Looks like there's a delay with the announcement.

witchoftheeast2 said: "The downward spiral for Wicked is insane to see. But I guess people are Wicked'ed out with the movie. LOL to people who say a movie helps a shows ticket sales."The first movie certainly did though.

SidebySidebyLogan said: "Wonder every year why it doesn't show up in the season announcement for Encores."I read in a separate thread from a year ago that a producing team has apparently been holding onto the rights for the last few years, with the hopes that the right creatives could be assembled for a full scale revival.https://forum.broadwayworld.com/thread/City-of-Angels-Revival-WHEN--#5517790

EDSOSLO858 said: "I have it on good authority that DAMN YANKEES, starring Neil Patrick Harris and Julianne Hough, will be officially confirmed for a spring 2027 Broadway run on Tuesday. The two of them were apparently at Yankee Stadium for a photo shoot a number of weeks ago."I was coming here to mention that NPH and Hough are both going to be on the Today show this Wednesday. Looks like an announcement is definitely coming within the next couple days.

Next Best Picture recently did a podcast review of the live capture. The whole thing is only available exclusively on Patreon. Although you can catch a preview of it on YouTube.

Fred Mason said: "She also workshopped Kiss of the Spider Woman a few years ago, I wonder if she could be doing it at City Center, is it the same creative team that did the workshop?"The workshop for that was directed and choreographed by Andy Blankenbuehler, who is going to be at the helm for the upcoming production at Encores!.

GiantsInTheSky2 said: "It’s interestingthat people saying she didn’t deserve her Oscar haven’t followed up with who they think should have won that year.Seriously, look at that lineup. There really isn’t much competition to argue for. The rest of the films and performances nominated were fine but forgettable."There are people out there who do genuinely prefer Kirsten Dunst in The Power of the Dog. I've also seen some put in a good word for Jessie Buckley in The Lost Daughter.

Rentaholic2 said: "There were 10 nominees for Best Picture that year, several of which would have been contenders in any year (because of covid, many of them were basically released on streaming, with a limited theatrical run just to be award eligible). So it really wasn't considered a weak year in that sense. And her category was certainly competitive - she was up against the likes of Judi Dench and Kirsten Dunst (who many thought was long overdue for some awards recognition)."I remember ear...

MemorableUserName said: "For those criticizing DeBose for her career not taking off the say it supposedly should...a reminder that Rita Moreno, legendary career that she ultimately had, has openly discussed how she struggled after WSS. She wasn't getting opportunities and offers. The roles (especially non-stereotypical ones) for Latin women weren't there. Similarly, are there really roles that DeBose would have been suited for that she missed out on? Or is her supposed lack of success simply ...

Fun Fact: When David Hyde Pierce did Ask a Star for Broadway.com during his run in Curtains, he revealed that he actually did the show as Charlie Brown when he was in junior high school. Except he was only in Act I as they wanted to cast as many people as they could find. @3:24

Dolly80 said: "She should never have won the Oscar - and the other awards. She’s a perfectly competent Broadway hoofer, but she’s not a star. She doesn’t have a good enough voice."I at least agree with the former. While she was good in West Side Story, I personally found plenty of other performances (including those who weren't even nominated) more worthy of the Best Supporting Actress Oscar that year.There's also this supposed curse of how winning an Oscar at a young age (especially for your...

Kad said: "jlindsey865 said: "Is it typical to workshop a well established title like Sweet Charity?"It's become increasingly common to workshop basically any major production, revival or new."Not to mention that DeBose previously participated in a workshop for a Kiss of the Spider Woman revival a few years ago.

Alex Kulak2 said: "OhHiii said: "Ugh. I know I may be in a minority here but I find Ariana’s work (outside of WSS) to be wholly unremarkable. That’s coming from someone with 0 Oscars and 0 Tony noms, but I don’t find her to be a convincing leading lady by any stretch. Much less a ticket seller."The main problem is that her career trajectory has made no sense. She's the first true triple-threat to break into the mainstream in a long time, and since WSS, she's been in Schmigadoon, that Disney a...

After seeing DeBose perform a medley of songs from the show during Debbie Allen's tribute at the Kennedy Center Honors, I've been waiting for her to take on the role.

Normally, I use this series to take a deep dive into all of the nominees from any previous acting race. However, we’re coming off of this year’s hotly contested battle for Best Musical Revival. A race that saw a face-off between a scrappy rethinking of a long-running hit (Cats) and a big lavish staging of a classic (Ragtime). Both of which were highly acclaimed, very competitive for the win, and are about to end their Broadway runs. Thus, I thought it’d be a real juicy one to dive into.Tonys ...

Imagine Jamie Lloyd taking this on...

What about Jessie Buckley for Dot?
