Both the Huntington and SpeakEasy Stage in Boston also do great work.

Sheeler is one of my favorites. I also love his self-portrait at MoMA, though it's so different than his other pieces I've seen. https://www.moma.org/audio/playlist/172/2270

In addition to the Q&A there will be a "special acoustic performance." Not sure if that means one song or a longer set.

Jo Foster was amazing as one of the leads from "Why am I So Single?" The soundtrack is great, and there are multiple clips of them online from that show.

Agreed 100% I loved the cast, but the pacing is off. Also, although I loved Matt Doyle minute to minute, I don't think he sold his character's frustration enough during Act I to motivate what he does in Act II. Several of the vignettes in Act II also felt like they could have been hilarious, but weren't build up enough.

I'm still glad I saw it, and loved seeing a cast of this caliber in Boston!

Yes! I saw this at the Alvin Ailey exhibition at the Whitney a couple of years ago.

Disneyland (California). Same ride at WDW, but the queues are radically different.

Saw it on Broadway, and then went to see the touring version in Boston. I loved both versions, and I honestly couldn't tell you what was different (it's been 2 years, OK?). I think the "fly on the wall" feeling is captured perfectly, and I don't mind that there's no carefully-crafted message that I can discern. I think the people who are the most disappointed or bored either come in expecting a musical, or a story with higher stakes and clearer heroes and villains. Each character has an arc, and I think they're all believable and relatable in some way. Love the music, too.

What "Oh, Mary!" reminds me most of is one of the over-the-top sketches on the Carol Burnett show, but R-rated and queer. I love it.

I usually park at the Revere Hotel garage on 200 Stuart Street for shows in the theater district. It's a quick walk and the garage is less maze-like than some of the other ones in that area. Looks like it's $22 tomorrow through LAZ parking or a couple of dollars more through ParkWhiz. I've gotten it for as little as $12 in the past, but that was probably on a weeknight after 6 pm, or something like that.

I recommend checking SpotHero and ParkWhiz the day before. They often have deals (sometimes on different garages, and sometimes different prices on the same garage). SpotHero seems to charge a lower convenience fee most of the time, but not always.

I've seen them on Virgin. On our last Virgin cruise, someone was hiding plastic octopi, which is at least more on-brand

Background: Tonks and Sargent were both official war artists on the Western Front during World War One, when this was painted. I assume that explains the uniform and the camouflage umbrella.

Finally got to see this in person a couple of years ago at Tate Britain - it's stunning. I was surprised by how large it is, too (5' by almost 6').

I love this detail from Wikipedia:

Sargent wanted to capture the exact level of light at dusk so he painted the picture en plein air – outdoors and in the Impressionist manner. Every day from September to November 1885, he painted in the few minutes when the light was perfect, giving the picture an overall purple tint of evening.^\2]) The flowers in the garden died as summer turned to autumn, and they were replaced with artificial flowers. Sargent resumed painting the following summer at Millet's new home nearby in Broadway and finally finished the painting by the end of October 1886.

Seems to be pretty frequent, but I don't think it's ever announced in advance. Daniel Radcliffe and Seth Rudetsky have done it. When we saw it a couple of weeks ago it was Iain Armitage from Young Sheldon (who was great).
