Also very pleased by Joshua Boone's nomination, saw The Outsiders again over the weekend and he's just explosive up on that stage."
Agreed. I hope he wins. Such a

Your Single Favorite 2024 Tony Nomination Apr 30

I was one of the first to predict ( in the Vanya thread) a nomination for William Jackson Harper in Uncle Vanya who gave a charismatic performance. I am so happy to see that my prediction come true.

How is it decided that a production will not be nominated in a category that has only a few nominations? Examples: Uncle Vanya or the Wiz?

D6 orchestra obstructed view was good. Very little was obstructed. Boy those seats are tiny. A guy was behind me with his dog. That must have been uncomfortable.

I felt like this would have worked better as an Off Broadway production perhaps somewhere like the Mitzi Newhouse where the set design was sparse. I thought the writing was so so and predictable. The direction and transitions were somewhat clunky. I would have cut the 10 minutes with Jessica not saying a word for we already knew everything she was communicating. I did not understand why they were not using liquid in the drink glasses and handling them like they were empty. If the reason was t

I thought William Jackson Harper gave the most engaging performance of the evening. He was charismatic and interesting to watch. He will be in line for a Tony nomination. One very minor costume note would be to scruff up his boots.
Some of the scene work felt a little flat and I felt some of the speaking cues needed to be picked up. It was like the actors at times got caught up in the tone of the play which in turn robbed them of their energy. At times the

I very much enjoyed the Cate Blanchett production at NY City Center. Richard Roxburgh was excellent.

I have bought the cheaper seat against the wall down front and have been very happy. But I cannot speak to the set design or staging for this particular play. But I have reserved another cheaper seat for a preview performance.

I must say that Michael has gotten a ton of press over this. Every news outlet I normally read has ran the story. It probably is the most picked up park story since Kevin called the police after his cell phone was taken while he was walking his dog at three in the morning.

The only problem with projections is that you cannot see them when sitting off to the side in the 100 or 500’s.

The running time is 2 hours and 20 minutes. The first act is much longer than the second.
Me thinks this is a show that benefits from a critic’s seat. I have not seen it yet, but I have heard varied opinions.

I thought it was a splendid production. Well directed and acted. Past productions I have seen have had me looking at my watch. This was far superior. There has been a trend on Broadway in recent years that every show gets a standing ovation, I think primarily because people have spent so much money. But for this production it was well deserved. I think it will be nominated for a healthy amount of Tony awards. Groff will be hard to beat.
