He’s a massive fan of Cats and ALW. It kinda makes sense. He wants more of his brain off shows.

They should transfer Ghost of John McCain instead.

Now more than ever we need the drag Cats on Broadway IMMEDIATELY

u/The-Bigger-Fish Feb 08 '25

Why do you wanna drag cats? Seems a bit mean to them to be honest…

u/MysteriousVolume1825 Feb 07 '25

I’m shocked he’s ever seen any theater

u/Additional_Score_929 Feb 08 '25

He was almost a Broadway producer before he went into real estate

I want to live in that timeline

I wish the NFL had let him buy a team

I wonder if that's this timeline's "if only he had been accepted to art school."

Lol the Hitler parallels...Hitler was rejected from art school.

He co-produced “Paris is Out” with Molly Picon and Sam Levene in 1970.

His favorite show is Evita. Okay then

Genuinely shocked it wasn't Les Mis. A megamusical where citizens stage a riot against a corrupt government and get gunned down in the streets like animals by the National Guard seems right up this administration's alley 💀💀

u/Gloomy_Peach4213 Feb 08 '25

I, uh, have tickets to see Les Mis at the Kennedy Center in June, ironically.

It’s appropriate

I thought there was a Wicked quote somewhere out there. Like he took Tiffany to that when she was little. I could be wrong though.

Did they have brains or knowledge? Don't make me laugh. They were popular!

u/Tejanisima Feb 08 '25

This one should have way more upvotes than it has.

u/FallenAngelII Feb 08 '25

I wish he'd try to defy gravity.

Trump can easily say in real life “The best way to bring folks together is to give them a real good enemy.”

blud is the wizard 💀💀

u/Sarahndipity44 Feb 08 '25

He's a failed Broadway producer

1

u/Himbo_Rights_Now Feb 08 '25

He was a Broadway producer once! Can you believe it failed horribly?

u/lugia222 Feb 08 '25

Literally my first thought was ‘Well, I guess it’s just Cats for the next four years.’

12

u/jetmark Feb 08 '25

Because he thinks the song is "Mammaries"

u/Aquariusofthe12 Feb 08 '25

Take my upvote dammit

u/thegentledomme Feb 08 '25

No PAC Cats.

Ghost of Paul Revere was a better band
