It needed spark, creativity, etc. Better new songs. I REALLY wish we could have seen some of Timbers work on the show..

Really? We cant discuss a Broadway super stalker on "Broadway World" ? There wasnt anything mean in the thread that I saw. If we cant discuss stuff like that here where can we discuss it?

Even before he got sick he still had bad vocal habits. Being sick has probably magnified everything. To me he should have taken more time off. When your sick (coughing, strep etc) your vocal cords usually get swollen. And singing on swollen chords can be extremely dangerous unless you have really great technique. When I saw the show he growled the entire song and dodged the high notes at the end. If your sick and vocally struggling the LAST thing you should do is growl to get sound out. Growling

I have mentioned this before, but when I saw the show two or three weeks ago Alex not only was vocally struggling, but only barely came alive during his song. The rest of the show when he didnt have to walk around was him going to his little table and drinking water. Lea Salonga and Kenita Miller were in the moment the whole time and gave beautiful performances.

She freezes Arendelle by accident, and the ending is about her embracing who she is, and through that learning how to control her powers. Did you feel like there was a conflicting message between the self-worth song and her unfreezing everything?"
To me, "Let It Go" is about being completely and entirely unapologetic for who you are. It'

The design is truly atrocious. What should have been a light, gorgeous design for a show as breezy as Frozen is unusually dark and brooding. It felt like a total mismatch with the text.
Everything new to the show that isn't from the movie is beyond mind-numbingly borin
I can't seem to find it now, but I recall seeing a post on here that said Alysha had been swung out to watch Ti Moune and she was going to have a put in. Will she ever get to go on?
Did i read the list wrong this morning? I swear it looked like LaChanze and DeBose were both nominated for leading actress. Now that I'm rereading it has DeBose in featured. I guess I was sleepy this morning LOL
Can anyone explain the two Summer nominations? As for frozen while it is a mess I would have rather scene one or both of the girls be nominated instead of Summer. Also Frozen for best musical? NOPE. My guess about Alex Newell is that early on his was giving by all accounts a seemingly amazing performance, as time went on... well he seems to be suffering from some vocal problems and when I saw the show two weeks ago and he was pretty distracted. I know i'm not the only one who wasn't i
No one was expecting the two carousel noms in featured actress. And carousel got a costume nomination? YIKES. Those costumes are actually the ugliest i've ever seen.
Does the six nominations for Best Actress in a Musical have any potential impact on Katrina Lenk winning the Tony? And personally I loved all the plastics, but I would have rather seen Kate Rockwell show up as featured instead of Ashley.

Super surprised by all the carousel nods and Summer nods. Sad Kenita Miller wasnt nominated. Frozen really shouldn't be nominated for best score, book or musical IMO...
I think it's honestly between Band's Visit and Mean Girls for best musical. Band's Visit touched my soul in a breathtaking and honest way (beautiful score to boot), but I also had SO much fun at Mean Girls. The book is hysterical, the cast is PHENOMENAL, and several of the songs were catchy. Definitely the best two shows I saw on my recent trip to NYC. I think Spongebob will be nominated for best musical, but I can't see it wining. I'd be VERY surprised if Frozen is n

I wish I agreed with you :/ I had heard SUCH good things about his performance, but when I saw it a couple of weeks ago he vocally struggled and seemed distracted the whole show. I would much rather see Phillip Boykin take a OOTI male nomination for featured actor.
JudyDenmark said: "The absolute dream would be a Phillip Boykin nomination... but in a slightly more realistic world, my one guarantee would be Kenita Miller getting into the featured actress category.
Also Etai Benson, but I don't know who I'm kicking out to make room for him and Boykin, haha. (I'd be down with a Benson/Boykin/Butz/Lee/Stachel category. Not gonna happen, but a girl can dream!)"
