scene hard by the MGM Grand, the Paris and the Sphere. So much fun to hear about how theater happens everywhere.

Lincoln Center Theater is expanding its "leadership team" with the newly created position of "producer." I have thoughts about the seemingly constant expansion of management at big arts institutions; most of them are not positive.
