2025 Tony Awards Reactions Thread
 Jun 8 2025, 09:38:24 PM

I’ve seen all the nominees and honestly, other than Sunset Blvd., there hasn’t been a single performance yet that hasn’t had me wondering why they made THAT choice. Maybe Happy Ending, Just in Time, and Pirates in particular could have done so much better.

It’s ridiculous that they’re considered “minor” awards. But more than anything, I wish Celia and Harvey’s speeches could have been in primetime. As many people as possible need to hear them.

This is disheartening. It sounds like they kept the underwhelming stuff and made it less clear than Jocelyn Bioh’s Berkeley Rep version - which at least established why Nadira (Amber Iman’s character) is on Earth. She’s looking for love! That’s not clear?

I have retained a soft spot forGoddessbecause Iman was great and should be a star, and the parts of the Berkeley Rep version of the show that worked really worked. The first 10 minutes or so -

My wife and I were at the third preview last Thursday, and we were both underwhelmed. On the plus side, all of the performances were strong, there's some great puppetry, and the choreography of the ensemble African Jazz numbers was energetic and fun.  But the book (now credited to Saheem Ali, with additional material by James Ijames) is a disjointed mess, and isn't aided by the staging; it's never clear why Marimba is on Earth (was she exiled? did she escape after b


BOOP! THE MUSICAL Reviews
 May 1 2025, 06:39:58 PM

I was at today’s matinee, the first performance after Tony nominations. Jasmine Amy Rogers received a standing ovation after “Something to Shout About” that must have gone on for at least three full minutes. She was repeatedly overcome with emotion, visibly crying (which just caused the audience response to surge again), and sinking down until she ended up kneeling on the stage. Jerry Mitchell came out during the curtain call to announce the nominations (video below). All in all, a very special performance, and a happy coincidence that I booked tickets weeks ago for today as part of this trip.

The 78th Annual Tony Award Nominations for 2025

Five acting noms for Purpose but nothing for Rashad’s direction is just weird.

Glengarry shut out except for Odenkirk. Othello and Old Friends shut out completely. Surprised that Mincemeat missed for direction, and super bummed about Helen J Shen.

I didn’t have the chance to see this downtown and wish I had…I can imagine what a special experience it would have been in an intimate theater…but seeing it tonight and having no basis of comparison, I thought it was unique and wonderful. A truly bizarre story told with theatricality and tremendous heart, with a great score, performances, and direction. I’d put it up there with MHE (still my favorite) and OM, and ahead of RWHC and DBH, in the running for Best Musical

Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard doing "Confrontation" from Les Mis was the clear highlight for me.

My wife and I saw this last night. We've loved Groff ever since Spring Awakening and are old enough to remember Bobby Darin and be familiar with some (but far from all) of his catalogue, so YMMV, but we had a wonderful time. Groff is the show's essential life force and it's hard to see the show working without him, but he's so committed, charming, and talented that I find it equally hard to imagine anyone not being entertained. We were grinning ear to ear for mo

Sunday evening off-Broadway

I'm looking to fill a Sunday night slot for my upcoming trip with either Grief Camp at the Atlantic or the Caryl Churchill plays Glass. Kill. What if if Only. Imp at the Public. Has anyone seen either production?

It’s well-constructed and stylish, and there’s certainly a lot about it that I liked, but I didn’t think it was as wholly successful as others seem to.

I feel like I’m missing something. Maybe I should revisit…

FWIW, I've seen MHE twice. The first time I th

No, it's perfect and exactly where I'm sitting tonight.

What would you say as between Row C Orch center and Row A Mezz center?  Don't want to be craning neck upward or be blocked by tall people, but also want to be close for what I understand is (or was) a pretty intimate staging.  Hoping to make the rig

I have a very well behaved elementary kid (older than 5) who actually likes the soundtrack and I guess not all kids are the same but 5 seems quite young and I was very surprised when I read that on their site."

Tony Award-Winning PARADE Revival On Tour
 Apr 6 2025, 04:28:20 PM

Thanks for sharing your experience, tacotheaterlover! I saw the revival on Broadway with Ben and Micaela and am very much looking forward to seeing the tour when it gets to LA. More importantly, most of us had “that” theater moment, often at around your age, that set us on a lifetime path of love for the art as either a performer or audience member (for me it was the OBC of A Chorus Line when I was 14), and it’s wonderful to see your enthusiasm and passion

I agree it will be considered for Best Play, but it's not really new. John Proctor is the Villain has previously been produced in Boston and Washington DC with completely different casts and directors. That's few enough productionsth

I’m also surprised they can get away with “Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim” given the heavy featuring of West Side Story and Gypsy

Why on earth would it be considered a revival? It's a new play, The fact that it's an adaptation of a novel doesn't make it a revival any more than The Outsiders was.
