The Tonys really didn't warm to Gypsy originally. It lost best musical and best actress to Sound of Music."

"Gypsy" actually  lost to "The Sound of Music" AND "Fiorello!" as both those shows tied for Best Musical that season.

 

I was perplexed by Christine Ebersole's Best Actress/Musical Tony in 2001 for "42nd St.". I thought Marla Schaffel gave a much better performance in "Jane Eyre," and I really thought Ebersole's role was more in line with the featured actress category. Ebersole was much more deserving of her win for "Grey Gardens," although Audra's work in "110 in the Shade" that same season was equally deserving.

Lindsay performed in the show tonight, so hopefully, her situation is resolved and she is back to her regular performance schedule.

Thanks so much! A half hour after I purchased my ticket with this code, I got the email from the production with pre-sale info.

From the “Where I Wanna Be” vid, which is a really fun catchy song, Jasmine seems to be perfect for Betty! Great voice and seems to have a lot of on stage charisma for the role.

Hoping this will make it to Broadway - love a bit of old school jazz hands, and there’s room for it worth SLIH ending.

Wow, listening to the clip of "Where I Want to Be" just gave me vibes of Stephanie Mills in The Wiz. I'm excited for this young woman and hope that she really strikes gold in this show!

I keep on getting emails for Lempicka, and when I go to Telecharge, it asks if I have a promo code. I know it's early, but does anybody have one?

Also, I suspect a code for Days of Wine and Roses will be available soon. Anybody see or have one? 

TIA

Ken Davenport has been posting a lot about his shows on LinkedIn, a platform that rarely gets Broadway exposure. I noticed this post earlier today about ABN adding the Thursday matinee. I'm not sure of the study's validity and reliability, but there's some interesting data:

Sutton Ross said: "Sure, it's exciting to be in the same room as a celebrity you admire but they have to be talented and work in the part, or else it's a giant waste of my time and money. And break out stars will always be exciting. Julie was the story in the Spring of 2022 which was thrilling and crazy all at once."

I completely agree with Sutton. If a star is giving a high-quality performance, then I certainly am happy to see them in the show. Unfortunately, there have been stars who whose performances were painful or just not impactful (e.g., Julia Roberts in "Three Day so Rain," Hugh Jackman in "The Music Man", and I was disappointed. I find that seeing a high-caliber performance from a known star can be a hit or miss situation, and if one waits to get tickets, great WOM and/or reviews can prevent one from getting a decent ticket. For a breakout star, it's exciting to see someone who is unknown make their mark on a show and launch their career. Kristin Chenowith comes to mind after seeing her in "Scapin" off-Bdwy, among others. When I saw "Funny Girl" in May 2022, I didn't know that Julie Benko was performing until I was in my seat and found the announcement in my Playbill. I was pleasantly surprised, but ecstatic when I left the theater. As we know, people had an easier time getting a ticket to see Julie than for Lea, the star. Seeing a star comes with certain expectations, and disappointment is a result of unmet expectations. There are fewer expectations when one sees a breakout star because the person is still generally unknown and can be a revelation. Of course, each person's appreciation of a performance is subjective, so there's really no correct or incorrect response to the original question.

Please let us know where your tickets are located when they're confirmed by AR. TIA.

I'm guessing from the article, the separation is immediate? I just received a Ticketmaster gift card that I was going to use at a Nederlander house.

So sad. I enjoyed his performances over the years and still remember it was he who pulled me on stage at the original Spamalot. I was happy for him when he won his Tony. May he RIP.

With this morning's announcement that Days of Wine and Roses will be playing Studio 54 in January, I guess the rumors of Evita coming into the theater can be put to rest (for this season, anyway). I wonder if the show is still aiming for Broadway.

Last night at The Shark is Broken I was reminded that Colin Donnell appeared with Sutton Foster in Anything Goes and Violet.
