All I really want from the Tonys is for HwaBoon to be a co-presenter in some category or other.

I'm not convinced Buena Vista doesn't have legs. It's doing very well, keeps growing, and word of mouth is terrific. A Tony telecast spotlight will likely have impact for them as well.

I have no idea about its capitalization, but this should tour well and there is a market for this.

I loved the variety in this score at the Longacre, and I'm enjoying it even more listening to Part 1 of the cast recording. "Something from Nothing" is a wonderfully vibey song with a great hook. The only thing that bothers me about any of it is that Natalie Wood died after the events depicted in "Up to the Stars," but other than that anachronism it's wonderful.

It would surely get my vote for score, while I would still vote MHE for Best Musical.

I saw it from Orchestra O1 and my friend was right behind me in P1. We both thought the seats were great and didn't feel like we missed seeing anything. Only disadvantage is you're close to the street noise, but that's balanced by the fact that you can exit quickly at the end without getting in an audience traffic jam.

I peed next to Matt Damon pre-show at the Glenda Jackson King Lear a few years back. As he was washing his hands, someone said, "You're awesome!" He smiled and answered with a genuine-sounding, "Thanks, man."

Also saw Pedro Pascal and Glen Powell together at Stereophonic.

Honestly, you can’t anticipate crazy at a specific level.  This is life today. 

Getting Away With Murder, a flop play notable only because Stephen Sondheim co-wrote it. 

Lea was in tonight. And she was glorious. 

I saw it last night, and after reading the overall reviews and the word of mouth on here, I was very pleasantly surprised. Idina was in strong voice, the rest of the cast was solid, and the projection design was stunning. The songs are more vibes than actual fully-realized numbers, but there were effective moments. Could use a trim here and there, but I’m happy I got to see it. 

Was Lea back? Seeing it tonight. 

Seeing MHE on Tuesday and DO on Wednesday, so on Thursday, I will settle this! 
 

(Kidding, of course.)

Seeing it this coming Thursday, so breathing a sigh of relief they are keeping the April Thursday matinees. 

Seeing it on Wednesday. I've done some reading on the true events it's based on, and really interested  to see how this creative team has shaped that for the musical stage.

When does the press embargo for this lift? A week from Thursday? :)

I'm curious as to how 40 Othello tickets went unsold. Did they just hold the premium pricing too close to performance time? Surely there was a way to unload those.

That’s the day of the Tonys?

I'm seeing 10 shows on my spring trip next month, and this is the one I'm most excited about. Glad I went ahead and bought tickets early so I had more choice to balance price and location.
