When Are Latecomers Allowed In At Cat on a Hot Tin Roof? I'll Tell You

Every Broadway play has a moment at which latecomers are allowed to be rushed down the aisle by the usher and scrambled into their seats to cause the least possible distraction.

Scarlett Johansson in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof: My Review

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is Tennessee Williams' classic 1955 play about the horrors of guilt, mendacity, lovelessness, sleaziness, disgust, and the closet as all that affects a Southern family in disarray. I've seen the play done in all-white versions and all-black versions, but the new Broadway produ ... More >>

Sean Penn And ScarJo Are Kaput! My Thoughts

​People reported that Sean Penn and Scarlett Johansson are no longer an unlikely couple. In fact, they're no longer a couple at all. And I can't say I'm wildly surprised.

Gone With The Wind Legend Is Now A TV Anchor!

​For some time now, I've spotted her on NY1, doing a smash-up job with the news, and wondering, "Where do I know that name from?" And I've finally figured it out! Vivian Lee was the female lead in the film classic Gone With The Wind! She played Scarlett Johansson or something. Duh.

Happy Birthday, New York!

Manu_H​Dear New York, On this date in 1653, you (then named New Amsterdam -- you never really looked like a New Amsterdam) were incorporated. You've had your ups, your downs and even that weird phase in the '80s when you got heavy into drugs and synth music.

2010 Tonys: Nominations Announced, Big on Idiot Material

​The 2010 Tony nominations are out, and the yearly ceremony that becomes more and more designed to persuade people from anywhere but New York City to spend money on theater is soon to follow.

Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson's Song of the Summer "Relator" Gets a Video

We woke up from some sort of obscure, terrifying dream the other night to realize that our abiding affection and love for Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson's improbable summer jam "Relator" had everything to do with Van Morrisson's "Glad Tidings." That the two songs are syncopated in almost exactly ... More >>

This Scarlett Johansson/Pete Yorn Song Is Actually Pretty Great, Guys

Scarlett Johansson, the musician, was last seen being loathed for Anywhere I Lay My Head, her Dave Sitek-assisted suite of Tom Waits covers, a project that was probably doomed (critically, anyway) by her incredible beauty and success way before it even got started.
