I don’t have an answer to the question but this is why I’ve started going back to physical media. It’s becoming very hard to rely on digital platforms. 

Every time I see this title I think it’s an adaptation of 2002’s infamous Guy Ritchie/Madonna bomb Swept Away.

It may not reflect the will of the people, but it’s successfully being done anyway and showing up as law. 

I’d say a show about people being held hostage by those in charge withholding information and forcing their points of view is very relevant.

No, they lined up all the co-producers when it was time for the category and then shuffled the winners onto a platform. Jackson McHenry of Vulture took this video:

I’m not sure this is the standard to which we should be holding pregnant women. 

I feel like this isn’t uncommon for Tony week, right? Off the top of my head I remember Ben Platt, Josh Groban (Great Comet), Sara Ramirez in Spamalot. I’m sure it’s a tough time on the body and voice. 

I think the Tonys are always plagued with sound problems. It’s a real issue for a show whose main draw is musical performances.

What a***he is.

It’s not unusual to hand an assistant your phone, especially when you may be wearing an outfit that doesn’t appear for its easy concealment. It’s a shame his speech wasn’t in the teleprompter like it should have been. 

Looks like it’s found an Off-Broadway home:

From Playbill: 

“The Broadway engagement of Gerard Alessandrini’s Forbidden Broadway may have been postponed, but the latest edition of the musical parody, Forbidden Broadway: Merrily We Stole A Song, has found a home Off-Broadway.

Previews will begin August 23 at Theater 555 prior to an official opening September 12.”

For me, it was probably Roundabout's The Cherry Orchard from some years back (with Diane Lane, innocent). Just a full nothing of a production: no direction, no coherence, several very good actors completely adrift. I'd rather something be bad in an ambitious or interesting way than a complete and utter bore. Truly the most unexciting night of theatre I think I've had on Broadway.

Guess Hairspray is out for you. And La Cage aux Folles, and Kinky Boots, and Hedwig and the Angry Inch, and Rocky Horror, and...

For future reference, I did this once with Some Like It Hot and, before I purchased, I called Telecharge and they were able to sell me just one.

I hope you're all happy."
