Now you've got me. Looks like the things I would recommend will be closed by August. "Water for Elephants" and "Illinoise" got very good reviews, but neither was to my taste. The latest entry in the "Forbidden Broadway" series opens in August, but probably depends on an awareness of what's play

I'm no longer using X/Twitter, so I can't verify this for myself, but someone on Bluesky says that likes weren't literally made private, they just removed the button - you can still see them by adding "/likes" after someone's profile URL. This is about what you would expect from a site that run
