Yes, thank you for the explanation. I was wondering too, since it seemed like a slap in the face the two who weren't promoted (and seeing that new cast photo still kind of makes me sad). But I see from the Mincemeat wiki (assuming it's accurate) that the same thing happened on the West End with the second cast (two were promoted, two remained understudies, one later moved up too) so I guess it's how it's done and does make a certain amount of sense.

No."

Why not? The character already has won this award. Definitely possible."

Which character? Betty Buckley won Featured Actress for Grizabella, not Lead.

• If Robin's sister was so mad at her that she wouldn't invite her to the wedding, why was she having her run all those errands for her and still allow her up to her apartment to see her face to face when she dropped off the messed up cake?

The sister is an a-hole who was punishing her. Same reason she invited her groom's secret child without telling him, leaving it to be a surprise on him at the wedding.

She didn't allow her to go upstairs.

• Also, didn't Robin go upstairs with the aforementioned cake? Did her sister just... not notice?

She was told to leave it with the front desk. She clearly wasn't offstage long enough to have gone upstairs.

• Why wouldn't Robin visit her grandma?!

She's depressed. Avoiding people when you're depressed, even those who love you, is not uncommon. She even sang a whole song about how hard it was trying to be happy for other people, specifically mentioning acting happy for her grandmother. 

• Also Dougal sang so many dang songs about his father that at a certain point the relationship felt romantic.

There were...two? (One of which was really about his mother.)

 

Yeah, that comment has a bunch of replies with people saying that was not their experience. The poor social media person who was likely instructed to post that and has no involvement in any of the decisions has been replying and trying to connect them with Telecharge to find solutions Monday.

This may explain where Tony Macht's been.

It's the video ACL2006 posted at #3704 that was being discussed.

Last show with Hilty and Simard together today, though Williams and Sieber are both out. Glad I went back a few months ago to see all four, though others may not mind as long as they get Hilty and Simard.

Tutty is on this evening, with Best on as Robin.

A little bit from the original post still comes up at the moment in a Google search.



I did see the post before it was pulled and she described a little bit about how he came to call her, but I don't remember the details.

Andrew Fox says he is solely responsible.

I was just about to say--this doesn't make much sense from a financial perspective (barring the celebrity casting that keeps getting hinted at) but given that this is a thin year for musicals, it's conceivable people might be willing to throw in some money for the producing credit and possible Tony nom.

Laurie Metcalf’s Stunning Return to Broadway in “Little Bear Ridge Road”

The playwright Samuel D. Hunter tailors a family drama to the actress’s specific gifts

"The play operates best as a fine-grained character study, but its thinnest element is Ethan’s relationship with James, an oddly two-dimensional figure whose devotion becomes bizarre in the face of Ethan’s petulance and insults. I wondered if James’s saintliness represents another aspect of our lost COVID years, when intense relationships blossomed out of nothing. Hunter is interested in what flawed people can offer one another, the difference between saving and helping. "

Being discussed in the previews thread if interested.

Which is why I said "Adding here since the show isn't in previews."

And considering how typically nasty that discussion got almost from the start a different, and accurate, thread may be welcome for some. To each their own.

There's a link to them singing it on this very page from earlier today.
