When Sam Eckmann of Gold Derby guested on this week's episode of the Broadway Breakdown podcast, he mentioned that he's hoping they hold off on an announcement until after this year's Tonys. He feels that if this gets announced before final voting closes, it would hurt Levy's chances of winning for Ragtime, thus they may just save their votes for next year. But then they discussed how that never works.

Lincoln Center Theater posted on their Instagram stories yesterday three Ragtime posters lined up in a row with "Tomorrow" placed above each of them. I wonder if they're teasing something about any of those possibilities.
Meanwhile, we're all still waiting for the live capture of the 25th anniversary concert to premiere. I've heard it's currently on hold because of the revival.

Actually, the first Wicked movie won 2 Oscars. The other being Best Production Design.

I don't know if this has anything to do with the new producers for this year's telecast or the new management in charge of Paramount (which owns CBS). If the latter, it certainly doesn't help that its CEO, David Ellison, happens to be an ally of Donald Trump.

Hopefully, it's 'The Day After That.'"
Per Bill Condon, “The Day After That”,"Dressing Them Up," and "Over the Wall" were eliminated from the script when he started writing the screenplay therefore were not part of the production at any time and were never filmed. That’s why no recorded deleted/cut songs exist."
The film will officially be given a physical media release thanks to Kino Lorber. It'll be available on 4K/Blu-Ray, and DVD on June 30th. https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/KISS-OF-THE-SPIDER-WOMAN-Gets-4K-Blu-ray-Release-from-Kino-Lorber-20260409

I actually would love to see him tackle Next to Normal.
Bill Condon has talked about how there's not a lot of stage musicals he thinks should be made into movies. To some extent, I do agree with him. Although in some cases, you need a real visionary to completely rethink it cinematically. Which is exactly what Rob Marshall accomplished with Chicago.
Lin has said that "I want to direct funky little musicals that no one else would make as a movie." As someone who personally finds Tick, Tick...BOOM! to be t
I saw someone recently say in the Gold Derby message boards that they're convinced Ragtime is a lock for the win. This person is usually on the money when it comes to their Tony predictions. They even called The Outsiders winning Best Musical from the moment they saw it in previews. As of now, I disagree with them regarding what's winning Best Musical Revival.

As I mentioned earlier, I can see Ragtime benefitting from how differently it hits now given the story's timely nature. I'm sure many would especially love to see the show itself finally win a Best Production award from the Tonys after losing out the previous two times it was in contention. But if it loses to Cats, it
