Jonathan Cohen said: "The last time LePone had a lead role in a Broadway musical (by workload, not billing) wasWar Paint in 2017.
She's been on Broadway as recently as last December in TheRoommate. As long as Chris Harper keeps paying her salary, there's no reason to think she'd stop. But I do wonder if she'll only take smaller roles in musicals going forward, or only do plays, like Nathan Lane."
She'd make a FABULOUS Carlotta in Follie

Just in Time wasn't nominated for Musical or Score either, but performed. Not sure it would've moved the needle all that much, but i just find it strange.........

In hindsight, i think the producers could have saved the show if they had ponied up the funds to perform on the Tonys.
We were all expecting the show to post a closing notice the Monday after the Tonys (myself included, and i love Boop!). Even the show seemed to assumed this too as they chose not to 'pay to play' on the broadcast.

I'm sure i'm the minority, but my 'showstopper of the season' goes to the Act One finale of Old Friends. Seeing Bernadette appear with her parasol and saying just one word --- Harmony -- left me in tears.
