Friday Link-o-Rama

Kitten on the keys:

• A sign of hope for new musicals.
  
• Shades of the Pigiron kerfluffle: L.A.'s Poor Dogs get called out by a Fox affiliate for spending city tax dollars abroad. The LAT comment thread is a hoot.
  
• The NYT hosts a surprisingly nitty-gritty theater-biz Q&A; seriously, there's some meaty stuff here, and not just for startups.
  
• Amen to the non-New-York-centrism of Jason Loewith.
  
• Shorter Michael Billington: Yanks are pussies.
