*Take Me Out* won the Tony for Best Play in 2002, and it is one of the things that Jesse Williams is doing instead of suffering through this current absolutely wretched season of *Grey's Anatomy*, and he clearly made the right call; [it got an excellent review in the NYT](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/04/theater/take-me-out-review.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). How exciting that everyone is out getting to go to the theatre again -- and, indeed, opening night got a pretty starry audience, including some folks whose faces we haven't seen in a while, as well as one face we're more used to seeing in *The Gilded Age.*
