I have to say, I'd be heartbroken if by some chance it didn't win Best Musical. I saw it Tuesday night and have been playing the cast recording on a loop. I just close my eyes on the subway and let the music carry me away. (And yes, I'm a native New Yorker so I know when I can close my eyes on the subway.)
I agree with HeyMrMusic about Cromer. I just saw The Band's Visit and it should win everything. I just adored it. (Well, Tony Shalhoub wasn't there last night so I guess I don't include him.) It should definitely win best direction, along with best book.
I'm seeing it tonight, and while I'll be bummed to miss Tony, I've heard great things about the other guy. But honestly, I'm really just wanting to see Katrina Lenk. (PS If you didn't see her on The Good Fight this week, she's hilarious!)
I think he's very talented as a singer, but I do wonder if he gets any vocal training to be sure he keeps his voice consistent. The times I've seen him do his big number have been good, but not at all consistent. I just worry he's going to end up like Adele, having to stop and actually learn how to sing properly.
Has anyone seen the full company, including ensemblists? I've only seen on IG May Clayton and Reed Luplau so far referring to them doing the Boston run.
I don't know, I was digging it. Still not a huge fan of his casting, but I thought he sang it well and I was into the new arrangements. I don't want to see the movie on stage - I mean we saw what happened to Frozen - so I welcome a fresh vision. As long as they don't f*ck it up.
To be fair to McPhee, she does mention on several occasions that they spelled things on the prompter phonetically. When you're trying to get all that information out live, I'm sure it can be overwhelming. (I work in customer service, and I know when people start saying "[letter] as in [word]" for an incredibly long string of letters, I have to stop them and ask them politely to just say the letters.
Just a general question for your folks that were able to exchange via Ticketmaster, what was your dispatch method? I could imagine them being forgiving if it was e-tickets, but if you've already received your printed tickets, do they need you to send them back?

Personally, I don't see why this is necessary. The "final" performance is available on DVD (and I think Netflix streaming), I don't know why these networks don't pick shows that aren't really represented (adequately or at all)."
All the musicals FOX have done have had a movie incarnation already, they go for the shows with the built-
Ugh, that must suck. That's such a physical role, she does so much dancing, not to mention the fight choreography. Was her understudy not ready, or were there Tony voters there? I can't imagine why she'd otherwise try to get through the show.
I got a Ticketmaster email stating that tickets for July are going onsale tomorrow? It's for one particular set of dates but I'm guess they're extending a few weeks.
Ragged Tear, if they want to acknowledge the technical achievement that went into creating that special moment on the Today Show, then those people should be winning the Emmys. Not for the folks that are really doing a 3-4 minute version of what they do 8 times a week. I don't there's a lot of notable performance achievement there that they don't already do at any other press event.
Any really, should you really achieve a landmark achievement EGOT, that can take decad
So...are we potentially looking at SpongeBob SquarePants to possibly continue this streak into the Tonys, perhaps even winning a Best Musical? I mean, pickings are slim and it's kind of ended up earning the best reviews of the new musicals this season!
