Frank Rich Speaks About His Stephen Sondheim Encouragement, Gay Stuff

Editors -

Nowadays Times columnist Frank Rich is usually explaining Obama's agenda to the masses or championing this civil rights cause or some other issue. But first he was known for his theater criticism in the Times. This week he'll be interviewing Sondheim out in Seattle, so The Stranger's editor, Dan Savage, decided to interview Rich.

Jordan Galloway -

Some of you might best know Adam Shankman as the director of Hairspray—that one where John Travolta does drag in a fat suit—but I prefer to think of him fondly as the judge most likely to burst into tears on So You Think You Can Dance. Where he registers on your pop culture radar is really neither here nor there.

Third Times the Charm With Poe Burial

Jordan Galloway -

One burial wasn’t enough for Edgar Allan Poe or his fixation with macabre and morbidity. In fact neither was two. On Sunday, Poe was buried for the third time in celebration of what would have been his 200th birthday.

Phantom to Haunt Coney Island

Jordan Galloway -

More than 20 years after its Broadway debut, the Phantom of the Opera is making a return to his creepy, half-masked stalking ways in Andrew Lloyd Webber's long-awaited sequel 'Love Never Dies,' and what better way to pay homage to the longest running show on Broadway than by trying to recreate the magic of the Phantom's haunting of the classic, iconic Paris Opera House all over again at...the fairgrounds of Coney Island?
