Who should host the Tonys?
Jan 27

Back Row said: "It seems to me that the primary consideration should be that the host is simply likable. That alone would rule out a lot of the names that have been mentioned. It's a tough call for CBS. A lot of popular Broadway names are largely unknown to the general public. Would big names like Steve Martin and Martin Short be interested? John Mulaney?

Biggest disappointments from established teams?

KJisgroovy said: "I realize its already been said but I feel like we can't mention War Paint enough. On paper everything looked extraordinary. From creatives, to director, to casting and concept. What we ended up with was just awfully inert. Wrong choices made at every turn. Changes made from Chicago to Broadway made things worse."
Glad I saw it in Chicago!

Oh, please NO!

When the UR expire, producers have to decide whether or not to renew. As opposed to a work without source material (or with a not-notable source material),

Anne Bancroft (in most of her iconic roles)
Valerie Harper (Rhoda Morgenstern)
Wendi McLendon-Covey (Beverly Goldberg)"
Dont forget Rachel Brosnahan as Mrs Maisel

(I also just never understood the appeal of Olivia Colman. *ducks*)"
Watch the film Tyrannosaur from 2011 and you should get it. It was the first thing I saw her in, and was hooked. Amazing actress…and a hoot when interviewed.

I discovered Los Tacos #1 on my recent trip to NY. I went there for lunch twice in my 5 night stay and both times the line was out the door. The tacos are amazing and the atmosphere is very bustling and exciting. The place is definitely on my must-go list for the future.

I’m still holding out the hope of her somehow getting Devil Wears Prada! Maybe after Beth leaves. She would be great as Miranda!!
