not reviewing “Cabaret” but I’ll say this: Eddie Redmayne should be tried in The Hague. A tic-filled, borderline unwatchable fetishization of queerness with zero grounding and bleating Kermit vocals. We didn’t slap his wrist hard enough for “The Danish Girl.”

We have GOT to wrest the pen from virgins; too many musicals right now being written w/ a Wattpad understanding of sex. Think of our greats—sadistic dom Sondheim and no-loads-refused Herman—and consider implementing a body count MINIMUM for stage writing..
