I wonder if the "Road Vote" is actually as important as people act like it is. Seems to me that most years everyone knows what will win Best Musical before all the shows open and before tours are even announced. It's not like announcing a tour is gonna make it a better musical
I've seen two school productions. It's not a theatrical masterpiece, but it's silly and just stupid fun. It's best for middle schools to do perform it so they can dip their toes in Shakespeare.
To be honest, I would've put Kenita Miller over Renee Fleming any day. I adore Renee, but her performance is a bit bland and lost up on that stage. Kenita was flawless.
Surprised to see Carousel get into the Lighting and Costume Design Categories. Not angry about it, but I didn't think they were the strongest areas of the show.
