A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

YOU CAME AND YOU GAVE WITHOUT TAKING: I was decidedly unimpressed with the recent Broadway revival of La Cage Aux Folles, but a much-acclaimed British production is apparently making the leap across the Atlantic next season. That alone wouldn't get me there, but that the production will apparently feature Mandy Patinkin as one of the two leads (the Robin Williams part in Bird Cage) might. For years now, it's been an open question whether Patinkin is more brilliant or crazy, and it'll be interesting to see where this one falls.
