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.

This review is dead-on. The show sadly isn’t the big Best Musical front-runner we’ve been waiting for. It can’t decide what it is actually about after going in 5 different directions. The music is bland, they needed major song cu
I actually recently caught up with the original film on Tubi just last week. I found it pretty good overall led by such a great performance from Jessie Buckley.

If this was 20 years ago were big, feel-good IP-driven crowdpleasers (like The Producers, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Hairspray, Spamalot, and Jersey Boys) dominated, maybe. I'd still give Two Strangers the edge since it’s the only completely original musical in contention. We’ve seen how snobby voters have been in r
