I didn’t see her in Chicago, but I hear she was much better. She was serviceable in The Color Purple.
Even if she acquits herself well here she’s not going to sell many tickets.

Looks like Elliott has another project lined up for next spring, so if Company is transferring they’d need to work around that.
Who's paying for this? I haven't seen/heard anything about any producers attached to this (though I imagine if Gag

You get to vote in their awards. That makes some people feel important.
"Original" Musicals Oct 22

In a number of years, there was always one or two acclaimed original musicals that ended up not winning the Tony- next to normal, Spelling Bee, and Caroline or Change immediately come to my mind, and I’m sure there are others.
The set looks exactly like a high school prom with the theme "City Nights" or some variation thereof would look like.

Sondheimite said: "Seeing as there is only one musical revival coming in this year (and it's a tired re-telling of Kiss Me Kate), it's a shame that they're not fighting for Company to transfer this season."
I was thinking the same thing!

I mean, as it relates to Mean Girls, 99% of the people seeing that show couldn’t care less if they see Taylor Lauderman or Tee Boyich, so I guess just don’t understand. Shows with a big star...I get that. But the rest? I’d love an explanation.
