No release date announced as yet, but I’m thrilled at the news. MWRA was nominated for 7 Tony Awards (won 4) and is easily one of the best evenings I’ve spent in a theater in years. • Politico: Out political data guru Steve “At The Big Board” Kornacki will be leaving MSNBC to head to NBC News. • DNA Magazine: For your Hump Day enjoyment – photographer Luke captures the Muscle Violinist.
