Itwas not helped by that performance and, historically, shows have not been boosted by wins only in the categories in which they won. ."

...where else would a show win if not in the categories in which they won? 

I think a third season is more likely than a stage production of Schmicago, to be honest- not saying that it's particularly likely at all, either, mind you. Schmigadoon has yet to prove itself financially successful and even with its wins, I am extremely doubtful it will be (to say nothing of the fact that it feels like a very perfunctory Best Musical winner)

She's a "get up there and do it" director because she has little to no actual directing experience (outside of having a choreographer move lots of people in community & church shows)"

I know your whole schtick on here is ax-grinding against directors you don't like for whatever personal reasons you refuse to acknowledge, but this is objectively untrue. What the hell is your deal, lady? 

I can’t imagine that the subject matter alone would have caused Jacobson to drop out so abruptly- she had plenty of time to object to it when she read the script, signed on, and then went through rehearsals.

…have posts in this thread been deleted? Because nothing here is aligning with what you’re saying other than Brody posting his actual headshot.

Some like to cite The Outsiders here but I don't really see how it can be reasonably argued that it was any more appealing to out-of-town or touring voters than Hell's Kitchen. 

I'm sure his now established record for these lawsuits is certainly going to make theaters and arts institutions so eager to hire him. 

I do not understand the Glee connection being made to this particular show. "Let's put the biggest names from Glee into [title of show]!" feels like fevered fan dream casting from 2009. 

Paulson's annual Tony voter survey (175 of 850 voters surveyed, just shy of 20%) is in!

Schmigadoon has the edge with Lost Boys as a possible spoiler; revival remains too close to predict but Jellicle Ball may have a slight advantage.

Gift link here.

If the name Kevin Lynch sounds familiar, he’s the guy who sued Playwrights Horizons over its BIPOC Night discounted tickets. 

Two Strangers has been the only new musical this season to be consistently hitting or surpassing its weekly break even point thanks to its tiny cast. Even without major Tony wins, I can’t imagine it closing so quickly after the awards. 

My guess is it'll get taken down overnight with absolutely no acknowledgment. 

I mean, it’s not quite Paris Hilton in Mame but… stacking the cast with big names sort of cuts against what the show is explicitly about. 

And the book would definitely need to be updated. It was full of mid-00s cultural references and sensibility. Even the concept of rushing to get a show into a major NY theater festival is (sadly) dated now. 

It's not unusual for accounts to be created at very early discussions just to lock down the name.

He may not be winning for director, but it’s pretty likely he’ll be taking home one for Best Lighting Design as the credited co-designer.
