When William Shakespeare’s Hamlet got a Broadway remake centered on a queer Black man in the south, people noticed. Called Fat Ham, the show broke records (and taboos) in its production. Playwright James Ijames won the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Best Drama, and the show five 2023 Tony Award nominations, which led us to Broadway to see it in May […]
Few things compare to a live performance on Broadway. But watching the same show in a local movie theater actually comes close. We’ve never seen a Broadway musical filmed for the screen, but when we saw Merrily We Roll Along released in theaters this past Friday, we jumped at the chance to head to the AMC Dine-In Mesquite 30 for […]
Who’s ready to Greek out? Uptown Players brings the hilarious roller-disco musical comedy, Xanadu, to Kalita Humphreys Theater from April 25 – May 4, 2025. Based on the Olivia Newton-John gay cult favorite, this delightfully corny show is a helluva good time on wheels. And to make things even campier than you thought possible, Uptown Players encourages you to dress […]
This year, we solidified a tradition: Going to New York City shortly after the holidays to binge on Broadway (and Off-Broadway) shows. When it was announced that Cole Escola would be leaving Oh, Mary! this coming weekend, we quickly booked tickets for the show during their second-to-last-weekend in the starring role and started building an entire vacation around this performance. […]
We love a great Broadway musical. Which is why we don’t love Into the Woods. Yes, take away our gay card because the music of this classic production haunts us—and not in a good way. Nails on a chalkboard in the pits of hell surrounded by a chorus of screaming, vomiting children? That about sums it up. But if anyone […]
If we can make it there, we’ll make it there as many times a year as possible! We didn’t realize how much we’d miss New York City until our two years away during the height of the pandemic. So we’ve been making up for lost time with two visits this year. It all started with a quick trip in February […]
What an exciting week! The arts continue their triumphant resurgence all around town and today, we have yet another example. Lyric Stage celebrates 100 years of the Majestic Theatre and its own 28th season by producing a 100-minute show featuring 28 of Broadway’s all-time greatest hits and past Lyric Stage fan favorites. (The math/numerology/theater nerd in us is so happy […]
Ever wonder what happens to all the sets when a Broadway show closes? Typically (and sadly), much of it ends up in the dumpster. Until now. When Jennifer Kahn founded Scenery, a company that upcycles backdrops and other ready-to-discard materials into accessories for men and women, the planet got a little less trashed. And a lot more fashionable. With everything […]
FOMO ALERT: If you want to see the Broadway smash, Dear Evan Hansen, when the touring production makes its Dallas debut in November, set an alarm for 9:55 a.m. right now. Because promptly at 10:00 a.m., non-subscriber tickets go on sale and it’s your last chance to snag seats to what will likely be a sell-out run. For anyone who’s […]
Put on your Sunday clothes, fellas! (Even if it’s a Wednesday.) Then cross another item off your Gay To-Do List with one of life’s essential musicals: Hello, Dolly! Premiering tomorrow night at the Music Hall at Fair Park, the revival stars the iconic Betty Buckley as matchmaker Dolly Gallagher Levi. It’s required viewing for gays of all ages (and everyone with […]
