Thanks to everybody saying they’d like me to record an album. I don’t think of myself as a singer, more an actor who can sing. I’ll have to have a good think about this. Maybe i can do something. I’m flattered.

Jon famously had a pair of hi tops, ones he got rid of when Rent finally happened. I wanted to have something only I would know about. I wrote the character names on the shoes, got some of the cast of Rent to sign them. So those folks were all with me onstage. 📸 Karla Merrifield

Larry Kramer is gone today. There are no words. Larry was a giant among men. Larry changed the world. We live in a world that had to make room for his fury and his bravery and his glorious urge to keep us alive in the face of ignorance and bigotry. We owe him our lives. Period.

Reasons to love live theater, 422. A man of seemingly frozen detachment thaws by degrees into a bonfire of feeling (while emotively playing the piano!). A riveting Raul Esparza is Bobby the ambivalent bachelor in John Doyle's stark, elegant version of "Company," Broadway, 2006.
