I wish they had put a *tiny* bit more effort into creating transitions between songs, but overall this was quite a delight and pretty wide-ranging too.  And I Am Telling You got a laugh out of me, as well as the one line Tradition, but watching Andrew Rannells sing Book of Mormon again was something I didn't realize I needed this year.

I like it a bit better than Bad Cinderella (of which I mostly liked the In My Own Little Corner segment) and I'm very curious to see how it fits into the rest of the show.  Ivano Turco seems to do quite well here and I'm looking forward to hearing more from him as well.

Also the full album is now available for preorder and it has 38 tracks, so either the show is pretty close to sung through or they've included a lot of dialogue tracks, which makes me even more curious.

Somewhat facetious but also semi-serious question: for the best score Tony, do they put "Best Score (music and lyrics)" and thus have to change it to just "Best Score (music)" for this year?

Also, I'm curious about the best book of a musical category.  I'm in the minority that thought Jagged Little Pill flowed quite well and did a fairly good job tying together the different storylines.  Moulin Rouge, on the other hand, I felt was somewhat clunky (

I'm also a bit confused on what format this is going to take, since I think the zoom reading earlier this year also mentioned having the original sound/light/costume designers (as well as the original cast)

The Darryl Roth Theatre is producing the New York transfer of Blindness: http://www.darylroththeatre.com/productions/blindness/

tbh not too sure what exactly this is, but it sounds pretty interesting

It definitely depends what I'm listening to and whether I want just one song or I'm listening to the whole album to re-experience the show, and part of that also depends on how much dialogue studio albums prefer to put in vs how much acting is done on the album.  For example, in Phantom of the Opera, when Christine sings Think of Me, she's supposed to start out timid and then become more confident, but if I just wanted to listen to that song alone, I'd rather just hear he

Did you get an email? I got an email with a link automatically without purchasing it separately, but if you also go to https://events.broadwayworld.com and log in in the top right, you should also be able to see a link to it there.

Legally Blonde is a big one for filmed/aired while still running, and I've heard Jerry Mitchell say that he attributed a lot of the later Broadway/touring audience to people who had first seen it aired on MTV.  I believe Kate Shindle's also said something similar when she mentioned talking to people at stage door. 

To a lesser extent, I believe Daddy Long Legs was as well during the run off Broadway.  I think the interesting thing here is that despite the first f

I also took American Utopia off the list because while it hasn't officially closed, Broadway has.

I've heard everyone raving about Buyer and Cellar and I'm sad to have missed it.  I was pretty impressed with Heroes of the Fourth Turning in how much they were able to create an environment (even just have a matching black background was pretty cool, since each person's background blended into another's (low bar, I know).  I liked it a lot more than when I had seen it on stage, and I'm almost convinced they made changes to the script, but I think this form of de

I just watched the first episode and enjoyed it a lot.  It definitely has a pretty fun premise with wacky characters and a good dose of camp, and it looks like everyone is just having a blast doing it.  (My favorite part is that according to the cast list, Jeremy Jordan is playing Jeremy Jordan.)

Like others have said, it's definitely more than a zoom production, with separately filmed scenes, shot from multiple camera angles and featuring the characters getting up and wa

re: The Wrong Man--the only recording that exists is the concept album, though some of the cast members did quarantine performances on Youtube

I had Amazon Music as a trial for a bit, and they did seem to have more than Apple Music, though I didn't do an exhaustive search.  (At the time Apple did not have Anastasia, the recent My Fair Lady, and The Lightning Thief, though it seems like they've added it since then, so it's possible they've increased their Broadway l

The production of The Last Five Years from The Other Palace was done quite well with mostly minimal issues.  I have tickets to their upcoming production of Songs for a New World as well.

I've enjoyed the Shows Must Go On channel as well, with By Jeeves being a surprise delight, and I liked getting the chance to see The Wiz Live and Sound of Music Live (I couldn't sit through Peter Pan Live).

The National Theatre productions of Frankenstein and One Man Two Guvnors we

I had seen this on stage and felt that I didn't really "get it"; the most interesting part to me was about the 4 turnings.  Watching it again during an actual "crisis" does draw out different parts of it though, and I think there was more for me to discover in the earlier half (which I thought dragged on and was unnecessary in my original viewing).  I don't know if I'm necessarily convinced that it "deserved" to be a Pulitzer finalist or get

about time? the show ended barely a year ago"

About time for them to be on Stars in the House I mean, seeing as a good chunk of them are Broadway vets and the show itself is a musical.
