The average ticket price for most of these new musicals is also pretty discouraging…they are playing to heavily discount Ted audiences.

To me, Dancin was a bore in the 70s.  I know it was a big hit, but Fosse was hot at the time.

I felt there was a sameness in having one dance number after another, with no connecting thread.  I was bored before the 3rd act began.  I may be incorrect, but I do remember 2 intermissions.  I have to admit that I felt the same way about Jerome Robbin’s Broadway.  Too much of a good thing.

You didn’t lie…you are either hallucinating or hoping wishes will come true.

My friend prefers to pronounce the title thePolish way: Lempitska. I’ll admit I prefer it that way too and if there’s ever a revival, would be interesting if they choose to pronounce it that way."

Curious what you think Tony voters would do if they saw it?  Re a potential revival, i assume this show will disappear once it closes.

Broadway Flash said: "Suffs needs to win the Tony award to stick around. The Great Gatsby is not going anywhere anytime soon. They have enough of an advance to last them for a year, and then probably stunt casting after the original casts contracts are up. They will be making over a million a week for the rest of the year. The Broadway Theatre will not be availablenext season."

What are you smoking????

I hope so, because I interpret it as a very elitist point of view.

I can’t get it to one, so I will cheat.  Daniel Radcliffe, who should have had several nominations by now; and Rachel McAdams, who took a big risk tackling that role as her Broadway debut.

I was unsure as to whether Sutton Foster and Aaron Tveit would sell many tickets to ST.  I am happy to see how well it has done.  It probably could have run through the summer and continued the impressive grosses had they decided to extend early on.  

I continue to be really surprised that SUFFS has not caught on yet.  I figured the solid (if not spectacular) reviews, coupled with the subject matter, would have resulted in much more comfortable grosses.

The Wiz was always a limited run to August 18th, but I wonder if this will kneecap it into closing early."

I doubt that The Wiz’s target audience even knows what the Tony’s are.  Won’t impact it an iota.  I expect great business all summer.  Time will tell if they extend.

I'm 100% expecting a Mike Faist type of nomination at this point."

I thought Justin Guarini and Jennifer Simard were both incredible in Once Upon... Unfortunately they submitted Guariniunder lead actor at the Tonys which all but killed any sliver of a chance he had."
