I remember watching those televised segments of the nominated plays one year and it was horrible. How can you get the "meat" of the play, in a 4 to 5 minute (being generous with the time) segment?

Last night's telecast was spectacular. I didn't enjoy The Rascals segment, but that was my only issue.
NPH, Lin Manuel and their stable of writers do get the joy of the theatre and why it entertains millions of folks, all over the world.
Congratulations to all of this season's winners.

Love it and I agree.
I just saw the show, again over Memorial Day weekend.
I LOVE the OBR and this new recording is right up there with the original.
The revival recording is amazing, fresh, clear, crisp and ALIVE.

I saw this, over two weeks ago and I LOVED it. I've already purchased tickets to see it again in May, when my sister's back in town from San Francisco.
Just an amazing production and Patina Miller's FABULOUS!

I think and feel (along with hope) that this revival is going to be fantastic. I've already purchased my ticket.
eta: I'm not sure about a wig for Cerveris. I think a bald Juan Peron could work for this revival.

The producers of the show haven't officially announced anything yet, but one of the actors from the show, Jake Silbermann posted a message of thanks to his fans for their support on his FB page.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000006690503
"Wants to thank the wonderful fans who have come to see Dracula already as well as those who have purchased tickets but who, from all indications, will not get to see the show. I want to apologize for that. Thank you all for your continued support and stay tuned..."
"Time to finish Dracula in Style. Tomorrow brings new things... Thanks again for all the wonderful wishes out there."

More behind the scenes drama, surrounding this production.

Financially, the show was in trouble from the start. Alexander Morr, the 76-year-old producer who managed Broadway shows years ago, came up with a budget fit for a show produced in, say, 1975.
"It was the craziest thing you ever saw," a source says. "We just laughed, it was so far off the mark."
"Dracula" came together at the last minute, and the designers say they scrambled to build sets, buy costumes, create wigs and gather props. They laid out their own money -- in some cases thousands of dollars -- but when they tried to get reimbursed, they say Morr stonewalled them.
"When I confronted him, he told me, 'Sometimes in life, you just have to bend over and take it,' " says fight coordinator Sordelet.

No, I don't think that Ms. Birch left the show intentionally.

I was only there for 8 hours, but I love living in NYC.
If I die tomorrow, I've had the pleasure of witnessing Elaine Stritch, perform, "Ladies Who Lunch" LIVE on stage, over 150 musicians and singers pay tribute and homage to a GENIUS by the name of Stephen Sondheim AND watching Joss Whedon turn into a complete and utter Broadway SQUEEING fanboy, while on stage with the man himself.
It was fabulous. Fabulous. FABULOUS. I was exhausted by the time I left

The debate was a fabulous and funny success. Rick Lyons' very creative and quick with creating the Kerry and Bush puppets. Kerry serenading Bush with "If You Were Gay" was so funny. Hilarious. I can't wait to see the photos from the debate.

The benefit last night was really terrific. JCM and PC were fantastic as the "First Lady" and "Angel". I definitely need to find out more information on this work.
I saw Edie Falco, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Randy Harrison in the audience.

I wish I could go to the closing night, but I'm going to the closing night performance of The Caretaker.
I did attend the Saturday evening performance and I heard about Adam's injury. I hope he's fine for tonight's show.
Last night I had the pleasure of seeing Susan Egan, Adam Pascal, Blair Brown, Tony Roberts, The cast of Cabaret and the incredible Vance Avery perform in the Roundabout Theatre Company's production of Cabaret.
I was amazed at what I witnessed last night.
