Once you’ve banked your vanity production of Yes, Yes, Yvette—what would be your first lump-sum, theater-related donation?

I would make any donation(s) requested by Audra and Stokes to hear them sing Wheels of a Dream, which I’ve never seen (heard) live.

Seeing the magnificent “Ragtime” in Toronto pre-Broadway remains one of my most cherished theatrical experiences. Not only because of Audra and Brian, but the late (and exquisite) Marin Mazzie as Mother singing “Back to Before”. Glorious doesn’t even begin to describe that musical for me.

Ragtime is probably my all time favorite theatre experience of all time.
And I’ve had a lot:
Some of my earliest- Mary Martin, Ginger Rogers, Carolina Channing, and (Bette Midler more re entry) in Hello Dolly. Lansbury in Mame and getting invited to her dressing room. Melba Moore in Purlie (I Got Love)
But Ragtime stands out to this day.

The York Theatre has had double-whammy bad luck: displacement from their theatre due to a flood and then the pandemic. And they persevere, cheerfully, professionally and enthusiastically.
I would finance a new space, built according to their specifications, and fund an endowment so they would be financially secure in future.

They just concluded an Irving Berlin musical that was the booster shot we all needed. They bring new musicals to life, such as Cagney and Desperate Measures, and revive old musicals that folks like us would never see otherwise.

I'd also buy out the theatre for Adam Guettel's next musical, invite all my friends and their friends. Reopen Rainbow and Stars for the after party with Jack Jones as the headliner.
