Madonna slew at The Billboard Music Awards, arriving in an outfit that was giving me The Blue Angel, Sex and Dick Tracy flashes...and that was also giving me flasher flashes, considering she skipped pants.

BOY CULTURE REVIEW: ***1/2 out of **** stars

My friend Michael invited me to An Evening with Lucie Arnaz at the Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn last night. My first thought had been, "I wonder how expensive flights are to Brooklyn?" But I went anyway, joining him, Greg and Tom for a long ride on the 2 and a trip down memory carril.

The court in front of the theater looked a little bit like Night of the Living Dead, which I say affectionately; some of Ms. Arnaz's (Mrs. Luckinbill's—she's been married to Boys in the Band actor Laurence Luckinbill for 33 years) fans were inherited from her late parents, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, so are not as mobile in their seventies and beyond as Arnaz is at 61.

BOY CULTURE REVIEW: ** out of ****

The other evening, I caught Murder Ballad, a new musical living at the Union Square Theatre that stars Will Swenson (Hair), Caissie Levy (Ghost: The Musical), John Ellison Conlee and Rebecca Naomi Jones. This represents a second life for the work, which knocked (some of) 'em dead at the Manhattan Theatre Club's The Studio at Stage II.

The bottom line is that while the cast is killin' it, I'm afraid the show itself is offed by its own music.

Lady Gaga, looking hyperglam, served as "musical director" of the Versace show tonight, and apparently played a remix of Madonna's "Express Yourself" and her own "Born This Way."
