Stephanie Torns is fantastic as Jenna. Saw her during Kat Mcphee's vacation, and her voice sent chills through my body. Her acting was great and she had great chemistry with Erich Bergen (although I guess he will be gone before Kat leaves)
First of all, wow. I can't even begin to imagine how strong Ruthie must be. This is really inspiring, and I hope she can continue to heal all that she possibly can.
Secondly, I know it's a stretch, but was anyone at the show tonight? I wonder how much of the London audience had any idea about the situation. I hope there was at least some audience acknowledgement, as she deserves that, and so much more.
I've always had a fascination with Carol Channing and her long history with Hello, Dolly! but one thing I can not find online is when her last full show as Dolly Levi was. I was wondering if anyone here had any more specific information past sometime in the late 90's. Thanks!
Actually, this seems plausible. Something happened between her last line and the downbeat of Motherhood that caused her to lose it. Oh boy, I will cherish that memory forever. Maybe the best moment in the theater of my life. (Only inching in front of the title number)
I try not to make these kind of threads, but jeez, Hello, Dolly! may have just provided the best theater going experience of my life.
Bernadette is at the top of her game. To see a legend up so close was something I will cherish. Nothing can prepare you for when she comes down those stairs. It's truly something out of this world. Supporting cast is all incredible (Especially loved Charlie Stemp)
Something happened on stage at the end of the hat scene and Motherhood tha
Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but when I was at Spongebob I got absolutely blasted with sound. Like, to a point where it was unbearable. I actually had to cover my ears for a lot of the higher songs and big orchestrations. It greatly lowered my enjoyment of the show.

Unfortunately yes. I've seen things like "Nobody even heard of The Band's Visit before the nominations came out." and even up until the moments before best musical announcement I saw "Well, at least Frozen, Mean Girls or Spongebob can still win Best Musical"
I'm having a gut feeling that there's going to be a 2015 Ruthie Ann Miles situation. I think more voters will go for Fleming than we think, and Ashley Park might take it.
My brain however, still thinks Mendez will win. My gut disagrees.
Very interested in some of these categories. Featured Actress in a Musical is one that comes to mind, and will give early hints to who may be ahead in the Tony race, Park, or Mendez. As well as best revival, which will probably go to one of the three Broadway production.
I read the Iceman Cometh recently, and totally adored it, and was wondering if it would be worth it to see it live after reading it (especially the current production).

Yes, if anyone has any insight on how easy or difficult this lottery is I'd love to know.
The most interesting race for me is the featured actor (musical). Granted, I've only seen two of the nominated performances (Stachel and Lee), but I thought Stachel was sublime in The Band's Visit. In a show full of spectacular and memorable leading and supporting performances (Wish Adam Kantor of Etai Benson got in over Gemignani, but that's beside the point), Stachel's stuck with me for days after. Lee was great in his role, but once it was over, I didn't find myself thi
Is the first show post-tony nominations usually more crazy (in terms of audience response) than a usual show? Might the nominees who previously didn't get entrance applause get some tonight, or is the general audience out of the loop on who got nominated?
