Reflecting on Alex Newell not getting the Tony nom  May 6 2018, 10:45:46 PM

OOTI is my favorite of the season. That said, I can 100% understand why he did not get a nomination. As (Insert Clever Name) said above, he was not something totally groundbreaking in the role. The bending of gender normality, yes. The performance. Totally standard. All the Gods were pretty standard and the one of them that DID stand out left the production so early in the run that it totally worked against her chances. That is not to say that it was not a fantastic performance but it was pre

OOTI or Carousel?  May 5 2018, 05:24:51 PM

Hands down OOTI but be prepared to have to make a second choice. The show is spectacular but even with great word of mouth it needs a big post Tony boost to survive. Sad really that such a fantastic show is likely going to close before some of the other stuff this season that can't hold a candle to it. Looking at you Margaritaville. But I digress. Get tickets for OOTI but be prepared to have to get a refund and get tickets for something to replace it should it close.  



Broadway Fantasy League  May 4 2018, 12:44:17 PM

I would LOVE this. It would be perfect for when my boyfriend starts talking about his fantasy football league and I have NO idea what he is talking about, I can repay the favor and talk about MY fantasy league.



Carousel Releases B-Roll  May 4 2018, 12:41:59 PM

I first saw the B-Reel this morning on my facebook and it didn't SEEM to have this odd editing like the YT video does but now I can't find where I watched it from on facebook to confirm cus MAN it's like watching a loony toons episode in spots.



What do you want them to perform on the tony awards telecast  May 2 2018, 02:27:44 PM

Frozen will likely do "Monster" now being that NEITHER girl got nominated and they don't have to try and play up one or the other. So they will go with an Elsa song to target kids watching at home. See Elsa, want to go see Elsa, beg mom and dad to see Elsa, buy tickets to see Elsa. But they will not want to do "Let It Go" as it's not unique to the show. So... "Monster" it is.

Both The Band's Visit and Once On This Island have used the songs I t


Will Frozen make it?  May 2 2018, 01:49:10 PM

CallMeAl2 said: "This still leaves two problems for Disney. First, howto sustain bothAladdin and Frozen together - parents will take their kids to one or the other. Parents will have a fondness for Aladdin from their own childhood. The kids will probably want to see Frozen."

Yes this is the real question isn't it? Which goes first? Aladdin or Frozen? And I really think that the answer to that is... Aladdin survives longer t


Who is closing post tony nominations?  Apr 30 2018, 07:04:33 PM

Summer is pulling in big money numbers for name recognition. I think it will be okay for a bit. At least the summer. Margaritaville, however, is in more precarious spot as it started looking strong but now that the diehard fans have gotten through it, it's not gonna get many others unless they shell out for a performance without nominations (because there is NO WAY it's getting a best Musical nomination) and that performance ups their advance, I can't see them lasting past the sum

If You Could Guarantee One Nomination...  Apr 30 2018, 06:39:30 PM

Not picking someone/some show that I feel it already pretty much a lock. I would want to guarantee Kenita for Featured Actress. I am hoping beyond hope for tomorrow to see her name. It's a pretty loaded category though and I just hope she finds place in it. If 3 Mean Girls get in and bump her out, that's something I expect to see happen BUT I will be pretty dumbfounded if Lea gets in for OOTI over Kenita who takes a role that I don't think many people considered to be a meaty role

Once On This Island v. My Fair Lady  Apr 30 2018, 12:56:35 AM

I am severely partial to one show over the other so I will not include my taste in this one.

My Fair Lady will surely tour. I would not be shocked to see it end up on Live from Lincoln Center. You will be able to see the physical production, as is, alternatively in time I am sure. It also (at this rate) will last longer in New York than Island. The opportunity to see it again (maybe not the same cast but the production itself) will likely be there.

Once on This Island, on the ot


Post Your Final 2018 Tony Nomination Predictions!  Apr 30 2018, 12:35:38 AM

Bwayfan292 said: "As much as I despise Spongebob, do we think Ethan Slater could pull out a win?"

