Third time at ILLINOISE. I cannot overstate the emotional power of this unique show about love & grief & community, crafted out of Sufjan Stevens’ album. Breaks your heart then refills it with joy. Only 5 weeks left to catch it on Broadway. My @THR review hollywoodreporter.com/lifest…

Co-written with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury, the dance musical is a transcendent distillation of youth in all its pain and glory.

First preview of FUNNY GIRL was thrilling. So much fun to finally have an audience reacting to the show. And they really seemed to go nuts for it. Look at this stage door crowd, and when I left there was still a long line waiting to buy souvenirs! I'm going to sleep well tonight.

Hey, I've wanted to write this story forever as I've long been dazzled by understudies and swings. Didn't expect it to be quite so topical: nytimes.com/2021/12/24/theat…

As Omicron spreads, shows are relying on replacement actors more than ever. And productions without enough of them have had to cancel performances.
