Although I will die on the hill of "the Drama Desks/League/OCC/etc awards should not be relied on as predictors of the Tonys," I do think the fact that Two Strangers is picking up absolutely nothing is not a great sign. 

It actually may be doable if you don't mind cutting it close. You can book it to the 7 at Hudson Yards- about a 10 min walk- and get off at 42nd. It would take about 20-25 mins.

I still don't understand why they didn't do more stunt casting.."

Because the show's principal tracks are all demanding, either physically, vocally, or both (arguably with the exception of Ernest, but that's not a role you want a big name in). 

Closing on Pride feels appropriate.

I don't think Paul Tazewell actually said what she won for, just that she won. She did win for Jellicle, though. 

It was very sweet to learn that Tazewell is the one who interviewed and accepted her into NYU. A nice full-circle moment to have both of them win last night (and one that could very well be repeated on the Tonys). 

I was there tonight and I have to say: nobody got a bigger audience response than Qween Jean, who gave an absolute barn burner of an acceptance speech and looked phenomenal doing it. The Tonys aren’t ready

Never going to happen."

It’s BroadwayFlash.

So are you saying Cats: The Jellicle Ball still has a chance here?"

Yes, of course it does. Why wouldn't it? Because it didn't win the Drama League award? 

Nothing has materially changed. These awards are not indicators of how the very different, more diverse, industry-focused, and much larger group of Tony voters will go. 

The two-disc OBCs of Sweeney and Phantom. Something about a score needing two discs felt very special. 

You are literally the only person I have encountered online or offline who perceives any sort of conservative theme or undertone in Schmigadoon’s marketing. 

“We stepped on a rake and, due to circumstances outside of our control, it flipped up and smacked us in the face.”

This is all just an unfortunate, graceless way for Liza's last years to play out.

I don't know how long it will run- it's doing well but it also hasn't been a hot ticket. And it's not an easily castable show like Little Shop that lends itself to bigger names. But it has fantastic word of mouth, which helps a lot. I don't know anybody who has seen it who hasn't adored it. 

Performances are expected to resume next week. 

I think it's Levy's to take with a very slim chance of a Marla upset. Everybody else has the nomination as their reward.