Still the long shot but I think at this point it can be very possible that there people that early on were possibly going to vote Henry might turn instead to Paton and the spread could let Slater or Shalhoub slip in. Really I think it's more likely that Shalhoub gets it over Slater still but the chances are certainly better now then they were before Carousel end


HELLO, DOLLY! Sets August 25 Closing Date; Bette Midler to Return July 17  Apr 28 2018, 09:43:42 PM

Settled on mine at last and for way less then I feared it was going to be. Opted for balcony to save a buck and turn it into a weekend trip with a hotel (my Cursed Child tickets are the next day so just staying overnight rather than drive twice) but that's okay. Just being in the room is worth it and really I was expecting even the seats I have to be like $50 more then they are. Glad now that I held out to see who would take over the role from Peters. What a great birthday weekend I will

HELLO, DOLLY! Sets August 25 Closing Date; Bette Midler to Return July 17  Apr 28 2018, 03:03:08 PM

Scouting out tickets and I'm really a little shocked how many options I have. I keep feeling paranoid I am looking at something wrong because there are some pretty decently priced seats for every matinee I am looking at. She IS doing matinees, right?



Once on this Island - Seating Recommendations?  Apr 23 2018, 07:48:53 PM

AllThatJazz2: If I am looking at the seating chart on telecharge correct, you are in the first row and going to be RIGHT in the action. Literally. Your feet will be in the sand and you will possibly get to interact with some of the actors in the preshow so make sure to get there early to experience it as long as you can.

 

Really there is not a bad seat in the house... MINUS the 400s. As someone previously mentioned, there is a scene that is done in silhouette and the 400 s


2018 Drama League Nominations & Awards  Apr 18 2018, 06:02:11 PM

Wayman_Wong said: "No Ethan Slater for ''SpongeBob SquarePants''? I'm betting he'll get a Tony nomination and a Theatre World. ... Other omissions are probably due to the limit of 2 performers per show."

The thing that is most shocking of the Ethan Slater not getting in is... NO ONE from Spongebob nominated. So they can't use the "limit of 2 performers per show" thing here because it's not like they recognized two others


LABYRINTH musical adaptation in the works  Apr 18 2018, 01:36:07 AM

*Looks up to the sky* Thank you for pulling some strings up there with whomever runs the show, David Bowie, cus this is heavenly news! I have always thought that it's a PERFECT movie to make the jump to stage. In a perfect world, Bowie would have lived long enough to write additional songs for it or..... could he have? What if this was something in development for awhile? Is it to much to dream that we might not only get this musical but maybe a new song or two written before his pas

What show should my highschool do?  Apr 16 2018, 07:54:59 PM

When I think strong male cast of course Les Mis comes to mind but EVERYBODY does Les Mis. It could be something that with a big stage you'd be able to make an impressive set for. But let's see... if you are looking for some different, uncommon for high school ideas... what about Spamalot? Certainly has a large male cast. The set can be big and flashy. Tim the Enchanter usually flies in and out. It really just depends on how the school's population would handle the comedy of it and

What do you want them to perform on the tony awards telecast  Apr 13 2018, 07:34:17 PM

Been waiting for this topic to get started. Want to see performed and what they actually WILL perform are two different things sadly.

Once On This Island - Want: "We Dance" | Will: "Mama Will Provide"

Carousel - Want: "June is Busting Out All Over" | Will: "You'll Never Walk Alone"

My Fair Lady - Want/Will: "The Rain in Spain/I Could Have Danced All Night"



Way too early 2018 Tony Predictions Thread  Apr 12 2018, 10:05:43 PM

It's really a too each their own thing when it comes to Salonga vs Miller in OOTI. I don't think with all the promise in Mean Girls featured cast that there will not be space for them both. To me, while Lea's role might look like the more important role on paper, she faded very quickly into the background when I saw it. If I didn't know it was Lea Salonga, it could have been anyone playing that role and it would have had the same impact upon me. When it's not her one solo

What's your dream role or roles?  Apr 9 2018, 07:15:18 PM

Top two, Mother in "Ragtime" and Baker's Wife in "Into the Woods."



...JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR LIVE Discussion Thread  Apr 1 2018, 10:29:14 PM

Holy WOW that ending sequence was AMAZING! It was a perfect example of just what these live performances are capable of on a large scale. What am amazing PRODUCTION. There was no really bad performances. Great ones, good ones, okay ones, but there were certainly no Walken or Underwoods here. Certainly found the best overall balance in these production then in any of the past ones. Impressed overall.
