Re: Paddington Cast?
There were 3 Billys and voters only needed to see one to vote for them to win. And there was a lot of backlash in the industry.

Re: Paddington Cast?
ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "In 2015, how did eligibility work for the cast of Deaf West's SPRING AWAKENING? That might be the most apt comparison.If they're not deemed a duo, and if they don't get a Special Award, that probably means thateachcould be nominated individually - so the show could end up with a Lead Actress and a Lead Actor nominee. And I don't think the Tonys would deem them a duo."The actors in Spring Awakening were not jointly eligible. Sandra Mae Frank was ruled leading ind...
Re: PADDINGTON: THE MUSICAL (Hirschfeld) - Kritzer, Hameed, Mueller, Hale, Shah, Ziemba & Zien.
Rob McClure had the offer for Mr. Brown. They could not. make a deal that made it worthwhile for him to commute in from Philly everyday and so he passed on the project.
Re: PADDINGTON: THE MUSICAL (Hirschfeld) - Kritzer, Hameed, Mueller, Hale, Shah, Ziemba & Zien.
That's what I've been thinking as well. They will not be eligible for the competitive award but will receive an honorary Tony alongside the puppet designers. And I think that is the right move.
Re: THE FANTASTICKS Previews
I saw this over the weekend after only listening to the cast recording a couple of times in high school but never seeing it live. I found it overall incredibly sweet and charming and a very well-done production on Gattelli's end. Maxim Chlumecky is really wonderful, charming, sweet, funny, and instantly endearing. He is paired well with Levy who I saw in & Juliet and found very unimpressive, but who fares much better here. At times I wished both of their voices were a tad bit fuller -- though...

Re: Paddington Cast?
They could not make a deal that worked for him so he passed on it.

Re: IN THE HEIGHTS (off-Broadway) Encores! at NYCC - Discussion & Reviews
Was also in attendance last night and while I had some quibbles with the production and a couple performances, at its center was still a beautiful show that I'm so grateful I got to see again. Overall, I do not think the space is utilized well at all. The famous rolling staircase makes an appearance, the scaffolding platform that the orchestra is on takes up a lot of space and everything else is used inconsistently. There is a lot of running around and moving just for the sake of trying to ta...
Re: Falsettos Reunion Concert
WiCkEDrOcKS said: "That was an unforgettable evening, but we really need to have a conversation about audience behavior.In the balcony, at least, the (VERY young) crowd was all buthaving a competition over who could scream, sniffle, sob,clap, or "awww" the loudest. An engaged and responsive audience can be integral to what makes theater so special, but this crowd was just plain self-indulgent and performative. They were also seemingly unable to sit still (checking phones, chatting, digging th...
Re: Benjamin Button's Chances for Success?
Jordan Catalano said: "Just curious, are they using Irish accents?I’m very interested and curious to revisit this one. I think I’ve said here before that originally seeing it off-west end with Jamie Parker, I was so moved by this and just loved it but was a lot colder to it for some reason, even it moved to the west end. Not sure if that was casting or not but it’ll be interesting to see how I feel about, here."They are doing the Cornish accents to varying degrees of success. dhow ended at 9:...
Re: Benjamin Button's Chances for Success?
Saw it this evening after loving it so much in London and while I had some problems with the changes made and bits of the transfer, it was such a delight to revisit this beautiful show. The good and the high points are really truly high points. The ensemble is doing really impressive work, vocally a bit stronger than in London and the musicianship is really top notch. Special shoutouts to Brandon J. Ellis and Sachiko Mae who bring so much to their featured ensemble roles. Andrew Durand and Ke...
Re: Remembering Gavin Creel: Broadway Looks Back With Pictures and Memories 2 Years After His Death
I think he would have made an exquisite Floyd in Floyd Collins. He left us with so many incredible performances to look back on, but perhaps what makes this all the more sad is thinking about all the roles he still had left to play ahead of him. A colossal lost for musical theatre.
Re: Shuffle Along Reunion Concert
Was lucky enough to attend last night and loved the material just as much as I did 10 years ago, perhaps even more. From the very start you could feel the joy radiating off the stage and the love these performers have for this show and just how much they wanted to showcase it as best as they possibly could. And every single one of them delivered. I think perhaps it is a blessing in disguise that the show was not preserved until now as everyone up there performed perhaps better than they did 1...
Re: Re: Damn Yankees Revival 2027
Very excited to see Austin Scott get a meaty starring role. He is so immensely talented and I'm happy so many more people will discover him through this show.
Re: Solea Pfeiffer and Liisi LaFontaine to lead WANTED at the James Earl Jones this fall
I continue to be baffled by the marketing for this show. Photos -- one rather unflattering picture of Solea which is shocking because she's absolutely gorgeous -- that seem better fit for an American Eagle ad, a strange video of them sweating on the subway (no shame, this summer's been killer), and a title that is a nightmare for SEO.

Re: SPRING AWAKENING at Studio Seaview (Off-Broadway)
TheatreMonkey said: "Hot take: I don't get the outrage over the (assumed) non-casting of "unknowns" from the open auditions. This is a commercial, major Off-Broadway production -- not a summer camp production. They opened auditions for everyone, which is admirable, but still no guarantee any of those seen would land a role. And who's to say that the multitudes seen were better than everyone else, professional or otherwise, that auditioned? Many productions, on and off Broadway, hold open call...

An 18 year old from Bumf*ck, NJ that came out to the city just to audition for this and has only done high school theater is an unknown. Let's call this what it always was, those open auditions were a PR stunt."Ok
