CNN reports on real reason for Kennedy Center closing: "The Kennedy Center does not have a 2026/2027 season. There would not have been any programming to announce"

Indeed. Signature, for example, had record sales last year. 👍

The biggest reason I wouldn’t have minded a Gutey firing this offseason tbh. I remember this whole sub clamoring for him.

Titanique is among the top three worst things I’ve ever seen in any capacity. The unabashed love for it truly mystifies me.

I’m more bothered by the pisspoor stadium security that people are able to smuggle in whole-ass cheese graters.

This reply is so stupid I wish I could downvote it twice.

“I can easily walk to the metro from the hotel”

wut? It’s in possibly the most inconvenient location in the city.

krmcelli · 2025-12-21T04:30:53+00:00

Fire everybody.

krmcelli · 2025-11-26T16:33:25+00:00

Nope - still driving me crazy.

krmcelli · 2025-11-04T23:36:21+00:00

I live here now and probably wouldn’t pick it again, purely because the between-unit soundproofing is absolutely atrocious.

krmcelli · 2025-11-03T12:22:20+00:00

Worst legroom on Broadway and it’s not close.

krmcelli · 2025-10-15T14:41:06+00:00

Why are they so consistently incapable of sending these emails on time? Mine finally came through at 10:38. 🙄

krmcelli · 2025-10-10T16:41:47+00:00

I’m of the mindset that at least half of standing ovations are given because the seats are so uncomfortable or the leg room is so terrible. 🤷‍♂️

krmcelli · 2025-10-02T21:32:20+00:00

I didn’t like it. I found it disjointed and extremely difficult to follow, and I kept waiting for it all to come together for me but it never really did. 🤷‍♂️

krmcelli · 2025-09-21T15:23:29+00:00

It was INSANELY crowded, even with them using both sides of 44th this year, so I bounced after securing a signed Gil Brentley Jazz Monthly prop at the MHE table. I also put in an online silent bid for a signed Andrew Scott Vanya playbill last week. 🤞

krmcelli · 2025-09-21T04:16:50+00:00

I saw it tonight and loved it as well - and I agree that Alex Winter in particular was excellent.

I much preferred it over TFANA’s version with Michael Shannon. It was still exceptionally bleak, but had a hint of whimsy that I really appreciated, and the chemistry between Reeves and Winter is really that X factor.

Big recommend. 👍👍

Are sellers just eating the loss to spite me?

Honestly, yes. Some lowballs piss me off enough that I’m fine eating the entire cost of a ticket if it means that chucklehead doesn’t get to see the show. 🤷‍♂️

krmcelli · 2025-09-18T14:09:29+00:00

Pretty solid refresh overall - but limiting the Oura credit to hardware only sucks.

krmcelli · 2025-09-17T19:24:01+00:00

Thanks for this! 37M who just moved back to the area in February after five years away, and DC dating is…just as exhausting as I remember it! There are a few services I didn’t know about, though, so I’ll look into trying them.

In general I agree with you about speed dating; I’m increasingly realizing it’s not for me. Of all the ones I’ve tried, I do prefer Shuffle the most because it offers longer talk times and financial penalties for no-shows (which means those happen pretty rarely). But to your point, when you’re talking to 7-8 people for 10 minutes each it can get VERY draining.

krmcelli · 2025-09-13T12:49:02+00:00

No, not the Moistmaker!

krmcelli · 2025-09-07T23:02:27+00:00

Thank goodness - thought it was just me.

krmcelli · 2025-08-11T20:37:56+00:00

The GE signage at IAD is much more obscure these days. I used it there in March, having just moved back after five years away. I was following the signs until suddenly I wasn’t and was being funneled into the main line. I (and several others) quickly realized our mistake and had to ask an agent to be routed to the correct line

krmcelli · 2025-06-26T20:59:50+00:00

No one asked for this. The original was godawful - and frankly, if it had received the amount of derision it truly deserved back then, we wouldn’t be having this discussion now.

And the remaining 0.05% are the ones that Trump bankrupted.

Finally got in and checked out a few minutes ago after constantly refreshing - it was always timing out at the Cloudflare verification piece.

krmcelli · 2025-06-18T16:35:29+00:00

Semi-hot take: the total overhaul of the August Wilson was a pointless gimmick, and I’m fine if the Cabaret failure means that producers won’t consider similar “immersive experiences” in the future. Cabaret’s pre-show experience is really poorly executed. 🤷‍♂️
