No award show works like this. It's for an award, not elected office. Get a grip.
The idea of HK causing split votes preventing Suffs from winning Best Musical sounds so crackpot conspiratorial. Like those voting audiences (I feel) could be barely touch in a Venn Diagram lol...
Another show with an incredibly boring book with great songs and performances. I don't care about the story involving either Man in this show. Grinded to a halt anytime Davis came into the story and for the show to end with "Yeah, he's still a loser who doesn't show up for his kid..." feels so... really?
I feel like this would be a good thing to have a Mad and Helen discover their characters together as opposed to trying to mesh into acting against someone who is already giving a comedy master act like Jen.
Crazy how nobody demanded this statement from "Liza™" and yet they still provided it... knowing that it was a flat out lie. They have done nothing but lie about every piece of the production of this book from the autographs to the audiobook for the pursuit of their own profits.
The way Jellicle Ball is going to be THEE Halloween costume this year in NYC pleases me greatly. Drag Queens already did Skimble and Victoria last year.

Would she even be willing to commit to an extended run of 9 months to a year? This isn't a play that could ever hope to recoup in a few months.

The sound is live but simplified and may still be cool enough to become a marketing event. (Though likely thedetail of how it is different in NYc and what that says about the US would be noted every time.)"
The reality tho is that... what is even the point of bringing this if they can't make the selling point come across effectively? It's

Then try not to appear as such. Piss off with the respectability, you're not being polite you're being rude. Criticizing the hiring of an Enby actor in the same breath as someone who has Dosmetic Violence charges.

But I can see the other side of that coin... that it's great to give a non-binary actor an opportunity for this role and in front of that audience."
J Harrison has a Tony, they don't need "an opportunity" they are a selling point to b

I'm sorry you feel that way. Just sharing my thoughts. Have you seen Hadestown? How do you feel about the current cast?"
I've seen it twice and it's a role that's been cast incredibly diversely from the start before Broadway. I'm not exactly sure what J Harrison's identity has anythin
hicaesar said: "I think the Hermes casting is a bit risky for this show... Hadestown is a show that attracts all people from all walks of life and having a non-binary Hermes risks pushing some audiences away. You can say that is right or wrong, but it's true. I wouldn't take my parents to see the current cast, I absolutely would take them to see any previous cast."
Legitimately some of the stupidest commentary I've ever seen on this forum, congratulations
