My bad. I checked the link in the first post in the page but failed to notice the default on the chart is to show the past 12 weeks and not the full run.

Christopher could definitely pull off Perón though. The man is a true chameleon and his list of credits in the last few years show that he can nail pretty much whatever is thrown his way. (Sweeney, Pirelli, Jelly, Seymour, Anatoly, Washington).
After a year of social media marketing I don't see them suddenly dropping Diego.
I also think part of Jamie Lloyd's styleis the visual balance of the stage p

Same. While I was more impressed by several of the other performances than you were, I got nothing from Levy until she got to deliver vocal pyrotechnics in her big number, and by then it was too little too late. Otherwise, it felt like Joshua Henry owning the stage, Brandon Uranowitz doing impressive work, several other actors (s

If Ragtime's coattails are strong enough to get it a win in Featured Actress for a performance that received...very mixed reactions, over at least 2 performances that were significantly stronger, that would be very disappointing.

I agree it will (unfortunately) be the thoroughly mediocre Levy. None of the others or their shows seem well-regarded enough to pull ahead, though there are several, if not all, I would choose before her. But she's in the best received show, and will be carried along in its acclaim.

I think it's difficult to write a musical with perfectly developed characters. Most musicals, even very good ones, lack in that department. But minimizing Two Strangers to a surface level, primitive Hallmark movie is rid

BECKY SHAW Reviews

There were a few (BECKY, SHAWBILL2ST, SHAWMANIA2ST) but yes, it looks like none of them are working anymore, probably because there's only a month left in the run.

While "Two Strangers" would be my personal pick (and I would love to see it win), I agree that it's Schmigadoon's to lose. Besides the aforementioned points, it's a homegrown product (vs a foreign import) with a large cast of Broadway favorites on and offstage. In a year without a consensus critical favorite, it seems like it has the most going for it to make it the popular choice.
