Even if this did tour, they are so deep in a financial hole that I cannot imagine it would ever turn a profit. I just do not understand this. 

Yes, Paradise Square comes to mind. But it was of course produced by a convicted criminal. 
 

There should be security bonds with unions to ensure their members be paid, but those bonds need to be formally invaded and doing so is an involved process. 

On the upside, paychecks will continue to go out to those involved. …Presumably. 

The fact that the staging required an external balcony at all eliminated the majority of theaters it could even have gone into. Even without the safety risk, it was always going to be tough to make happen here. 

It wasn't a "stop and watch" event like this, played directly to the public crowds. The safety issue is legitimate but it was not the sole reason. New York is not London. 

Almost every single viable Broadway theater for the transfer is on a heavily trafficked street in a deeply congested area. Not true of the London Palladium.  Look at the photos of the crowds that gathered outside the Palladium- you'd be looking at street closures every single performance, 6 days a week, for months, on some of the busiest streets in the city. 

I don't know Hallelujah, Baby! at all- is the lead a good fit for Jasmine Amy Rogers? I just want to see her star continue to rise.

I had that thought as well but that's definitely... less of a coup. 

Schmigadoon being eligible for score is definitely the biggest surprise. I don't think it takes it over Two Strangers, but it may result in Schwartz receiving a respectful nomination for QoV to fill the fifth nom slot in the absence of any play score of note this year. 

Metcalf being ruled Featured for Salesman may mean we see a double nomination for her this year. 

The gun issue is merely one aspect of what made doing the balcony unlikely in NYC. A star singing in public in midtown Manhattan 8 times a week for months was always going to be a logistical nightmare. 

Lloyd confirms new staging for "Don't Cry for Me Argentina"

Producer2 said: "Is she capable of enjoying anything?"

She regularly praises performances and shows she likes. 

Every single person here knew exactly who call_me_jorge meant, ffs. 

Solow would be perfect casting.

Also: Andrew Lippa is not included in the listed credits for this, so this does seem to be the original version. 

I know the Desks are idiosyncratic but... Beau being tied for the most nominations is... surprising. 

Melissa25 said: "Wiseman’s key art for Kiss of the Spider Woman is terrific. The barbed wire-like twisted female torso with arms and legs extended is so clever. And I just love thefuchsia."

I was going to say: Wiseman's art for the season is really wonderful. These are better than a lot of the Broadway key art we've seen lately. 

Benjamin Button may as well be subtitled: “Obviously transferring to Broadway”
