UPDATE: THE RESULTS SHOW:

The gang sings along to Dolly Parton's classic "9 to 5." That hit film is coming to Broadway in spring of 2009, which should give Dolly another chance to score with that project. I'd say she was robbed when she lost the Oscar to...

Michael Giltz

A bit of a space filler, here -- a few very promising auditions, glimpses of Hollywood week (when contestants can play an instrument if they choose) and lots of padding. I've skipped most of the clearly bad auditions seen in part or full to concentrate on the 10 main auditions...

If you're visiting NYC with the kids and they have their hearts set on seeing a real Broadway show at a real Broadway theater, you're gonna have to do the right thing and camp out at TKTS (The Drowsy Chaperone was pretty good, btw). But if you're in town...

Let's not talk about theatre right off the bat, though we're headed in that direction. Let's start, instead, with the universal metaphor of romance, and the issue of putting out. Adults have lately lamented the adolescent sport of having sex on the first date -- oh, c'mon, it's not even...
