MadsonMelo said: "Yes, I expressed myself not in the best way. It's just because you can only win it once in your life and to win in your debut says a lot."
It's a fair point, especially since the voters sometimes give "make-up" awards to folks they've overlooked in the past. I don't think a lot of people would guess Sutton Foster won for The Music Man instead of some of her more iconic roles, but there's often an

Is this how the Distinguished Perforrnance Award is generally perceived?

I'm wondering if this is how the Tony race might play out. The contest is reminding me a bit of 2019, when Daniel Fish's Oklahoma! was very polarizing, still managed to win Best Revival, but he lost Direction to Rachel Chavkin for Hadestown, a new, more widely acclaimed musical.

HEISENBERG star Denis Arndt has died at 86 Mar 29

Sad news. I saw both Off-Broadway and Broadway productions of Heisenberg and thought it was a remarkable piece. He had such an easy, natural chemistry with Mary-Louise Parker, and he imbued that character with such kindness and gentleness. I’m glad I had the chance to see him.

I’m sure this will be more expensive than a flea market find, but you can order a reproduction of the poster from Triton Gallery if you strike out today.

The Gilded Tony Award Winners Nov 14

neil30043 said: "Part of the fun in watching the second season of The Gilded Age is seeing so many great Broadway folks on the home screen. So being an elder Broadway theater goer, I made a list of how many Tony Awards are represented by those folks that have been on at least one episode....I'm up to 26 Tony Awards. Has anybody else with time to spare done the math?"
This article is from season one prior to the premiere, so it omits season two newcomers like Laura Benanti, but it lists all the wins and nominations of the cast that we knew of at that point:

Here We Are is off-Broadway and, to my knowledge, does not participate in BC/EFA collections."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but shows like Little Shop and some others Off-Broadway have indeed collected in the past, so I thought I would ask, just in case.

Jen Silverman's We Play Ourselves has many great theatre-set scenes. The main character is a playwright, and though much of the book does not focus on Broadway, it's a fun and fast read.

True, I didn't remember the railing from when I sat in the center section. Updated my post to avoid confusion. Thanks!

Selling two tickets to this Wednesday matinee on November 15 at 1:00pm. The seats are on the left side, Row GG, Seats 101 and 102. Looking to recoup what I paid: $129 + $5 per ticket, so selling the two for $268. DM me if interested, thanks!

Jonathan Cohen said: "For me, casting Angela Lansbury, who was perfect as Mrs. Lovett, at least in retrospect, seems like a bigger example of casting against type. The nice old lady from Murder She Wrote is turning her customers into cannibals?"
Sweeney Todd preceded Murder, She Wrote by ~4-5 years.

Do you remember if the signed Sweeneyposter was the white window card with the title treatment or the newer one with Josh and Annaleigh on it? Thanks!
It is the white window card. It does not have Josh and Annaleigh on it."
Thank you!

Sondheim/Ives HERE WE ARE @ The Shed Oct 22

I saw this past Wednesday matinee and have been thinking about it ever since. I left the performance with the impression that this is a great show, but it has been growing on me more and more ever since. As with every Sondheim score, it would benefit from repeat viewings and listenings to the future cast recording to catch all of his marvelous wordplay. But even on first blush, his lyrics come across as witty and sharp as ever. The first act is incredibly brisk. The Man and the Woman's so

I haven't seen this yet, but is there any reason why Mantello and Tunick couldn't implement this while keeping with their (appropriate) goal of not altering Sondheim's score? As long as they don't change lyric
