“We should really look at them as role models,” Ms. LuPone said of the two tycoons.

“They were really inspiring,” Ms. Ebersole said.

“My God,” Ms LuPone said. “Regardless of what their personal flaws were, or what drove them — nothing that they achieved for themselves and then in the name of woman has ever been matched!”

Ms. Ebersole, more gently: “They paved the way, and started before women had the vote.”

Patti LuPone, Christine Ebersole and Broadway’s Friendliest Feud

If you always take it on the chin and wear it Nothing will change.

That's me, to be honest😂 No use denying it...

Every stage manger ever has quietly and nicely said, “NO EATING IN COSTUME!” 

And yet, there is always that one person who think their Chipotle eating ass doesn’t have to abide by the rules.

This is very inspiring😍

Best Piece of Theater Advice

I know that Sunday matinees are difficult to get excited for. But I want you to remember that this could be the last show someone ever sees. Their last memory of theater is what you give them today. It might also be someones first show, and you have the chance to share the love of this amazing art form called theater. So instead of whining into your latte, buck up and give them a performance of a lifetime.

That moment when you’re cast, in spite of (what felt like) a horrid audition.

[sparkling-broadway-blog]

I do!

I know it’s time to get over it already, but I miss Megan singing on my television SO MUCH.
