the actual best way to see beetlejuice on broadway is twice: once in october, with a beautiful cryptid you know who has made a two person sandworm outfit, and again in january with the same beautiful cryptid, because your tall handsome broadway friend was out sick in october.
highlights of the backstage tour include all of it, every bit of it, and in particular the sandworms which do not at all work how I thought they would.
Precious angel creature Alex Mandell is on as Jason/Tyrone in Hand to God tonight through Thursday. This is a thing you should see if you can possibly manage it, for real.
I would tell you to go see this show, but it is closed now, so you’re out of luck, suckers. I saw the second-to-last performance with thebloodybusiness, and we all loved it.

On Saturday, I bundled up and ignored my lingering sore throat and went to see two shows I was really looking forward to.
No Man’s Land was everything I hoped it could be, really just an absolute treat. I’d like to go see Godot as well, but I’ve kind of blown my theatre budget for the next month between these shows and last week, so it’s probably not going to happen.
Speaking of theatre budgets, actually, I have to say I felt kind of ripped off by the Bedlam production of Hamlet. I spent over $80 for a general admission ticket, and I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t four actors in street clothes performing in a bare room full of folding chairs. It wasn’t the worst version of Hamlet I’ve ever seen, but I wish I’d risked not getting in and waited for a 20at20 ticket instead.
Also: I really wish people who write marketing copy for these shows would stop using “immersive” as though all it meant was “the seating arrangement is kind of weird.”
Ever since I posted this my phone has been blowing up with people asking if they can have the Hamilton ticket that I don’t have because I turned it down. Remember? You learned that earlier in this very same tweet.
Last night was pretty much a perfect New York evening, the kind that makes me happier than I can say with my life as it is right now. And I don’t think there’s a better way to spend the evening of the 4th than at a picnic on the roof of the McKittrick, watching fireworks with friends & fellow drunks.
eleven years ago tonight! I believe this was the only 4th of july event the mckittrick has ever had, and it was also the first event held at gallow green.
