I would love for Hadestown to perform Chant, although I know it is unlikely. It showcases each of the nominated performers, alongside the incredibly strong ensemble, and if they are able to recreate their set, shows how intricate the direction by Chavkin is. It sets the show up as a Modern Myth fairly well (most people know who Hades is, and what the underworld is, and Chant illustrates the semi steampunk version of it in the show).

I'm still holding out hope for a Sher helmed revival of The Sound of Music - with the rise of neo nationalism in the US it is certainly in the "hold a mirror to modern society" vein that Sher's previous R&H revivals have been, and it hasn't been on Broadway in 20 years.

Definitely a fair point, and one I agree with! I’m compiling a list of the Actor/Singer’s then, under that train of thinking.

I figured it was a situation like that! Do you happen to have a link to that video? I would love to take a look.

Yikes. She has publicly expressed regret over playing it the first time too, and made it clear that she knows she should not be playing non caucasian characters.

I was looking through the photos from the Anastasia Gypsy Robe ceremony, and I realized that Jennifer Smith both didn't get the robe, and was photographed on crutches at the event.

Does anyone know what happened to her/if that is why the honor went to the next most seasoned member, Shina Ann Morris? I'm assuming that is the reason but I'm surprised that I didn't see any talk about it last year.
