NEW YORK, NY - In a devastating turn of events, the 2026 Tony Awards have announced that they will close after just one dress rehearsal and one performance. “The economics of Broadway make it difficult for a big awards show that doesn’t happen on Broadway and is hosted by a pop star to survive. Plus, most of the audience are already booked with other commitments,” noted Tonys producer Leana Ghelpo, letting Radio City Music Hall know th

I’m tickled pink to be spending the upcoming year writing plays for prediction market platform Kalshi as a part of their “We Do This Now” initiative.

But while you’re gearing up for curtain, saddled with your on-theme but lazily named “Bloody Mary” house cocktail, you look to your left and notice your little is nowhere to be found, mama! “Honestly I didn’t know we let six-year olds come to this,” House Manager Leroy Laroux notes as he struggles to r
