I am right there with you on all three!!!
Glick will be awesome. I'm excited for the whole thing.
The last time a thread like this started, I said I thought Chocolat would make a great musical. I stand by that. Call Me By Your Name could work, too. I'm serious about these two, but...
How about a Steel Magnolias musical? If they base it on the film instead of the play, there'll be more characters. I picture a production number called "The Hairdo Hall of Fame" and, later, a killer aria for M'Lynn at the funeral. If Sara Bareilles does the score, she could e
Last week (ending 7/21/19), Tootsie played to 75% capacity. The Marquis has 1602 seats. That translates to an average of 400.5 seats PER performance empty. Chances are pretty good that most of those seats are early in the week performances, which means a Saturday - matinee or evening - could be even sold out, and not look empty. But that also means that half or more of the seats might be empty on a Tuesday night.
So it is possible to see Tootsie and accurately descri
Disappointed, definitely. But devastated? If missing a Broadway show (even including any and all transportation, meals and lodging costs) is "devastating" how would you possibly cope with a real crisis? You know, losing your home, losing a family member to a cruel disease, or maybe a crime...
Honestly, the level of hyperbole here is ridiculous. There is no show EVER that is worth that level of anguish.

Outside of a controversial casting choice and a few people who are known only to people really into Broadway, a cast of mostly newcomers makes calling this "mis-cast" is a tad premature, don't you think? And since no one - not even the cast that hasn't started rehe
I’m in seat G1, same one I had for Kinky Boots, and it’ll be on the Windmill side. Hopefully this won’t have obstructions like you’ve mentioned - it’s the first row just after the cross-aisle in the lower mezzanine, house left...
Looks like in 1969 (and possibly other years, I didn't check), the winner of Best Musical -1776 - also included the Book writer, Peter Stone, who is listed as having a Tony Award for that show, as did the Music & Lyrics by Sherman Edwards, who is also listed as the Tony winner in those categories.
This is hardly a snub - for all the reasons mentioned above. PLUS, and this probably a lot more to do with it losing - this is Jersey Boys with blue jackets and a 5th singer. More of the same from the same director and same choreographer. That it was nominated at all is the prize here. Super slick didn't cut it this year. I, for one, and relieved.
And so what? It is selling like hotcakes and audiences seem to enjoy it. Awards aren't all that makes a show or its perform

I did not see "Bonny And Clyde" but I am going to assume her role was "gritty" in comparison to her normal roles. BTW - I loved her in "Bandstand"."
