I just read it.  Didn't throw up and I can't dislike her for her decisions and rationale.  I walked away from performing in Chicago theatte for very similar reasons and it has taken almost 20 years for the theatre community in Chicago to start owning up to the abusive practices that everyone let slide for FAR too long.  I can only i

She was transcendent. She deserves that win. The Sound Inside was the best play of the season. It is eclipsed by the showier, more hyped plays though.


Audible has the play on audio performedby Parker if you want to hear her perform it.

I will definitely check that out!

I missed the beginning. Did anyone post "Worst Tonys ever!" yet?

Remember the good old days when everyone would bitch and moan whenever there was a number performed that wasn't directly connected to a nominated show?

I miss all the hand-wringing meltdowns.

With all the missing winners, how are they going to fill the time?
Best William finn musicals/songs?  Sep 10 2020, 06:13:47 PM

I think Little Miss Sunshine was his one stumble among a rather stellar body of work.  It's nearly impossible to pick a favorite song, but the one that immediately springs to mind is Heart and Music from A New Brain.  I played the priest in one of the first regional productions in the US following the Lincoln Center run and it was a joy to perform every night.  The cast never wanted the run to end.  We received some rave reviews locally and William Finn called our thea

2009-2010 Musical Revivals  Sep 10 2020, 06:04:06 PM

The only one I got to see was La Cage and I preferred this revival over the original staging, which always left me cold in its wildly lavish and unrealistic grandeur.  Yes, the original was visually stunning, but the millions spent on the designs, costumes and cast felt completely out of place to me in the story's setting.  I was really scratching my head wondering about a drag club in the 80s that had that kind of crazy budget, but the particular cast I saw didn't


Time For A Gypsy Revival  Sep 10 2020, 12:12:36 PM

We'd have to bring back Fiddler, La Cage and Follies in the same season or it just wouldn't be worth it.


Musicals that were announced but never materialised.  May 25 2020, 05:26:38 PM
I remember a musical based on the comic strip Hazel the Witch was announced around 1999/2000 that never went anywhere.
Unnecessary Revivals  May 25 2020, 05:19:24 PM
At least once every season somebody revives this topic, so like any other revival, there are always people out there who consider it worthwhile enough to engage, regardless what someone else thinks.

Worst Broadway Musical Season  Mar 31 2020, 05:52:30 PM
"How about 2010? The choices were Memphis, American Idiot, Fela, and Million Dollar Quartet."

Million Dollar Quartet was too small for Broadway as it was from its hugely successful run in Chicago, but still snagged a Tony for Featured Actor. Memphis was actually a solid conventional book musical with a decent score. Fela was the critical darling of the season and received out-and-out raves. And American Idiot was just flat-out brilliant. Easily my pick for Best Musical that season.

Girl From the North Country Broadway Reviews  Mar 10 2020, 12:28:40 PM

I know opinions on this one are mixed (to say the least) but I adored it and think it might just be my favorite musical of the season. 

You can think that if you like, but your favorite musical of the season is actually Six.  That's just how it is.
