According to posters (or bots) on Reddit, clips of the speech never made it to CBS’s social media sites which is not surprising but also the Lost Boys social media sites as well, and apparently those posted by fans have been threatened with copyright infringement."

his full speech is up on youtube posted by "The Tony Awards." None of it was edited out of the broadcast. You sound like the people convinced the people of LA were cheated out of Mayor Spencer Pratt
"

For what it's worth, his speech was just posted by The Tony Awards account (along with the other winners' speeches) this afternoon (and it looks like his was the first they posted)

https://www.youtube.com/@tonyawards/videos

Those pointing out it didn't make it to CBS's accounts are correct. The CBS Youtube account did not post his speech. They posted Bean's, Lithgow's, Henry's, and Levy's on Sunday immediately after the awards. No one else's. Whether it's suspicious that he's the only musical actor whose wasn't (while Metcalf, Ehrenreich, and Manville's also aren't on the play side) is up to the viewer.

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 6/7/26

I'm certainly not expecting a long run for it. I think the best case would be sticking it out through January 3; a show that's set during the holiday season should at least stay open through then. But it also seems foolish to consider packing it in now (Closing Imminent!) considering the bloodbath of closings that are coming. It's not going to be long before there is a lot less competition and a lot more open theaters. Simply by virtue of a lot less options for the (dwindling) num


Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 6/7/26

When a show is up week to week and hits its highest average ticket price in over three months, and you declare "Closing Imminent!" that's not looking at facts. That's doomcasting.


Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 6/7/26

For those doomcasting Two Strangers, they only had 7 shows last week, yet were only down by $17k. That's an average of $82,620 per performance, which is their best in months ($74,442 last week, $81,670 the week before, which was their highest grossing week since February).

this isn’t even remotely true

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.

Highest grossing week for Two Strangers in three months. Love to see it.

eta: corrected my mistake.

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.

(The fact that both of them, let alone anyone, is voting for Nichelle Lewis is horrifying.)


Who's taking Leading Actress in a Musical this year?

quizking101 said: "Even months later, I couldn’t tell you a damn thing in Levy’s performance than stuck with me."

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


Who's taking Leading Actress in a Musical this year?

WldKingdomHM said: "I think it’s a Ragtime sweep for every acting category (even thou I’m rooting for Andre)"

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.


Who's taking Leading Actress in a Musical this year?

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.
