Nop, neither do good reviews, they only help to not make things worse; as in being the only thing a turist needs to convince themselves to not go to the show.

She dies chased and crushed by the giant in the last revival, which I think it's great. You know; very good and all that you had your realization in the woods but there's a lady giant seeking revenge for her husband's death and calamity doesn't wait for character deve

Good reviews have been not moving the needle for a very long time, has been said in every thread related in some way or another to grosses.

"but I get the desire to try holding on and searching for a tweak that will turn things around."
I think someone mentioned it in a grosses thread but that tweak may be letting Manilow himself play Old Rabbi for a few weeks, lol.

It Seems Like Best Featured Actor/Actress in a Musical=Best Song Performance

Interestingly, mentioning Patti LuPone made me remember that Jennifer Simmard was also nominated with her and through sheer acting alone for her one scene. The original Sarah was also nominated but, Elaine Stritch was up for LEADING instead of featured (as was April...really), instead Marta was also nominated in featured, going along with this tony-for-best-solo commentary. The original Amy was not nominated, though. Also, at least Joanne has The Little Things You Do Together and a lot of zin

Favorite company cast

My favorite one is the 2006 John Doyle revival, the minimalism puts the focus on the performances and on multiple rewatches I think is the best all around, although I've always thought all broadway productions have had great casts (pending the 1995 one).
The 2006 has a peculiar way to be in their version of the characters that I like a lot: Sarah's more passive-agressive yet subtle and calm demeanor, Susan's accent (lol), a more strong focus on the power dynamics of David o

Best & Worst Best Book of a Musical Tony Winners?

Though already mentioned a little bit above, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is one of the best, we take it for granted now but there was a 95% chance that a musical about a frigging regional spelling bee contest simply ended being a complete uninterested disaster. It's amazing how it puts the focus in the actual spelling part of the show and doesn't take the route of something like Chess, while also letting character interaction and development happen between all the jokes

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 5/7/23

Honestly, even if Kimberly Akimbo wins the 8 categories it is nominated on I don't see it as the kind of show to even surpass 1 million weekly grosses, but as with Spring Awakening I hope that doesn't mean it won't become a runaway hit.
