I go to screenings, then plays, then after-parties, then clubs.

A musical blast! Fun for the whole nuclear family!

By the end of the week, if I'm still alive, I get to write whatever I want about it all.

In '75, the year both A Chorus Line and Chicago hit Broadway, my head spun around and I became the ultimate theater queen for life.

It's not enough for me to cover theater, I have to throw myself around every other art form, and do so thoroughly and relentlessly.

For years, I've pushed the idea of a column compilation book mainly because it would be easy - I could just staple 'em all together. But publishers have been resistent, feeling the material dates.

I can't drive, so I can only live in New York, which is fine with me.
