I hate to come back to my erstwhile blog seven months later with snark, but sometimes directors leave me no choice.

Hi, everybody! Been focused on a lot of podcast-related stuff, life-related stuff, and work-related stuff (this last is some really good news, but I’m not going to jinx it by spilling details; suffice to say that so far this good news has been overwhelmingly positive, and I hope it continues down that track), but I’m here — in short — because I attended a hot new production of Jesus Christ Superstar and remembered why I avoid most “exciting new takes.”
