STEREOPHONIC Opening Night Critics’ Reviews May 3

Also, I may or may not have gotten the chance to listen to some songs already... y'all are in for such a treat. Absolute chills. These are by far the best songs of this Broadway season. The question to me is just, do Tony voters see it as a "score?"

If they're doing performances for late night now, I feel like they have to be able to do a Tony performance...

What’s going on at Second Stage? May 2

MTC's winter show is Eureka Day"
No, Eureka Day is Fall and Old Friends is Spring. For Broadway, MTC usually has a Fall show that runs from September-November, a Winter show that runs from December-February/March, and then a Spring Show that runs March/April-June (or I suppose beyond if there's demand).
It doesn't have a season listed, but MTC's subscription page confirms that they have a third unannounced Broadway show: https://www.manhattantheatreclub.com/subscribe/

Jordan Catalano said: "Yes; they’re offering a lot of seats at that $50 price and fourth or so row is $100 - hence my saying it’s not as bad as I thought it would be."
Better prices than Kimberly Akimbo...

Fastest win to EGOT LMM or Pasek/Paul May 2

Did they have to pick just one? Unlike the Oscars, the Emmys do seem to like fun songs. But, I'd still be inclined to think Look For the Light was this show's best song.

Alex Edelman, Abe Jacob, Nikiya Mathis among winners of special Tony awards. May 2
2024, 12:32:27 PM
Just for Us was certainly in my top 5 for this season, so I am THRILLED for Alex.
We need a Best Hair and Wig Design Tony. But, if we had one, Nikiya Mathis would win with no opposition. So, I'm so glad she's being recognized.

THRILLED to see Betsy Aidem recognized, especially considering she was going up against a bunch of TV/Movie stars.

Shoshana Bean isn't winning. Kecia Lewis has a better chance than she does, and, personally, she's my pick.
Lots to critique about Hell's Kitchen but Kecia Lewis' stunning rendition of Perfect Way to Die had me in tears.
This category is pretty wide

I'm so excited!!! Very curious about Bright specifically. Is it the (superior) version that starts on the 3rd verse or the full 6 1/2 minute version or both. I'd also love the acoustic version we hear at the beginning.

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 4/28/24 Apr 30
2024, 12:54:01 PM
Honestly, for how packed this Spring is, a lot of things are doing better than I expected. Water For Elephants, Gatsby, Hell's Kitchen, Outsiders, Tommy are all definitely making money (or ther producers are truly idiots) and I imagine Notebook is on the cusp as well. Suffs probably still dipping into reserves, but it's been improving week-to-week. Very different shows, but it does remind me of where Shucked was this time last year.
Tony noms have a relatively negligible

I think it's probably less. The website lists 44, but that was as of 11/3/23. With this April onslaught, I'm guessing more dropped out. https://www.tonyawards.com/about/administration/

You know there are rules that determine the number of nominees, right? It's not just up to the admin. I suppose there's nothing legally binding because it's just an awards show (anybody know that for sure?). But, I highly

Some interesting predictions that I think could come true. But, it's hard for me to not throw out the whole thing when you think Lempicka is getting musical, score, and book noms.
They also imply that Here Lies Love is eligible for Best Book (GoldDerby also has it available to select in making your own predictions). Did we ever get a ruling on whether or not it's eligible and who would even receive that nom?

If was Stereophonic, I'd be sending this episode of Decoder Ring that David Adjmi and Will Butler did to every nominator and voter (if that's legal). They break down how to craft fake music that sounds authentic and is convincing enough as a future megahit. It just made me fall in love with the brilliance of this show even more. I'm really hoping it gets a best score nom and maybe even a win.

farewell Kimmy! Apr 28
2024, 10:47:43 PM
Had the most amazing time this afternoon! The energy was INCREDIBLE. There was a TON of physical comedy improv. The cast was having such a good time. Victoria did a bit before Better where she zipped up Debra's sweatshirt after she was inappropriate to Seth as well as one involving leaning on a wall. There was also either a bit or a save when the string on Victoria's party hat broke and Allie gave her hers. Allie held the broken one on her head and posed for an extra picture with it.&

This afternoon will be my 7th time seeing it. Bittersweet, of course, but I am excited!!! I've never been to a closing night before and I'm hopeful it'll be a great experience with the other fans of this show!
