Add me to the list for Sydney Lucas, but I also hope Beth Malone gets nominated. What a captivating performance, and such an incredible cast!

Nicest or favorite Broadway Theater. Jan 6

I love the Booth and Richard Rodgers the most, but I've never been a fan of the Imperial. It's beautiful but the rows of seats are so close together and uncomfortable.

I hope she gets to go on soon. I'd love to hear her "Always Starting Over."

Understudies:biggest disappointments/best surprises Sep 17
2014, 04:20:08 PM
A week after winning the Tony, James Monroe Iglehart was out of Aladdin for the weekend. Michael James Scott was on, and he was phenomenal. He's just as talented as Iglehart, if not better!

Embarrasing Broadway moments. Aug 15
2014, 10:45:14 PM
Not sure if it qualifies as embarrassing since I'm sure the audience didn't really notice (although it was strange) but when I saw "Nice Work if You Can Get It," Jennifer Laura Thompson made her entrance in one scene with a green glow-stick attached to the side of her gown. She noticed it midway through and tossed it on the couch behind her. Later when the female ensemble entered and sat on the couch, one of them grabbed it and held onto it while the others looked on and tried not to laugh. It w

re: Best Stage Door Experiences Jul 27

My stage door experience after seeing "Peter and the Starcatcher" was one of my favorites. Celia Keenan-Bolger and Adam Chanler-Berat are truly the sweetest, most genuine people. I also met Laura Osnes that day (she had seen the show as well) and she was just as lovely!

Many people on here called this casting after Allen was voted off The Voice. Very excited that this is happening for her! She'll be terrific.

Jersey Boys movie Jun 21
2014, 11:12:46 AM
It was a packed house of senior citizens at the 4 PM showing I went to yesterday as well. Overall, I felt the film could have been a lot better. However the audience I was with absolutely LOVED it. Laughing, gasping at serious moments, clapping after the musical numbers, etc.
***SPOILERS***
To me, one of the most exciting moments is the finale of "Who Loves You," which was cut down to only a few lines. That was pretty disappointing. Something else that was weird

James Monroe Iglehart out of Aladdin? Jun 17

James Monroe Iglehart out of Aladdin? Jun 17
2014, 10:58:02 AM
I went to the Saturday matinee (6/14) and saw Michael James Scott as well. James was also out on that Friday, too. He tweeted that he was attending the graduations of his nieces that weekend, so that's why he was out. He should be returning today but I can't say for sure.

Awkward Stage Door Moments Jun 13
2014, 11:42:17 AM
I was right against the barrier at the stage door of Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike. When Sigourney Weaver came out, naturally people started pushing through the crowd to get closer to her. One woman in particular pushed past me and said "I love your children's books!" to Sigourney. She paused for a moment, looked at me, turned to the woman and said, "I've never written any books." The woman argued with her, "Yes you did, your children's books." Sigourney replied, "I think you have me mista

ALWAYS STARTING OVER - viable as a single ? Jun 4
2014, 06:05:35 PM
I'm really hoping she sings "Always Starting Over" at the Tonys. "Learn to Live Without" is beautiful but it's not right for the broadcast in my opinion.

NY Times - 5 Tony nominees perform May 29

"To Build a Home" is breathtaking a cappella. I wish I could have seen that performance live. Kelli was stunning, as always, and so was James Monroe Iglehart!

Most Mediocre Season (...in a long time)? May 17
2014, 12:17:19 AM
I agree that this has been a very mediocre season, which is strange because going into it, I was truly excited about it. Looking back, really the only production I enjoyed as a whole was The Glass Menagerie (regretfully, I missed Fun Home)

Idina out second act May 16
2014, 12:18:20 AM
Yes, Jenn said before the out-of-town tryout that she chose not to be listed as Idina's cover in the Playbill. I would absolutely love to see her take on the role. It'd be really exciting!

PalJoey, the only word that even can be used is "astonishing!" Truly, I am speechless. Thank you for posting this!

So who do you want to win? Apr 29
2014, 10:33:42 AM
Really hoping that this will be Jessie Mueller's year. And I wouldn't complain about a tie between Cherry and Audra, either!
Also, James Monroe Iglehart for Featured would be such a great win.
