A friend recently explained all the similarities between the basic premise of The King and I and The Sound of Music which surprised me. (Free spirited single woman meets authoritarian attached man, immediately at odds, helps raise the children, but eventually find love)
I noticed that despite the huge difference in tone and execution, both Come From Away was strikingly similar in premise to The Band's Visit.

Can't speak for the Tony awards, but i worked at the accounting firm that tabulated and kept the results of another televised awards show. There were definitely questions between the producers and the partner of the firm, such as, 'We were thinking of having performer X appear during this part of the broadcast, would that be a good idea?" The partner would answer. It may be a technicality, but never was the winner of a particular award the quest
Question--Now that it is explained why understudies may not be ready during previews, can someone with knowledge please explain just out of curiosity. What are understudies typically doing during previews? Are they paid? Are they watching the performances so that they can be ready for when the show officially opens? Or are they not present, since there is no time for them to be rehearsed? Or does each show and/or actor have a diff
telecharge is advising that Michael Lee Brown is performing the role for evening (i.e. October 31st) and Sunday shows including the November weekend that was supposed to be the last weekend for Ben Platt. (not just the matinees we already knew he was covering)
Is this some kind of mistake? (the general information about who is performing the role and when remains unchanged, but when you go to actually buy tickets, this is when the notification comes up.)
Does anyone know how the Tony nominating committee deals with diversity of acting nominees? This year, unlike last, one could easily have a scenario where all 20 of the musical acting nominees be Caucasian.
Do they try to address diversity before the vote and hope for the best? Or are they able to adjust/re-vote if need be after the initial results, simply to avoid a backlash situation similar to the Academy awards in recent years.
So, would it be correct to assume then that Broadway shows in general do NOT have a doctor or medical personnel on premises? Just wondering if there are exceptions, i.e. Cirque show with acrobatics or Spiderman. Any information/insight would be appreciated.
saw show for first time tonight, so nothing to compare her to, but she stood out among many amazing performances. she was moving, and vocally a powerhouse!! would love to see a comprehensive comparison of original performances vs. replacements now that most principal roles have left.
