Profile for Jeff Tupolski

I can’t see Matthew Morrison doing as well with Just in Time as Groff, who I think in general is just more talented but also has the kind of innate likability to carry this kind of project. Morrison is talented but I don’t think he has that kind of charisma. He’s always felt like a guy had all the pieces of a star in place but lacked the it factor that truly makes one.

Happy Birthday to a legend taken far too soon. 

To be honest, I forgot about Cripple of Inishmaan when I brought up Pillowman. Now that I’m reminded of Radcliffe’s prior McDonagh work, I’ll double down on wanting more.

edit: and without having seen a thing of his performance, I feel confident assuming Letts was indeed perfect in that role

Not sure why, but the first that came to mind was The Pillowman. Maybe it’s cause he plays exhausted incredibly well, but I think he’s got the charisma and intensity to be quite great as Katurian. I also think he’s willing enough to play second fiddle that a great performance as Michal could be on the cards, and I could even see him make for a fine Tupolski when he’s older.

I hope David Mamet reads online forums to see a discussion of his show turn into one about Oh Mary instead

I don’t think Culkin’s winning. Even if he has the plum part, I see more and more people saying Burr’s the standout.

Though right now I have Conrad Ricamora winning, but that’s a different show and different subject.

Any standout performances? How’s Gabriel Ebert? I’ve always been a fan and would love to see him back in the Tony race again.

Just more horrible news. Ken was an electric talent. May he live on forever scaring new kids every Halloween and Christmas. And hopefully more and more of them grow up to discover the rest of his work like I did.

I’m just heartbroken. Gavin was an incredible person and of the best actors on Broadway. I can just hardly believe we lost him in his prime, and I’m crying thinking of all the years of his life he, his loved ones, and this community won’t see. He was exceptional and beloved, and I just hope he knew it at the end.

I get that these shows run long, but Stereophonic not being allowed to perform is ridiculous. It’s the most Tony nominated play of all time, and in terms of acclaim, it leaves every nominated musical this year but Merrily We Roll Along in the dust. The Tonys being unwilling to spotlight a number from a show that’s considered a genuine contender to win Best Original Score is just dumb.

Think I said before during the initials rumors, butshe’s my current top choice for Louise. Then round out the main trio with Brian d’Arcy James."

I actually would love to see Danny Burstein play Herbie."

You’re making me waiver on my choice. I love me some Burstein.
