And yet Groff starred in Merrily We Roll Along, one of the floppiest flops to ever flop. 

I'm not a fan of Passion but if it's being revived with stars like Erivo and Groff, it will do well. 

But the majority of speeches were not immediately shared on Instagram and many still haven’t been. And it looks like, over on the Tonys YouTube, they’re still adding speeches and Ali’s was uploaded before folks like Joshua Henry, Laurie Metcalf, and both Best Play and Best Musical. 
 

If this was an instance of everything being uploaded except Ali’s, it would be suspicious. But it’s not, at all. 

Considering colonization is an extremely longstanding practice carried out by a great number of societies throughout history and Bourzgui does not name any offender specifically (just as he does not name any particular billionaire specifically), it’s pretty clear he’s condemning the atrocious practice as a whole and not any one single offender even if he may have had them in mind. It is a very deliberately constructed speech. 

Great cast but wish they were in a better Shakespeare play than this one.

There’s no question that Ragtime is successful, but once it concluded its initially contracted run and entered into extensions, it also converted from being a nonprofit production to a commercial one and lost its financial advantages like lower salaries. Its costs have shot up substantially. (To say nothing of the fact that LCT has only one Broadway space and it is its main selling point). 

Ann Harada.

Looking at ticket availability this week and weekend for the major musicals, it looks like Ragtime is the only one selling out. Lost Boys, Jellicle, and Schmigadoon all have a lot of availability. If any of these shows saw a move in sales, it doesn’t seem substantial or immediate.

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.
