I just went back to look at Marty's post and the caption was edited and now reads "Victor, Emcee u/s" so maybe I misspoke.

"Will the Emcee/Sally alternates starting in June come from the existing cast's understudies, or should we be expecting 2 new additions?"

I believe they're in-cast. I know Marty Lauter (aka Marcia Marcia Marcia from RuPaul's Drag Race) announced they are the Emcee alternate for Mondays on Instagram when the cast was revealed. They play Victor normally.

Not sure about Sally. 

I'm pretty sure this isn't true but at the same time, Jamie Lee Curtis schmoozed and networked her way into an Oscar she didn't deserve based on good-will and legacy, so her finding a producer for this wouldn't shock me. Not to mention, it would absolutely sell. Weirder things have happened! 

I loved this show but what an example of poor producing. Do we think it will be remembered come Tonys time, or will it just be too crowded of a season? 

I thought of Awkwafina but I'm not sure she could handle the score nor do I think her casting would move tickets. I saw a lot of suggestions on social media that it may be Queen Latifah (rapper/has voiced characters in all the Ice Age movies). It's not the first role that I'd imagine her in but it would definitely pique my interest!

^ It's heavily rumored that only Kritzer & Urie are transferring from DC with the rest of the leading roles padded with big names. We'll see. 

She sings main vocals in about 3-4 songs throughout the evening, but I wouldn't say any of it is out of Betty's range. I'm more interested to see what she does acting wise and she's such a departure from previous interpretations. 

Jessice Buckley is an Oscar nominated film actress who just won a whole slew of other honors this past year for her performance in Women Talking. She's very in demand in the film world currently, so it's far from shocking she's not coming along. 

To be fair, Jordan stated in his Instagram post about leaving the show that his exit date has been planned since the very beginning. I imagine there would be a lot more gossip and hubub from other sources if that weren't the case. 

Do you think babies just magically appear? His wife has been pregnant since this show has gone into previews. I'm sure I do not have to explain how that could be a sensitive time for an inumberale amount of reasons. I'm glad the production gave him a cover.

Nominators and Tony voters are two seperate pools. Nominating comitte is roughly 50 people and Tony Voters are around 800. 

I thought nominators were invited after opening but not Tony voters?

There are over 800 Tony Voters, who live all over the country,  and they are not invited to see shows until after nominations are out. This means any category where a show that closed pre-May is in contention can't be voted on by most voters, leaving a small handful of people deciding the award. It was a huge problem last year with some awards only being voted on by an extremely small percentage of the voters. This was their solution. It was a smart choice.

Billie just had a small acting role on Amazon's "SWARM". She played a cult leader for an episode and gave a rather solid performance and even got some nice notices in official reviews. It certainly made me more interested in what else she could do acting-wise. 

 

I left Frozen at intermission. I saw Let It Go, that was enough for me frankly. 

I am a little more ashamed to admit I left KPOP at intermission. It was a very sparsely attended show and the majority of the audience were extremely not into it, with a select few trying to make up for it by overperforming their enjoyment. It was extremely uncomfortable. I stepped outside at intermission and never found my way back in.

"I assume one was A Strange Loop .  What was the other?  I assume Fun Home, with a lot less confidence that I am right."

I'm pretty sure Fun Home recouped. I believe the two are Strange Loop and Passion.
