Well, with Elaine May in the mix, it may be a duel of octogenarians. Plus, Laura Linney, who is overdue for a Tony,might come in with Lucy Barton. In any case, the race has brighterprospects than last season's race.
If Rashad was indeed the one who said they didn't enjoy acting with Metcalf because she was playing it "real" and Laurie wasn't, I find that to be quite funny. To me, what was so brilliant about Rashad's performance was how "non-real" seeming it is. It definitely didn't seem to be naturalistic or anything like that to me. It was so affected which is what made it hysterical but also bruising. She was playing at stereotypes of modern women and teenagers, and

If we're casting Laurie in musicals, I want her Mrs Lovett.
Cast her alongside Denise Gough in Beauty Queen of Leenane. (Wouldn't mind McDormand in that either, especially considering her recent success with McDonagh.)
She would have been great as Mrs Sycramore in YCTIWY.

And I believe Salesman is trying to make it into next season."
Please elaborate on this! I would be over the moon if this happened.

Can someone explain why this production is so bad? I saw it and loved it, but I had never seen the show before. It seemed....really good?
I've never seen a production of Carousel before, so I went in pretty blind, but I loved this. I thought it was a mostly stunning production. You can tell things were cut, but it didn't take away from me. The ending gutted me.
Can someone explain to me what the major cuts and "issues" were? I know it's been said before, but I don't want to read through all these pages.
Saoirse Ronan in Cabaret in a couple of years, when Roundabout wants a quick cash-grab. Laurie Metcalf in Gypsy directed by Joe Mantello (even though she's not a singer, I don't care. I'd kill to see her take on some of the great Sondheim roles.) Toni Collette in Next To Normal. (Or Gypsy, to be honest.)
I was wondering when/what performances is Tony back in for in TBV. Also, if anyone knows if it's harder to get tickets on those performances, that would be great.

Me too. She's one of my favorite stage actors. I was thinking about her in regards to Three Tall Women. I loved Pill's performance, but I'm curious how Arianda would have been as C.
CoreyRyan3 said: "But if Gough ends up in Featured, I think she would likely beat Susan Brown. I think their best bet is to try to spread the category placement as much as possible though, putting Gough and Lane inLead."
I couldn't imagine Brown beating Metcalf. Gough, yes. It would just seem so odd to have Brown, great as she is, having a Tony for this over Denise. Also, they have to know Denise has a much better show to win. Her role is beloved, she's comin
Thank you for the words on the show. I'm so, so so excited to see this. How great was Laurie's monologue when she yelled at her son? That part gave me chills when I read it.

I'd be surprised if there are more than 30 lighting cues in the whole show. Even if the board memory and back-up all mysteriously wiped, I find it hard to imagine it causing such a delay.
I know what it sounds like to me, but I'll resist the speculation."

Hi, has anyone heard anything on when Michelle is leaving? A recent interview said November, but on Twitter I read it may be August 31st? If anyone knows or heard anything, that would be great.
