The Live Stream Of Stephen Sondheim’s 90th Birthday Celebration Concert Was Extra Dramatic Due To Technical Difficulties

Last night’s live stream broadcast of Broadway.com’s Take Me to the World: A Sondheim 90th Birthday Celebration gave all the Anne Hathaway types their lives, but it also shaved precious minutes off said lives due to a harrowing period of technical difficulties which can be summed up by the face host Raúl Esparza is making above. If the show hadn’t ultimately given us the cultural high watermark of Christine Baranski, Meryl Streep, and Audra McDonald in their bathrobes getting litty 2 titty while singing The Ladies Who Zoom, I mean Lunch, it might have been a complete disaster.

So, Here’s Meryl Streep In Donald Trump Drag

Since Donald Trump is officially probably going to be the Republican candidate for POTUS, expect to see every actor, comedian and famous trick do their own impersonation of him from now until the election ends, and even beyond that. Last night, it was 600-time Oscar winner Meryl Streep’s turn to smear Paprika all over her face and drop a dead ran-over guinea pig on top of her head to play Jabba the Trump.

Meryl played Trump and Christine Baranski played Hillary Clinton while singing a song together at the Public Theater Gala in Central Park in NYC. They sang Brush Up Your Shakespeare from the musical Kiss Me Kate. Clips ended up on Twitter:

I’ll probably be jailed for saying this about the world’s greatest Thespian, but judging solely by that blurry video, I’m not getting Donald Trump. I’m getting accidental toilet baby of The Penguin and Jiminy Glick. You know, now that I think about it, Donald Trump IS the accidental toilet baby of The Penguin and Jiminy Glick. So Meryl nailed it! As for the look, I’m not really getting Donald Trump. I’m getting grown-up Augustus Gloop after Chester the Cheetah blew a giant Cheetos dust fart into his face. You know, now that I think about that too, Donald Trump IS a grown-up Augustus Gloop after Chester the Cheetah blew a giant Cheetos dust fart into his face. Meryl nailed it all around!

Christine Baranski, on the other hand…. Christine’s Hillary Clinton drag is very, “I’m Christine Fucking Baranski and I’m not going to wear a helmet hair wig and some baggy pantsuit!”

Pure Glamour: Christine Baranski As Cinderella’s Evil Stepmother In Into The Woods

Here’s Christine Baranski with a fluffy cloud of luscious wig hair (it kind of looks like Nancy Reagan’s 80s hair on steroids) on her head while walking to the set of Into the Woods at Dover Castle in Dover, Kent, England today. This is the look from the top to the bottom and I expect that in the Into the Woods movie, the Prince drops that bland, boring, Caulifloweresque Cinderella and tries to get with this tall goblet full of glamour.

And today, disappointment IS Googling “gay ren faire porn” after seeing Chris Pine in costume and coming up empty in more ways than one.
