Expression of the Day: "Scott Rudin with a maple syrup flavor"

 "Scott Rudin with a maple syrup flavor"--Canadian ex-felon and producer Garth Drabinsky. After being indicted in 1999 for stock fraud and serving time in a Canadian prison and halfway house, Drabinsky is trying a Broadway comeback with "Paradise Square,"  which is loading in sideways at the Barrymore Theatre (February 2022). Drabinsky was called a "seductive and relentless psychopath" by the OnStage Blog. One of the leads in the Toronto production of "Phantom of the Opera" referred to him as "Scott Rudin with a maple syrup flavor," referencing the famously abusive and now disgraced American producer Scott Rudin.
