Jesus Christ Superstar: Chicago Lyric Opera May 9

Wait, is this the production that’s touring? I thought the tour was completely independent of this production.
Lack of transparency and selective moderation have been issues on this board for years. The Patti Murin episode was especially troubling, as we got to see the BWW administrators appear out of the blue for about a week to suddenly start "moderating" posts, as the leadership of this site cowered to the demands of a whiny woman who didn't like that her performances weren't well-received here. Sadly, the incident chased away a lot of the posters that had real kn
2018 Tonys Party Food Ideas May 5

My friend and I were just having this very discussion as we start planning our party!
So far we have chocolate bon bons from My Fair Lady, cheese fries from Mean Girls, these Spongebob Rice Krispies treats we found on Pinterest, a tropical cocktail for Once On This Island, clams from Carousel, some sort of frozen dessert novelty for Frozen, and Bertie Botts every flavor beans for Harry Potter (living in Orlando makes those easily accessible.)
No Tony Award Tickets this year May 1

The cheaper tickets, as you can probably guess, go VERY quickly, and it’s one of those situations where you need to be at a computer ready to go the second they go on sale and then just try to click as quickly as you can.
Was there really such a dearth of possible nominees in Leading Actor in a Musical that they could only muster up 4 nominees? They must have really wanted to keep some people out!
Nick Jonas couldn't sell the last revival, which wasn't even that long ago. There's no way any commercial producer is going to open a revival of this show with Skyler Astin in the lead, however talented he may.
I agree with ljay. There is absolutely no chance this production moves to Broadway, where it would likely be less successful than the KC transfers of Ragtime, Sideshow, Follies, all of which lost money.
I love it when awards for art are given out with ethical intentions. Apr 29

This...isn’t new information. It’s been this way as long as there’s been awards, long before the internet and social media. That article doesn’t break any new ground, and I feel like a variation of it gets written every year.
I'm sure Lauren Ambrose can take solace in the fact that Kelli O'Hara was also snubbed at the Drama Desk Awards a couple of years ago, and we all know how that turned out.
These nominees are laughable...no HP for set design? Carousel receiving more nominations that My Fair Lady? HP, the likely Best Play winner at the Tonys, getting shut out of that category? The OCC awards actually have more credibility at this point, and that's saying something.
Gender Based Awards? Apr 25

My main worry would be that they would just award males at a disproportionately high rate (look what happens in Best Director).

On another note, assuming the Cursed Child score is deemed eligible for the Tony, which score do we think they bump out? Mean Girls or Frozen?

LaChanze will surely be a contender for a Best Actress nomination (she won’t stand a chance of beating Lenk or Ambrose, however), and given the way things are going she’ll likely bump out either Murin or Louderman. My guess is the nominees will be Ambrose, Lenk, Kilgore, LaChanze, and then Louderman/ Murin, with the possibility that Mueller could usurp both of them if they want to snub Mean Girls and Frozen as much as possible.

I’d bet money she finished second for Chitty (one of the truly great comedic performances I’ve ever seen), The Royal Family (she should have won for this), and Follies (I love Audra, but I probably would have voted for Jan),
