Has anyone who seen the tour also see Broadway previews yet? Just curious to see if anything has changed/ gotten better since the tour.

Loved the Lion and Wiz, though it is a smaller role.Tin Man has great song in 2nd half. 2nd act is amazing. Worth seeing. don't know how it will do on Broadway but at least a 6 month run."
Well it was only ever supposed to be a limited run anyway.

So perhaps they are only hoping to play New York through to January 2025?"
That could be perhaps, it was only ever supposed to be a limited run, but they've never announced a closing date. I've been won

I was literally just wondering about this, thank you! I didn't get a chance to see him on tour but I did want a chance to possibly see him on Broadway.

So I heard someone suggest that perhaps they're going with the badly made AI projections because maybe it's the more cost effective/ more convenient option for the touring production. Maybe that was the best option to be able to tour with the show. So I'm holding out hope that when the production settles in NYC they'll have actual sets and less projections.

Biggest Tony Award Snubs Ever Oct 11

Jarethan said: "I don't see how a piece of garbage is 'snubbed' because it didn't get nominated, despite having no competition. I know that there have been a lot of underserved Tony nominations, but that doesn't mean that they should lower the bar even further. To me, it would have been embarrassing, had it been nominated."
What are you talking about? There was no context in your reply.

For me, I will be upset with this until I die, the biggest snub is Mary Poppins losing choreography to Spring Awakening. That was insane I will never get over that!

Well, it's a limited run anyway. I don't think they announced when it's closing but it's definitely a limited run, as of right now.

The voices are amazing, the sets fantastic and Ruffin's take/story/jokes are hilarious. The audience was in love with it. You can tell they are still working on it (there's no real curtain call yet) but everything about it works. The orchestrations and arrangements are beautiful and

Allyson (ensemble) played Adda last night"
Yes, but I also heard that they gave her song to Glinda though. How was that, did it seem weird?

The only part they don't have is Addaperle. Not sure what they're doing about that.

Anyone know or have any speculation why they cut all the reprises out of the cast recording? I found that odd.

Jordan Levinson said: "This sounds more generic and cliché than the majorityof Sklar and Beguelin's scores forTheWedding SingerandElf. The lyrics are nothing short of atrocious/chock-full of slant rhymes and Streep's rap is underwhelming. Now I know I probably won't watch the end credits of The Promon December 11th. At the very least, I know the rest of the score is leagues better than this.

Should BroadwayCon 2021 be virtual? Nov 28

I agree 100%. I don't know how successful the Flea Market was, but I highly doubt this would see much success virtually. 2022 seems the best option."
Well it's happening. It was just announced April 17th & 18th virtual Bro

Jordan Levinson said: "Corden and Kidman are big question marks though thus far, and how could they possibly omit"We are liberal Democrats from Broadway!"?
I said the same thing!! I'm really hoping it's just some weird editing thing they did with the trailer and that is actually in the movie. It's such a great and funny line it would really stick to lose it!
