I was at a movie once and upon sitting down my seat neighbor told me he had Tourette's and explained what would happen during the movie. I definitely appreciated it, less from an annoyance perspective and more from a just knowing what to expect. I suspect had I not known I would have jumped (his tics were more auditory).
If you're still really concerned after reading these responses you could also try informing the House Manager. I know Hadestown is popular and will be sol
I doubt it will negatively affect him getting cast. If anything it'll help him - he'll be more of a name and have more social media followers. Big Brother fans and casts are like a cult and former contestants get together for events year round. That's free publicity for any show he's in. But more than that, Tommy is charismatic and talented. His association with bullies over the last few weeks shouldn't and won't hurt his career.
I see your point Playbill_Trash, but I think what make's JMI's genie such a stand alone presence is not that the character was voiced by Robin Williams but that it was an animated non-human character coming to life. JMI and Casey Nicholaw had to work to craft the genie in a new way because of how we all have come to know the character. With Mrs. Doubtfire, it's comparing one human portrayal to another, and with the power of Robin Williams behind the original I do think it'
Santino was passable but largely forgettable in a title role, which does not a Tony winner make.
Brooks was the one thing I despised about the Prom. I found his performance to be exactly how I have seen him play every other role he's ever done - overly hammy and cringe-worthy.
Alex also played himself, with different colored wigs. In fact, he was too over the top and performs the role with this growl that makes it difficult

I would not say Tootsie's book is 10/10.
Yes, it is funny and there are jokes left and right. Best Book doesn't just mean Best Written. It's about the structure of the show. Hamilton won Best Book and it's sung through. Tootsie, while funny, is nowhere near perfect. The ending is atrocious and sloppily put together and a lot of other parts were underdeveloped.
Bonnie maybe, but in no way did Peppermint deserve a nomination.
And Head Over Heels will still mean a lot to people regardless of its nomination or award status, The truth is the show was not that great. It shouldn't be given nominations just because it is a show that champions the LGBTQIA+ community... it also needs to be good.
JSquared2 said: "Serious question for those of you on the "Patrick Page already has the award" band wagon. Besides being a well-liked Broadway veteran, what do you feel he is doing is Hadestown that is award-worthy? For most of Act 1 he sits upstairs and watches, then he comes down for Act 2 and signs a bitin a VERY LOW VOICE. What else is he doing on the stage that I am missing?"
I think you need to see the show again if all you got from his performa
