SPOILER ALERT: This article contains details of the season two finale of Pose. Not even five minutes into the season two finale of Pose and the emotions start stirring as it is evident there has been a time jump from last week’s episode of fun in the sun. Now in 1991, we see Blanca (Mj Rodriguez) and Pray Tell (Billy…

The wrenching (and slyly funny) Jake Gyllenhaal and Tom Sturridge double-bill of one-act plays, Sea Wall/A Life, has lost none of its intimate power in the move from Off Broadway to Broadway’s Hudson Theater, where it opens tonight. Aside from a late-in-the-show visual flourish involving the projection of a…

Donald Trump loves to mock the former vice president of the United States as "Sleepy Joe," but coming off a less-than-stellar performance during the last debate, Joe Biden was aiming for full Joe Frazier mode in the Motor City tonight against his relentless rivals with some Rope-a-Dope moves too.

The first night of the Democrats' second round of presidential debates of the 2020 election cycle was billed as a matchup between Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, and the two contenders did not disappoint on the CNN-hosted huddle as they faced The Bachelorette season finale on ABC.

Joe Biden wasn't mentioned at all by Elizabeth Warren and the nine Democratic dwarfs Wednesday night at the first debate. But today the former Vice President and clear 2020 front-runner was center stage in Miami and the man to beat. Even with Biden, a breakout by Senator Kamala Harris, Senator Bernie Sanders, the…

SPOILER ALERT: This article contains details of Showtime’s The Loudest Voice & HBO’s Years And Years. The former premieres on June 30 & the latter debuts tonight.

There were no big surprises or major upsets tonight at the 73rd annual Tony Awards, as Hadestown, The Ferryman, Bryan Cranston and Elaine May took the trophies they were meant to take, overt politicizing was kept to a few well-placed swipes, and James Corden oversaw it all like the Broadway-besotted pro we know him to…

When Terrence McNally’s Frankie and Johnny In The Clair de Lune premiered Off Broadway in 1987, critics saw a sidelong glance at the AIDS crisis and the toll it took on intimacy.
