RIP Marvin. You’re in our hearts - and our heads, all day!

One… singular sensation… da dee-da dee-da, doo dum…..

nypl:

The world of entertainment lost a giant today as the great composer and conductor Marvin Hamlisch died today at the age of 68. We found in our archives in The Billy Rose Theater Division at The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts this image of Hamlisch during rehearsals for A Chorus Line in 1975. RIP 

Art is what you can get away with.

Happy birthday, Andy Warhol.

If you like theater, and theater reviews, and blogging, and sass, you’ll love The Craptacular. So you should be following them anyways.

thecraptacular:

We’re exceptionally pleased to offer a really fun Broadway/Hollywood (Brollywood? Hollyway?) prize pack to one lucky Craptacular reader consisting of:

• A copy of the film The Artist, which just came out on DVD and stars the exceptionally handsome and French Jean Dujardin
• Two orchestra seats to a show, courtesy of Playbill. This can be almost any show that Playbill works with, so this contest is open to folks who live outside of NYC*.
