William Finn Knew What He Liked, and Made Plenty to Love The brilliant composer/lyricist is remembered by a Tony-winning collaborator for his unique, unpredictable taste and his fierce but unassuming craft.

Today we're proud (if heartbroken) to share 2 memorial tributes to the late, great William Finn. The first, by his Tony-winning collaborator Rachel Sheinkin, looks at Finn's unique process, craft, and personality. www.americantheatre.org/2025/04/16/w...

It weeps, it bleeds, and each new day a gash
Is added to her wounds.

Is Shakespeare's Richard II a prequel to his Richard III? (jk, it obviously is) What other Shakespeare prequels would you like to see? Best terrible answer wins.
