Way Too Early 2019 Tony Predictions thread  Mar 4 2019, 06:33:39 PM

Ever since Kiss Me Kate opened I haven’t read any buzz about Kelli’s performance being worthy of a Tony win.  Last year they say it was a two way race but now do you guys believe that Stephanie would be a lock for the win?  There are only 3 more musicals opening with Noblezada for Hadestown, Caruso for Beetlejuice and Cooper for Tootsie and I don’t think their roles are big enough to threaten Stephanie’s critically acclaimed performance.

Mike Barrett said: "I will be seeing the production next week with my boyfriend, but do people feel Cranston's performance is enough to push Network into "Best New play"?"

For a nomination? I would believe so.  But for a win definitely not.  It has to go thru The Ferryman and Mockingbird who are competing for that medallion.  It's still a two way race with Ink breathing in at 3rd spot.  So if Gary gets great to rave reviews I thi

Tell us your dream Broadway revival!  May 9 2018, 03:19:15 PM

I would really love to see Love! Valour! Compassion! and I would also love to see Joe Mantello to direct it again with an all gay cast like the boys in the band... I wonder who could play buzz...

I was hoping that Bent which was revived in Los Angeles would be transferred here but alas it wasn't meant to be. Would love seeing that on stage.

Lastly I hope they can revive Sweet Charity but with the original Bob Fosse choreography. I am dying to see the rich man's f

Angels in America Stagedoor  May 3 2018, 02:15:33 PM

Just went stagedooring last night (sorry for making it a verb!) and the five usual suspects came out last night with the addition of Beth Malone as she played the angel yesterday. They all look tired but were still very very gracious. Love them all! Denise Gough was very appreciative of all the love as people were showering her with praises for People Places and Things. McArdle was very friendly and talked with lots of people as did Garfield, Pace and Stewart. They all didn't have to for

Official 2018 TONY Nominations Thread  May 1 2018, 09:37:21 AM
So Angels in America is now the most nominated play in history with 11, right?

Sad for James though. I've seen both performance and he was far better than Cera, and even Tyree. I liked Lobby Hero though. Hopefully Angels can sweep the acting awards (except actress ofcourse) and can snag one or two technical awards from HP


2018 Drama Desk Nominations & Awards  Apr 26 2018, 12:21:19 PM
Glenda Jackson vs Denise Gough vs Willie Piper.... God these ladies gave the best performance of the century. Can we just make it a three way tie!?!? How the hell can you decide which one is better!?!? They were all trancendant!

2018 Outer Critics Circle Nominations & Awards  Apr 24 2018, 11:32:45 AM

Wow... I believe that the strongest set design and sound design was Once On This Island and they weren't even nominated!

I agree that one of the best performances of an actress in lead role was Denies Gough for People Places and Things, and add Billie PipEr as well for Yerma but I don't know if either was eligible. So hard to determine if Brooklyn theater is considered as a lot of great performances come from St. Ann's and BAM (and is Armory  considered an off-broadway


Way too early 2018 Tony Predictions Thread  Apr 19 2018, 10:33:18 PM

I know that critics and tony voters are a whole different group and mindset (although I think some critics are voters as well - I may be wrong) but as My Fair Lady is getting positive to rave reviews I just want to group the following shows as per critics to get a sense of who will triumph on Tony night... pls. Feel free to correct any errors

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 3/25/18  Mar 26 2018, 03:32:58 PM
I believe there were two press days last week for Angels in America. One on Wednesday and one for opening might. And both days are for parts one and two so a number of orchestra seats are comps for a total of four shows.

Sound Design Awards  Mar 26 2018, 11:28:19 AM

Once on this Island definitely deserves this award. Much like The Great Comet, the trick here is how to create a coherent, clear and crisp sound from the performers while they are literally all around the theater space (and not the usual stage). How they ingeniously hid speakers around the set, behind trash cans and, well, trash...Moreso, the score has a very beautiful vocal arrangement and having watched the show twice sitting along the 200s and the 400s, all of the performers are in pe

First Listen OOTI New Cast Recording  Feb 22 2018, 11:44:50 PM

The Human Heart has always been a favorite broadway song of mine for as long as I can remember.... I can’t believe how this production elevated the song even more - to such an ethereal place that only the great Lea Salonga can deliver.  I believe it wasn’t a stretch for this legendary actress to play Erzulie.... with her heavenly voice - she IS a goddess.

Will3700 said: "Speaking of stage door,do the actors usually come out during previews? Our tickets are for the very first preview on April 30th and I might actually want to for this one."

You may have to wait quite a while if ever they go out thru the stage door during previews as every after performance they get some feedback or discussions with the director.  



Breaking: THE BOYS IN THE BAND Will Come to Broadway This Spring with Jim Parsons, Zachary Quinto, Matt Bomer, Andrew Rannells & More!  Dec 15 2017, 10:55:58 PM

Does anybody know if Brian Hutchison is gay?  And is it safe to assume that Washington is as well (just checking his credits -no official declaration).  I know it’s not important but it would be just awesome if the whole cast were actually gay.  I’m not here to open a can of worms on how it shouldn’t matter.  I agree it doesn’t.  It is just a breath of fresh air to have actual gay actors play all gay roles which I believe have no

Actors / Actresses that should've won a Tony  Nov 23 2017, 12:59:13 PM

I thought that Jones deserves that Tony.  She was brilliant and moving when I watched DEH.  But if ever someone should win the Tony other than Jones, it would be Stephanie Block for her magnificent performance in Falsettos.  

 

While Ruthie Anne Miles is one of my favorite performers (even with a very small role in Sunday I thought she was fabulous) I still believe Judy Khun deserved that Tony for her absolutely stunning performance in Fun H
