Boy, do I like talking about theater! On WNYC, I'm discussing the dustup that's currently roiling the downtown scene with Time Out's Adam Feldman and PS 122's Vallejo Gantner. The discussion is actually far-ranging and we even touch on my feud with Leslie Jordan.
There's also Theater Talk, which airs on Channel 13 this Friday at 12:30am; and you can watch the show online. I'm revisiting the Broadway spring season with the Daily News' Joe Dziemianowicz, the Times' Charles Isherwood and Bloomberg News' John Simon. (Incidentally, I was sitting behind Simon at The Winter's Tale last night; let's just say it was an entertaining experience.)

Just read the Jordan feud story. How funny is that?
I respect John Simon's long record of smart criticism, but how to respond sanely to his apparent view that, for a woman, prettiness is everything--or, at least, a lack of prettiness makes her worthless. (Needless to say, I'm typing this having just watched Theater Talk.)
I know it's a heavily edited show, but was there more of a response from the other participants to his pulchritude-based criticism?
We were all so stunned that we were literally speechless. I know I was.
As for the Jordan flap, his hissyfit against me seems to have backfired. I wonder if he will respond to the responses...
