This little girl was born 3 days after my mother. She was murdered at the age of 10. My Mom just turned 88. Never forget. And never deny.
9 May 1932 | German Jewish girl Margrit Hedwig Steinweg was born in Dortmund. She arrived at #Auschwitz on 11 February 1943 in a transport of 1,184 Jews deported from Westerbork. She was among 1,005 of them murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

This was Trump's epic meltdown on 60 Minutes and it was even worse than reported. Trump literally ran away because he didn't like the questions.

Tears in my eyes. So stunning. I would play in the orchestra and melt when the brilliant ensemble comes on that Ooh and then obsess over that gorgeous last chord with the tenors sustaining an A. And we must all laud Stokes & Audra who are STARS.

Wow. This is amazing to watch again.The celebration after the Bway strike and I got to conduct the orchestra and REHEARSE ANGELA LANSBURY!!! Listen to that voice! Like hearing the OBC album! (I *think* you hear me singing from the pit the one time she stopped.).She was BROADWAY.
This performance of We Need A Little Christmas (featuring @StephanieJBlock in her full Elphaba attire and @KerryButlerNyc on rollerskates) is pure musical theatre madness and I love it.

1. PLEASE be outraged everytime you see a paltry sum of musicians referred to as an "orchestra". They are a BAND. This kind of mislabeling by respected so-called critics is one of the reasons we have lost full orchestras on Broadway. Cont.

In my opinion, we can stop this continuing destruction of orchestras:.The musicians union has to EDUCATE with live demos. THIS is the sound of a full string section. THIS is the sound of that same phrase played on a synth. Which is worth your money?.
