Yeah, there has to be wiggle room for world premieres, as it's often the case that a piece's world premiere is still a work-in-progress. Manahatta, for instance, actually premiered in 2014 at a Public Lab and has had several productions in the intervening years, including at Yale Rep in 2020, which were all aimed at further developing the piece before it came back to the Public for a full run this season.

It is wild to me that Playbill started posting all photos so severely downscaled in size and resolution. You have photos by talented photographers like Jenny Anderson and Matt Murphy rendered almost pointless.

One of the voting bodies- cannot remember which- included a statement with their nominations saying that Walk on Through did not make itself eligible for awards. 

Coming out of tech into previews while continuing rehearsals into opening and then directly into the awards press junket is pretty brutal, and I imagine even more so on younger performers who likely have never experienced anything like it before.

Bad time to be out when Tony voters will be trying to see her and don’t have much time to do so.

That post predates Six opening on Broadway- I’m pretty sure it even predates Six announcing a transfer- it was never about the production moving theaters, it was about where the production was looking to open. 

The idea of turning a part like Schub into a role for a name like Lane is very odd to me. This is definitely something I’d file under, “I’ll believe it when I see it.”  I’d like to be surprised but there’s enough here that makes me skeptical.

You’re the one who brought up his reviews unprompted, child.

His performance was very pointedly panned by NY Mag and Time Out, barely acknowledged by Jesse Green, and got a slew of mixed notices besides. 

There will absolutely be some bristling at a play being nominated for Best Score and suggestion that it's somehow a lesser accomplishment because it's a play and not a musical- I've already seen it, despite the fact that the score is overwhelmingly praised and the category is very explicitly not Best Original Score of a Musical.

I guess since Babs finally dropped Gypsy, Glenn decided to take up the delusion torch.

This really, really feels like a year in which a play's score is truly competitive with musical scores and may even win Best Score over them.

Recent winners include Schmigadoon’s “Corn Puddin” and WandaVision’s “Agatha All Along” so it’s not totally far fetched. However I do think it’s a much weaker song than either of those. 

Heart’s massive flash sale is clearly a last ditch effort to build buzz and more word of mouth. But right now, all attention is on the Tony nominees. I really cannot imagine it still being around come Memorial Day. 

I haven’t seen the production since the original cast pre-pandemic- have subsequent Audreys kept Tammy Blanchard’s idiosyncratic take on the character as being somewhat… drugged? 

This is a great list, and just bums me out that the decision was made to withdraw Here We Are from all awards consideration. I think there were quite a number of elements in it that deserved to be honored.

I think Huss just means he's quite tall.

I don’t even think hearthemsing22 knows why or what they’re arguing.
