The nominating committee clearly wanted to make Hamilton the most nominated show ever. I think the exclusivity and hype mean that it will win in every possible category, except maybe Actress in a Musical.

The young Hamilton fans you're talking about probably watch the Tony Awards every year anyway.

I agree that people outside of New York and LA probably don't know or don't care about Hamilton. It might make a marginal difference but it's not like that many people have actually seen the show yet in the grand scheme of things.

Who could forget Ann Miller and Mickey Rooney's show stopping performance from Sugarbabies?

Another thought, I liked how up-beat and fun this version was compared to the weird and depressing movie. I guess it shows how wrong they got it in the movie.

For those who are familiar with the original production, how faithful was this version?

On a side note, I was rather underwhelmed by the proscenium arch approach and the projections. It seemed like a step down from the more elaborate production in Peter Pan.

I bet it's Cinderella. The Music Man isn't well known by most people under 50 anymore. They would need someone like Hugh Jackman to sell it. A classic like Gypsy, My Fair Lady or South Pacific would be great. After the good response this year, I'm sure they'll be able to get some more big names involved. I was concerned that no one famous would ever want to do one after Walken and Williams embarrassed themselves last year.

I'm assuming that this takes it over 1,000 performances.

Glad that American in Paris still did well.

P.S. Your Cat is Dead

I think that once the word gets out that people have been giving the number a standing ovation, people then feel a sense that they need to also stand up at their performance or else they're missing out on something.

I thought it was interesting that a producer of Something Rotten was supposedly encouraging people to stand up after 'A Musical'.
