I dont see how public performances indicate gaining steam. At all. What they are trying to gain is both a paying audience and attention.
Those tv shows arent inviting them because they think they are going to win- the bway production asks (and pays, i believe) to go on them.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I feel The Prom score doesn't work great out of the context of the show. So isolated performances have always fallen a bit flat for me. In show though, much better. Which is to be expected of course, but still. I don't think their tony chances have anything to do with that to be honest. I think its got a small shot at Best Musical. But small.

Posted: 5/31/19 at 10:44amI think the point is more that Hadestown and their producers seem to have completely forgone putting their show out there to keep it fresh in the voters' minds, whereas The Prom keeps reminding everyone they still exist and should still be remembered. Not saying either method is right or wrong, but just how the two shows differ in how they're going about trying to get the Tony.

I thought that Glenda Jackson not getting nominated was the big snub of the season. And then I saw the show this week. She was so thrilling in 3 TALL WOMEN, but her LEAR had little range. The endurance, of course, is admirable.

How do you mean?
Hadestown released a few songs as a first listen from the cast album. They have a spread in Vanity Fair this month. They have been doing the talk shows as well as releasing interviews and a lot of behind the scenes content. I love The Prom, but I am genuinely curious to see what they are doing that Hadestown isn't?

Doing my annual NYC trip. After seeing Kiss Me, Kate I’m very surprised that Corbin Bleu didn’t get nominated. I know it’s a tough category and I see why the guys from Hadestown and Tootsie are up (I haven’t seen Ain’t Too Proud) but Bleu is terrific.
