Saluting the recent Times article on the obligatory Broadway standing ovation - "Chatting Is a Show's Best Friend"

 The reader-commenter reaction to last week's New York Times article on the obligatory Standing Ovation on Broadway makes this feel like a time to look back on when that subject was a Times front page article - at the time of Megan Hilty starring in the 2012 "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes."  

A cast's parody plea to save your energy and please post vigorously online - that chatting online means more than a standing O to their continued employment!

Recalling four years ago, when the meme of "I voted twice today" seemed to be on silly badges and stickers everywhere

For parody only: "VOTE - AND DO IT AGAIN" -
