But also, these titles are ones that regardless when they announce their tours, road voters would pick them up. Tell what markets wouldn't want a classic show in "My Fair Lady" for the blue hair crowd, and "Mean Girls" for all of those who grew up on the film?
I've never liked Terry Teachout. He has always come across as a stuck-up, arrogant man who doesn't like anything, and just seems to be stuck covering a topic that he no longer finds interesting, but does it for some reason that I can't fathom other than money.
However, reading the article, I have to agree with BroadwayConcierge when they say "he's not wrong". I do agree with him on points. Although, don't articles like this come out every few years wh
Possibly...I know its being quoted as "direct from the West End" when it plays in Toronto during February/March.

If Ginna Claire is indeed done in the beginning of June, does anyone know of rumours for her replacement on tour, or other tour rumbles?

I'm watching the this, loving it, and screamed at the top of my lungs: "HIM! He needs to be in a revival of Golden Boy!!"
New carousel album? Apr 26

It would be strange, as every other major R+H show has had a "new" cast recording (minus Sound of Music...but why choose anything other than the film sound track)
Gender Based Awards? Apr 26

To respond to a previous post, why can't at award season, we just say if you are an actor, submit yourself for whatever category you see fit. The level (supporting vs. leading) would be determined by the billing. All the TONY meeting announcement would need to say is, "(insert name here) is being considered for best leading performance.
I often wonder about actors in shows that they "know" are flops. For example, Victoria Clark in "Sousatska" in Toronto. The show wasn't incredible, but it did have great moments and numbers for Clark. Are you there in the show showing and proving the point that you are an amazing performer regardless of what material you have.
I think what they do will be interesting. I remember the Hal Prince piece when he won was televised, but others haven't. I feel like it all depends on what else is going on at the Tony's, and who they are celebrating. You can do a musical number, or piece for Sondheim, Tommy Tune, Chita and ALW, but not Julie Harris, or James Earl Jones...even though some you could do something for, they didn't.
I can see something for ALW more than Chita, but I feel like if they do so
F*** yeah, Chita! I really hope we can have a great tribute to her on the Tony Awards...although, I guess we can no longer call her our "Gypsy Queen"? lol
Prince Of Broadway cast album question Apr 20

I liked the finale (which I think was titled) "Wait 'Til You See What's Next" which was on the preview videos of the Japan cast in rehearsals. I still laugh when I see Nancy Opel hating the choreography of going back and forth.
Lack of LGBT Protagonistse Apr 19

I understand, yes there could be more LGBTQ+ leads out there.
I welcome more LGBTQ+ characters. I think that where I differ on the issue is n two ways:
1) Can we just have characters that are gay? As in being gay is (for lack of a better term) another personality trait? Like did the original gay character on Glee really have to be a flamboyant, Broadway loving guy who all he wants to do is play both Victor and Victoria? When will I see the private, masculine, non flamboyant ga
When will Encores learn and do a whole Kander and Ebb season with "The Rink", "The Happy Time", and "Flora, the Red Menace"? Hopefully before or after a Jerry Herman season of "Dear World", "Mack and Mabel", and 'The Grand Tour".
