I definitely remember this rumor. My first thought had been Kate Shindle, though now I'm not sure she would have wanted to jump right back on tour after touring with Fun Home. I'd love to see her in
My guesses, based purely on their age and how they look based on a google search, so definitely don't quote me
Beverley - Becky Gulvsig (confirmed)
Oz - Harter Clingman (confirmed) (also quite a young looking Oz but okay)
Bob - James Earl Jones II (confirmed)
Kevin T - Andrew Samonsky
Kevin J - Nick Duckart
Claude - Chamblee Ferguson
Nick - Kevin Carolan
Beulah - Julie Johnson

Has anyone stage doored a matinee recently? Going next week and deciding whether or not I want to attempt to stage door, but definitely won’t if the cast doesn’t usually come out.
I saw it on Friday night. I genuinely loved it, it isn't a perfect meaning by any means, but I think it was a great escape for the night. I'll probably go back.
The Secret Garden for sure. Also echoing Caroline or Change.
This isn't technically a revival, but I do wonder if Heathers will ever find itself on Broadway.

Yikes. From the tone of her Instagram it really sounds like it’s going to be awhile, if she even returns at all. I have tickets for August 4 and was really looking forward to seeing her again, but I’m excited and happy for Loren!
(Insert Clever Name) said: "There is a girl like this in the Come From Away fandom, she has seen the show over 200 times. She thinks she is friends with the cast and tells other fans not to send gifts to them. She blocks other members of the fandom when they get recognized by the actors. And the fandom is tiny! She says that she knows actors better than other fans, and messages the fan accounts of actors in the show, telling them to delete the account because the actor doesn’t

I’ve never really understood why after Elphaba says to Glinda, “it isn’t what it looks like” about having a relationship with Fiyero, and Fiyero says “yes it is” (or something along those lines, I’m definitely paraphrasing). The only interaction we saw of Elphaba/Fiyero is with the lion cub and at the train station, and it really doesn’t seem like Fiyero is interested in her at those times.
I think it was Louderman and LaChanze. Kilgore was a lock for me since the beginning of the season, it's hard for me to imagine even Mueller getting more initial votes than her.
Great Dame said: "I can't help but wonder why there's so much love for Spongebob and Mean Girls, yet so much hatred for Frozen when all are based on movies/tv. How can Frozen win Oscars, Golden Globes, and Grammys and get a total Tony snub as so many are predicting? That makes zero sense to me. They deserve best score and book, and they have a freaking shelf full of awards to prove it. Take Disney out of the equation and they walk out with both awards. Don't get me wrong,
WeTheNorth said: "Is Jenn leaving any time soon? She recently posted on her Instagram saying that she is rehearsing a new show called the The Suffragists and it will be playing at the PublicTheatre."
I'm assuming that since I can't find anything about the show, it's more of a smaller workshop/reading type performance? Hopefully meaning she won't have to leave the show. I could be completely wrong though.
Jenn Collela attendance at CFA Jun 6

She hasn’t missed much at all recently except for her vacation. Her standby, Julie Reiber, usually posts well in advance when she knows when she’ll be going on, so you should be good for Saturday.
I feel like I wake up every day with a new winner in mind for Best Actor in a Musical. In my gut, I think it will go to Hadden-Patton, but also Henry is pretty overdue for his Tony. I can't remember being so stumped about an awards category in the recent past.

According to my brother who was at the show tonight, Renée Fleming’s understudy went on in Carousel halfway through Act 2.

Lin was always a bit much for me, but I've never heard that he isn't nice but to be quite honest I'm not surprised.
linnamonrole said: "He has three Tony awards, like there is probably no other performer who has that many awards because then they would obviously be more famous than Lin if they did."
Audra McDonald, Bob Fosse, Stephen Sondheim, and many, many others say hey.
Also seriously, just stop while you're ahead. Lin isn't the greatest thing to hit Broadway, and based on what I've heard, isn't the nicest person in real life either. I think if you
