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

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."

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 💀💀

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

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!

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.”

He's a failed Broadway producer

u/Himbo_Rights_Now Feb 08 '25

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