Is she finally campaigning for official mayor of the Great White Way? Assuming that’s the case, she has our vote. Read more…
The producers of “Hamilton,” a show that could well make hundreds of millions of dollars, on Friday bowed to pressure and said they would share some of the musical’s profits with original cast members.
