The OP is obviously not very well-versed on Broadway matters."
But they think they are.

Question about Pippin's Theo Ending and Deaf West May 9
2023, 09:40:33 PM
I saw the Deaf West production at the Mark Taper Forum and am pretty sure it had the Theo ending. I don't think I've ever seen a production of the show that used the original ending.

JLP and Tina weren't nominated for Best Actor..."
True! They were in the midst of the design categories when I posted that for what it's worth.

Oh god the condition of those band books. And the actor books too. Spent a week with an actor trying to figure out how to muscle memory a melody that went from G up to an E then back down to a B before one of us spotted that it wasn’t an E, it was an A written so sloppily that the flag on top looked like the notehead and the actual notehead was almost imperceptible. It was a fun show but a nightmare to actually rehearse.

Let’s applaud the ushers for not trying to reprimand someone for breaking theater rules and committing harassment ‘cause technically they don’t have to!!!

I have never known any musician to be as much of a dick concerning their knowledge of music as you are. The vast majority of pit players, rehearsal pianists, and teachers I've worked with are low-key, pleasant to engage with, generally happy to share or teach, and don't brag about their knowledge (or go out of their way to call themselves a musician as often as you do -- I thought there was nothing more pretentious than referring to oneself as an artist, but then I suppose I

Right, because nobody actually enjoys any other musical about a historical figure.
Not that you don't enjoy any other musical about a historical figure. Not even that you can't see why other people enjoy any other musical about a historical figure. But that no one could enjoy any other musical about a historical figure, despite overwhelming evidence that people actually do? You self-righteous dick.

Will The Color Purple be the first revival of a musical from the 2000's? May 15

No, it didn't. The Last Five Years opened in Chicago (I think that's where the first production was?) in 2001 and Off-Broadway in 2002.

You'd think given all of the debate and analysis in response to the drivel After Eight posts, it'd be a little more forgiving.

What was the most shocking Tony Win/loss ever? Mar 18
2013, 01:57:59 AM
"Nearly every other Tony that evening did not include best book for a musical. That's an important one. It was won by Two Gentlemen."
Because Best Score, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Choreography, Best Scenic Design, Best Costume Design, and Best LIghting Design really don't amount to much of anything. Musicals always win seven Tonys but not Best Musical.
And Best Book of a Musical always goes to the Best Musical, just like On the Twentieth Century, Woman of the Year, Dre
