Carol Channing passed away this morning and I am at a loss for words. From the 1985 Alice in Wonderland film, to my discovery of “Thoroughly Modern Millie”, to the 1995 revival of HELLO, DOLLY! (which I practically wore out that CD) - and the countless videos and recordings I watched of her in the original and other productions, Miss Channing was an icon in this little gay boy’s life and one of the reasons why I loved theatre so much. I may overuse this phrase, but she is the epitome of a National Treasure. Goodbye, Dolly...you will never go away from our hearts. #carolchanning #gayicon #broadwaylegend #hellodolly #theatre #tonyawardwinner (at Minneapolis, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsp9O9bF4yz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17qzsng40nqid

I didn’t think I’d get back to see @strangeloopbway again but I did! It’s such an emotional show. Triggering. Funny. Painful. @thelivingmichaeljackson put his all into creating this one and the cast delivers. Sweeter the second time around. #broadway #theater #musical #musicaltheater #lgbt #lgbtq #newyork #newyorkcity #nyc #strangeloop #strangeloopbway #tonyawardwinner #tonyawards #acting #singing #dance #art #blackaf (at Lyceum Theatre (New York City)) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChMsXRUuCKx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Kennedy Centre, Washington DC, November 2015. The first time I saw a live show by John Lloyd Young. What a spectacular evening. I met some delightful ladies that night and since. Now still delightful and friends.
