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?
First off, wow. There was a lot of missed potential for our enjoyment, but I guess this makes some sense business wise.
I'm not experienced in this, so how much will tickets go on sale for? Since this is obviously going to be a high demand event, will the prices start higher, or is it just a matter of getting them before they go? Thanks.
To be fair, I have only seen the Lincoln center live Production, but I felt much more connected, and cared for for Carrie and Enoch over Julie and Billy. Even with the divine Kelli O' Hara playing Julie the material just makes me not really care as much about Julie being happy as I did Carrie. This probably comes from a mix of Carrie being a more developed character from the very start (unlike Julie who we see get developed throughout the show), and Carrie having (I think) more stage time
There was a show off-broadway a few years back called See Rock City and other Destinations that had a road trip as a prominent point in the story-line.
The two best parts of an otherwise pretty dreadful show was Christine Ebersole appearing at the top of those pink stairs exclaiming "she's here", and Patti Lupone walking on stage exclaiming "It's so wonderful to be back in Manhattan!"
I must say this is the most excited I've been for a show, ever. It's always been my absolute favorite score (despite some people trying to convince me otherwise), and if done right can send out a serious message.
Plus this cast, full of some of the best up and rising performers (Joshua Henry, Jessie Mueller, Lindsay Mendez), and my god I hope they extend "You'll Never Walk Alone" for Renee Fleming. It's very brief in the show when Nettie sings it alone, and th
I hope and think at least one OOTI gods will get a nomination.
Featured actress doesn't seem too crowded. I'd save slots for Lindsey Mendez and Renee Fleming, one of the mean girls girls, or one of the frozen leading ladies depending how they are billed.
That leaves one of two open spots that I believe would first go to one of the gods over Lili Cooper in Spongebob (Who I thought was fantastic and would also love to see her squeeze in).
Not exactly in a neighboring theater, but I clearly heard Once on This Island while waiting for my car in between the Gershwin and Circle in the Square.
On the subject of TKTS seating, I got some for Spongebob (Great show that I would totally recommend, BTW), and they were OK seats. Second row in rear mezzanine, and had a railing blocking some of the far downstage action. Not to mention some people in front of us leaning on the railing blocking it even more. Nonetheless, It didn't dampen my enjoyment much and, I was satisfied with those seats for what I paid for, which seems to be the general consensus with TKTS.
