“The Most Interesting Gay Stories to Me Are the Ones That Aren’t Necessarily Gay” with Frank Rizzo
I always love when a Gay and Lesbian Review (G&LR) contributor comes onto the ITBR, and you're all in for such a gay culture treat with theater critic for variety and freelance journalist, Frank Rizzo. Frank discusses his long career as a theater critic, starting in smaller newspapers and working his way up to larger publications like the Hartford Courant. He talks about the different roles he played as a journalist - feature writing, reviewing shows, and reporting on serious arts issues.
We discuss how the landscape of celebrity interviews has shifted, with the rise of social media and "influencers" making it harder for traditional journalists to get in-depth, personal interviews. Frank reflects on the importance of building relationships with subjects and the craft of writing compelling profiles.
Then, I ask Frank what he thinks of LGBTQ representation in theater and film, and he has so much to say! He discusses how the AIDS crisis impacted the arts and the importance of preserving LGBTQ history and mentoring younger generations. Frank then shares some of the projects he is excited to work on, including articles about the magazine After Dark and the writer Patrick Dennis. He also recommends several recent theater productions he has enjoyed, noting the enthusiastic younger audiences they are attracting.

Never make jokes about child trafficking. Yeah we have freedom of speech but that shows your a sick dude.
Ooh you are such a lost soul
Yeah like you host
Saw it 12/28/24. She is a powerhouse for sure. They’ll probably give her the Tony for this.
Pignoli cookies are elite
She should’ve sued the media for post false information
They ruined her Career
Golden Globe
Who’s Heather McDonald?
Omg. I had no idea I'm going asap.
Have a nice day and weekend too you
First
“I’m an expert on all matters fake and gay.” Translation: “I used to make out with other girls at bars and parties for male attention and no I will not be unpacking that.”
Heather also goes in and deletes negative comments about her. She’s notorious for doing this!
I’m looking at SBU and am glad to see the is video
Hope you find this helpful.
There’s a “gay media”? 😶
I watched both documentaries about Aileen. It broke my heart. EVERYONE either let her down after promising to help her or didn’t care to even try. If you treat a person like an animal they will grow up not knowing boundaries and/or not caring to know. She did horrible things and paid the ultimate price. They could’ve offered her life w/o parole like they do everyday to killers who were much worse. Damn. My heart still hurts thinking about this case. Kudos for covering this with great detail.
Aileen wasn’t the first female serial killer….. just the first world wide known one.
Where’s the original clip from i really wanna watch it 😂
I found the waving of the hand quite convincing
@@robertdierickx5299 And that means what?
@ivorytowerboilerroom sarcasm
In person is 100 times better. The audience gives her a standing ovation during and after. Nicole is magical as Norma. Can’t wait to see her again.
Pretty much every Marxist Democrat administration since Obama
Sounds like what Brandon did
Yes exactly the message is amazing and it’s crazy how some people dont understand it
Right?
love❤
This was a fantastic interview and your analysis of the text is as Maguire says adroit, but boy I would have loved something less than five ads interrupting the interview mid-sentence
Thank you so much for listening, and if you haven't please follow and share our TH-cam channel. I can understand that about the ads, but in order to offer these podcast episodes for free, I rely on advertisements. But, there's an ad-free version of each podcast episode on our Patreon.
It was such a pleasure having Dr. Andrea Sullivan-Clarke on the podcast!
This guy is a fake. He DID laugh about child trafficking and said he would rather watch the Barbie movie. He's an idiot.
SO EXCITED MIGHT SEE THIS TONIGHT
Ew
Did you see the movie?
Is the movie good??!!! 💖🎀🩰🎄
It was incredible. You need to see it!
Ok yes I just needed someone's opinion so thanks 💖
@@Isabella-q1z Let me know what you think when you see it!
@@Isabella-q1z Did you see it yet?
It’s just a play ….. nothing more Nothing less The book is a wholly different animal
@@jimrenner9401 I would argue that the musical still contains a message about overcoming adversity and standing up for those who are denied rights.
Anyone else really excited for this to be over? I don’t think there was as much talk about the election as there was this movie
Are you suggesting that this has been a long publicity campaign haha?
Too real
I think we need to stop trying to put the lgbtq in everything it’s okay that everything isn’t gay it’s literally an allegory for the rise of Populism
I just saw it twice last week and OMFG!!!! the people went crazy! absolutely extraordinary!
Whatever you do, don't look up the history of the Brown Shirts
I’m seeing this in April and cannot wait!
Dying to see this ! Obsessed ! Meanwhile, I’ve been going down a Sunset Blvd rabbit hole
sameee ❤
I had such a wonderful time chatting with Gregory Maguire!
I saw Rachel tucker not Nicole because I'm not a fan of her voice and was skeptical, so I'm not going to say this is bad not having the context of the show around it. But I assume y'all are hearing all the terrible choices and vocal weaknesses right? The way she says bigger is so funny and not in a good way
@@emhu2594 I love Rachel Tucker's interpretation!
It’s like she’s singing the words with NO vowels…
I can watch this over and over and over again. She’s the best. I would never have imagined it would be this good after I’ve seen the original movie and other productions. 👏🏾👏🏾
Voice for the ages👌
@@JimMartin-o4z she does nail it.
Aside from Linda Eder, she's a powerhouse! Yes, finally she's in her element. I cried right after this song, you can feel every emotion in this particular solo.... 1st standing ovation, one after another... have seen so many broadway shows... this has no fanfare on stage, no props, just black and white but you just can't wait to hear her and her male counterparts. Props to the camera people on stage... they deserve some accolades too!
You mean there are multiple standing ovations?
@@organboiYes after every song she sings there were standing ovations midway through the show history in the making !!!
You couldn't say this better!
This is exactly the clown type of people I think would vote for Harris. 🤮🤡🤡
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I'm NOT voting for Kamala
Lol.
Trump 2024-2028
Oh, the dramala will end alright.
OK, I have seen and heard her do this several times now and she nails it every single time and at the end of this number the audience leaps to their feet so love getting to experience this. She is absolutely amazing. Blows me away.
