It’s Tony Awards weekend and that means it’s time to post this incredible clip of the late-great Michael Jeter and the cast of Grand Hotel performing on the ceremony. He won a Tony for that role. He is dearly missed. https://t.co/Y3lftRYK9t

Reminder that the Tony Awards were created to honor the memory of Antoinette Perry, an actor who went on to direct 19 Broadway shows, in addition to volunteer leadership at The Wing during WWII. She is at rest in The Bronx. I paid my overdue respects with a visit last summer. https://t.co/yxQPh0O6ju
