Golden Globes 2021: This Party Could Have Been an Email
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler said it all as they kicked off the 2021 Golden Globes : “Could this whole night have been an email? Yes.” This was the Zoom edition of the Globes: Tina was in New York’s Rainbow Room, Poehler was in L.A. at the Beverly Hilton. But unfortunately, that takes a toll on the whole point of this gala, which is cramming a Hollywood hotel room full of stars, plying them with free booze, and letting hilarity ensue. As the hosts quipped last night, it’s always a tipsy mess (“Meryl Streep, just hammered, can’t remember what movie she’s there for”) and that’s exactly why we watch. Tina said it best: “These bitches are messy. ” Fey and Poehler are the greatest award-show hosts of all time, ever since they made the Golden Globes their personal bash with their three-year run starting in 2013. But they couldn’t salvage this year’s awful show. It wasn’t messy in the “Jaqueline Bisset gets lost wandering up to the stage” sense, or the “Margaret Cho plays a Korean … [Read more...] about Golden Globes 2021: This Party Could Have Been an Email

‘Rent’ Releases Rare Jonathan Larson Demos in Honor of 25th Anniversary
Before there was Be More Chill, before there was Spring Awakening, before teens were swiping on purple eyeliner and lipsynching to Beetlejuice’ s “Dead Mom” on TikTok, there was Rent. The iconic rock musical was a multicultural paean to the lives of impoverished musicians, filmmakers, philosopher-poets, kinksters, runaways, and junkies struggling to survive in the then-squalid Alphabet City area of Manhattan’s East Village, against the backdrop of the HIV / AIDS crisis. Written by Jonathan Larson, who tragically died before Rent opened to widespread acclaim off- Broadway , the musical was revolutionary for not only depicting, but celebrating, the lives of marginalized youth who had never before had their stories told on Broadway, winning multiple Tonys and a Pulitzer, catapulting songs like “Seasons of Love” and “La Vie Boheme” into the zeitgeist and kickstarting the careers of Anthony Rapp, Idina Menzel, Taye Diggs, and Jesse L. Martin. Related Stories … [Read more...] about ‘Rent’ Releases Rare Jonathan Larson Demos in Honor of 25th Anniversary
