Perhaps the gay couple would enjoy a trip to Mexico.  If so, they might meet up with some familiar faces.  Last week, Luke Evans and his beau Fran Thomas were joined by Jonathan Bennett and Jaymes Vaughan.  The foursome took photos together quicker than you can say “wife swap”.  But, in fact, they were in Cabo San Lucas for a weekend promoting Luke and Fran’s menswear line, BDXY.  Jaymes even sported a BDXY hat.  I believe during his Chippendales days, he did a routine to “You Can Leave Your Hat On”.  And so he did.  Old habits…

What if the gay royal couple wants something a tad more rustic?  Maybe even merge countries (I suspect lots of merging will go on during this trip).  Then perhaps New England is just the place.  And in the autumn, it’s oh-so-picturesque…if you care about that kinda thing.  And if you need something or someone to keep you warm, I might direct you to Frog Meadow in Brattleboro, Vermont.  It was a favorite vacation spot for gay internet laddie Davey Wavey – so much so that he bought it!  While Wavey has never struck me as the outdoorsy type, he has time to learn.  He doesn’t officially take over until April of 2026.

Last week, the Boston Lyric Opera kicked off its 49^th season at the Colonial Theatre with Verdi’s Macbeth – a day after the composer’s birthday.  The performance, conducted by David Angus, was pristine…a bit too pristine for my taste.  I like my Macbeth rougher…and dirtier.  The only thing dirty in this production were the costumes – and in the court scenes, I would have liked them a bit more pristine.  What can I say?  I’m difficult to please.  On the whole, the production was serviceable, while some of the direction clashed with the projected titles.  As Mr. and Mrs. Macbeth, Norman Garrett and Alexandra LoBianco were vocally committed if somewhat lacking in personality and bite.  Still, one left feeling it was a noble effort – and Boston is lucky to have a company committed to attempting such challenging repertoire in a classy setting.  More details on the season can be found on BLO.org.

In a recent podcast, Glen Powell admitted that he was a frontrunner for a role in Glee.  “One of my best buddies in the world is this guy Chord Overstreet.  We both auditioned for Glee.  We both auditioned for the same role.  We were both in the waiting room at the same time…we were down to the wire on Sam Evans, and he got it.  But, like, he’s still one of my best friends.”  Oh, but it doesn’t end there.  “We moved in together as he went on this crazy Glee ride, which was, like, kind of wild.  It was, like, pretty crazy to be around, because it was the biggest show in the world.”  Not a bigger show than if you had a 24/7 webcam in that apartment!
