Latin superstar Ricky Martin is telling a U.N. conference on homophobia that he wishes he could come out again so he could tell people struggling with their identities that “it’s just beautiful — you find love.”
Ricky Martin is saying goodbye to Broadway’s “Evita.” But don’t cry for him.
Backstory, Lea Salonga’s column on Thursday, carried the headline, “A charming Ricky Martin as Che Guevara.” It was about the 2012 Broadway revival of the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice musical, “Evita.”
Thursday last week I headed to the Marquis Theatre on Broadway to see the Tony-nominated revival production of “Evita.” I was with one of the producers, Adam Blanshay, who I previously met when he was working on the Broadway production of “Billy Elliot.” He had so graciously asked me to come see his newest show, and I said yes.
On its third season, “Glee” has lost some of the ability to surprise and provoke that made it an exciting treat for viewers in its first year. It’s also become embarrassingly obvious that some of its original cast members have become way too old to pass for high-school students. It is high time they moved out of the campus and into the real world of adults, where they properly belong.
