Bo Burnham on Broadway soon plz!??!

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Big time Broadway guy too - he was in Cabaret. One of those guys who have been around forever.

Okay

I just took a long walk to have lunch. As I walked, I noodled and noodled on my Homeland comment (if it isn't obvious by now, I use that comment all the time.) How to give it context so as to not give the wrong impression? How to keep it short, given how complicated the context is?

Finally realized the power of the snark. Parentheses. Those communicate quickly.

Still needed more. Has to be short.

I sat to eat my lunch, and opened the book of essays I was reading. (I always read while eating if alone.) And there it was.

So. Would you be interested in being my editor for this project? Help me hone it? Get it succinct? (If you are interested, I have a great story about the Broadway musical Guys and Dolls struggles to be succinct. Came to mind when I stumbled on the idea of parentheses.)

Okay. Here goes. Let me know if you would like to help me get it right:

As "Homeland Security" says, if you see something, SAY something. (Meant to be read snarkily. Because here is the truth: As Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel said: "Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.")


It is still long. I'll have to copy and paste a long time before I remember it. But it provides context and I hope it communicates that you cannot confuse me with a Brownshirt.

Now that I'm at home with my headphones it sounds like "I'm going to throw a shoe at you, shut up".

Those off-off-off-Broadway audiences are tough.

Man, I would love to watch him in Once on the West End.

I'll settle for the Broadway traveling group in a few weeks.

Oh dear!

And to think he is opening on Broadway soon in Waiting for Godot.

He certainly has the bases covered, culture-wise!

Tyson had a one-man show on Broadway called "Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth". Not a musical connection, but a Broadway connection.

And I too am pretty squicked out by the showbiz rehabilitation of this rapist. Then again, at least Tyson served his time. I'm much more squicked out by Hollywood's lionization of Roman Polanski.

Awesome! I just got tickets for the traveling Broadway show in Seattle and I can't wait to see it.

But I have to wait until next July. Of 2014.

I was almost expecting to see him yanked off camera with a great big hook, like a bad comedian on old Broadway.
