You specifically."Friendly reminder that awards are not always indications of quality and plenty of undeserving parties win awards, Tonys or otherwise, every year.And winning Best Revival from the same voters that deemed Sh*ttydoon Best Musical is hardly something to crow about.

For those criticizing DeBose for her career not taking off the say it supposedly should...a reminder that Rita Morena, legendary career that she ultimately had, has openly discussed how she struggled after WSS. She wasn't getting opportunities and offers. The roles (especially non-stereotypical ones) for Latin women weren't there. Similarly, are there really roles that DeBose would have been suited for that she missed out on? Or is her supposed lack of success simply because the opportunities...

Turning around and insisting you can’t engage until you personally see their accounts lets you shift the entire conversation onto access instead of the seriousness of what those women reported. Calling that gatekeeping doesn’t expose anything. It just dodges what they said."Again, we can't dodge anything when nothing has been said.In what way did he treat them inap...

Just noting Sam Tutty was out of Two Strangers for a vacation since at least Thursday (and earlier?).

Did anyone attend one of the first few shows? Any impressions to share?

EvanstonDad said: "Ouch for Every Brilliant ThingIndeed. Why on earth didn't they just close this after Hargitay left if they couldn't find a bigger draw than Tracee Ellis Ross? (Though to be fair, I myself was surprised at how big a draw Mariska Hargitay was, so maybe they held out hope for a similar surprise?)"The next show at the Hudson doesn't start until the end of September. The show has already recouped with Radcliffe and as a one-person show can't be that expensive to run. No reason n...

Yeah, Ken Marino would have been a get for Broadway and I wish he'd been a replacement here. I suppose the scheduling didn't work out. But having seen several understudies in the role who were capable musical theater performers who fell completely flat as Ernest, it was very clear the role needs someone who is adept as a comedian like Sieber is to sell it. "The Plan" simply doesn't work without someone who can do funny. Marino certainly qualifies.

The hilarious part about this endless discussion is that ColortheHours048 made the point in the first paragraph of their original post, then made a different point in their third paragraph, and joevitus decided to object to the third paragraph...by repeating what ColortheHours048 said in their first paragraph. And the thread has been spinning in circles ever since.ColortheHours048: "The difference is the construction of the choreography. Fosse choreographed for the theatre. He understood the ...

ACL2006 said: "So, Meg isn't sick. She was seen at the Comedy Cellar last night. So she's been blowing off the show. Is there a possibility the producers fire her?"

OP: "Any recommendations outside of the usual Disney fare?"Jarethan: "Take them to Disney shows."So helpful.

GottaGetAGimmick420 said: "Did this ever post a new closing notice/use its original one? Or was this like Fear of 13 where it just moved up its closing quietly?"Neither. It actually extended at some point. It was originally announced for a strictly limited 16-week run, ending June 28. On Opening Night at the end of March Playbill was still quoting the June 28 closing date. Then it added two weeks.https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/DOG-DAY-AFTERNOON-Broadway-Theatre-and-Dates-Announced-2025...

Jay Lerner-Z said: "Beyoncé selling her soul to Dubai for $24M was a deeply problematic and sh!tty thing to do.I don't know why so many of you seem to have such trouble acknowledging that.Oh, well, I guess it gives me an insight into MAGA nuts and how the cult of personality works."Lying and deflecting when called out on it? Yes, you have much in common with MAGA.This is a Broadway message board. Many of us have no interest in discussing Beyonce because we have no interest in her. She has not...

Highland Guy said: "If you have a cruise ship full of LGBTQ+ passengers, why would you send them to a country (Turkey) that probably would not be overly welcoming? Are these issues/possibilities not worked out in advance?Instead, put a friendly port of call on the agenda. Valencia, Spain, comes to mind. Currently hosting the World Gay Games. Can't get much friendlier than that." This particular cruise has apparently docked in Istanbul 13 times since 2000. So it has docked there before without...

Jay Lerner-Z said: "I don't constantly bring up Beyoncé, I haven't mentioned her in over a year."It's been in your signature for years, so you've mentioned her every time you've posted.
