MORMON Tony Performance

Almost certainly a medley like Hamilton did for their anniversary. If you have Nikki M. James there you can't just do Hello or I Believe.

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 5/24/26

MHE will struggle to have the same kind of casting success as Hadestown has had to keep it fresh. They have found themselves in a position where they have a very limited pool of actors to pull from in terms of name recognition without getting raked over the coals on social media. I do not envy their position...

CHESS Sets June 21 Closing

A shame, I really enjoyed this production despite its glaring flaws. Here's hoping Hannah Cruz books a role where she gets to be on stage for more than half a show next.

I saw the first preview and it was embarrassingly awful. Some of the worst dialogue I've ever had the misfortune of sitting through. You might think from the plot description and cast list that this is about four girls bonding during their time in a music program, but you'd be wrong! It's actually about THREE girls bonding during their time in a music program, and one other character who is completely pointless and uninvolved with the story being told. Seriously, they couldn't

So jealous of everyone who gets to see this. Kuhoo Verma in a Lazours musical is like something my brain would come up with as I'm lying on my death bed and serotonin is flooding my brain one last time before I go.

Drama League Awards 2026
May 15 2026, 02:50:25 PM
Ragtime finally getting to compete with Jellicle Ball and getting both Revival and Direction seems like a good omen for them. I've been on the verge of switching my Tony predictions to the same winners and this helps... with the caveat that it IS the Drama League Awards. Anyone know offhand if they're more predictive in winners than they are in their insane nominees?

Who's taking Leading Actress in a Musical this year?

I've seen so many people say they think Andre is locked to win but I've seen no one say they personally think he should win. Mark me down as someone who will be baffled if he wins for this performance.

They're keeping this super tight to their chest if it's actually happening. All the people who tend to know about things have heard nothing about this coming back (in my experience). Without an act

The amount and diversity of events that various combinations of Ragtime's cast has been featured in during the past few months has been quite impressive. LCT isn't playing around.

MayAudraBlessYou2 said: "Nearly every major Tony nominated show got at least some kind of bump. But what's weird is the decrease for Fallen Angels. It's not by a super alarming amount, but it's still strange that a show that got so many nominations, including in the very competitive Revival of a Play category, actually fell by over $60K. Did Roundabout have some sort of special night(s) this past week that had a sizeable chunk of comps?

I mean the Outer Critics Circle Awards"

Dahl burrowing in, lashing out, and doubling down when challenged really strikes me as similar to modern writers like JK Rowling and Graham Linehan, who have devolved from creatives into full-time hatemongers addicted to social media. Roald Dahl would probably have tens of thousands of tweets arguing with random people on the internet if he were alive today.
It's somewhat unfortunate that this play really has nothing interesting to say about Israel/Palestine. It's not the point

I don't think it needs Score or Director to win Best Musical. It would probably need either featured actor/actress as well as the techs to win. My feeling is this is going to be a split the baby year, where they award multiple productions awards. If it wins Directo
