- Tony Nominee Reactions - I have had the pleasure of covering every Tony Awards season since 2011 and one of my favorite parts is hearing from the nominees just moments after they find out that they ARE nominees.
- Theatre Queens - When I'm not at a Broadway show, you'll find me at home, catching up on the latest episodes of RuPaul's Drag Race. I've had a blast chatting with many of the queens who call theatre their first love.
- Broadway Jukebox - I love a good playlist and I find myself making them OFTEN. I've curated over 100 musical theatre playlists for BroadwayWorld (my personal favorite is "Female Anthems of Broadway"). Give them a listen and follow BroadwayWorld on Spotify to find out what I come up with next!
- Broadway By Design - I created this series after realizing how little information is shared about the theatrical design process and it has become one of my favorite ongoing features.

Cuban-American playwright and winner of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize in Drama, Nilo Cruz has joined the creative team of Asolo Rep's Hamlet, Prince of Cuba to translate the play into Spanish. Cruz's 2002 play, Anna in the Tropics, was the recipient of The Pulitzer Prize, The Steinberg Award and two Tony nominations. Playwright Eduardo Machado (The Cook, Havana is Waiting, HBO's Hung) was originally commissioned to work on the script; however, due to changes in the nature of the project as well as commitments to other work, Mr. Machado had chosen to step away from the production. Cruz will be joining Asolo's artistic director, Michael Donald Edwards, to bring Hamlet, Prince of Cuba to Sarasota and Miami audiences in English and Spanish. Edwards and Cruz previously collaborated on last year's hit production Hurricane, which premiered at the Ringling International Arts Festival. Cruz is no stranger to Florida, having grown up in Miami and even set Anna in the Tropics in Ybor City, a section of the Tampa Bay area. 'Nilo is not only a wonderful artist and human being, but it is thrilling for me to further develop our collaboration after such an exciting one on Hurricane. His connection to Miami, Tampa Bay and Florida is going to bring a highly valued perspective to this thrilling project,' said Edwards.
