Reverse it. Stick Mamma Mia in the Jones. That flaccid little tour set should fit right in and they can command even higher prices. Lord knows that theatre needs a hit.

Nothing in the rules prevents a dual nomination in the same category, but it arguably is a risky move because the Tony voters select a performance, and not an actor per se. Therefore, it’s possible someone could turn in two strong performances and get the short shrift because the voters would pick one or the other and split the difference - much like when a show has multiple nominations in the performance categories.

Gotta love Metcalf doing two meaty roles in one season, though I wonder how that will impact her chances of a Tony if she ends up competing against herself.

Also, the Winter Garden feels HUGE for this show, but I feel like it’ll still get filled regardless

I really appreciate you sharing these articles. It’s become part of my daily reading ritual

It’s weird because had this come up a month ago, I would’ve said skip Tveit but I feel like he’s grown quite a bit while Lea has remained a bit static

It appears based on a recent Instagram post that Ryan McCartan is alluding to upcoming dates where he will return as Gatsby, most likely on days that Jeremy Jordan is going on tour with his band. 

Considering there is no comparison to speak of right now, it’s really a matter of personal taste of who you want to see more. Honestly, I think skipping Lea would be your better bet personally. I like Aaron’s synergy with Nicholas as Anatoly.

But ifCole wereto be interested...

Hard disagree. Jinkx has deep reverence for Judy Garland and I don’t think this would be something she would turn into a “drag” type of performance. As she has shown with her record breaking runs in Chicago, Little Shop, and Oh Mary, she has the draw and the fanfare to make a limited run of this work effectively.

My only quibble is that she is well known for her Snatch Game portrayal which, while very studied, is the point of reference for most people when it comes to Jinkx/Judy - so I hope people don’t go in expecting Oh, Mary levels of camp

In case anyone wants a sneak peek of Sherie

I have nothing new to add other than that I concur with everyone that Sherie was indeed a revelation in the role and made us see Jackie in a way that Kristin could never.

I think if you want to see the way they probably wanted the show to be/sound like, go to a Sherie show on 12/3.

 

Also, we will need to wait two weeks to see the true impact Leslie’s departure has on HAMILTON since he’s doing his last three shows today and tomorrow, and then it’s the holiday weekend.

Did they say who was coming in as Burr after Leslie? I was going to assume Jared Dixon would come back, but I could also see them riding out the holiday weekend with understudies and the new Burr will start next Tuesday
