Post-Tony Thoughts

Jun 13, 2026 — 10:45:43 AM

I haven’t seen Schmigadoon yet. Going tonight actually. But I genuinely loved The Lost Boys. It might help that I was a teen when the movie came out, but I thought the show was a blast. I was rooting for it to win. But let’s see how I feel after tonight’s show!

 

This thread did remind me that I’m still mad that Memphis, which I truly hated, beat Fela and American Idiot. Both jukebox musicals, sure, but vastly superior artistically.

SLAM FRANK to return off-Broadway, Fall 2026

Jun 12, 2026 — 11:34:49 AM

I've heard so many opinions about it that I'm tempted to go see it myself. But every set of tickets I look at from Row H and back is being labeled limited view. I feel like that must be a mistake, yes?

100/110, and I juuuuuuust realized why I got one of the T/F questions wrong. So close! :)

Who's taking Leading Actress in a Musical this year?

May 14, 2026 — 3:58:12 PM

Levy would have my vote with the caveat that I haven't yet seen Chase in Schmigadoon.  I do love Marla Mindelle, and I think she's a hoot in Titanique. I would be delighted for her if she won. But Levy digs deep as Mother and turns in a performance that I found gorgeous.

 

I had the opportunity to see Marin Mazzie perform the role twice, and she was incredible. She may still be my favorite Mother, but that doesn't diminish what Caissie Levy is doing with th

Who Is Your One Personal MUST WIN Tony Award This Year?

May 6, 2026 — 12:09:40 PM

I have strong opinions on tons of the races, but I agree with the first respondent: the nominee who HAS to win for me (and who I believe is a sure thing) is Joshua Henry. I very sincerely appreciated all of the nominees in the category, and in another year, I would be happy with probably any of them winning. But Henry HAS to win.

OFFICIAL TONY AWARDS ELIGIBILITY 2025-26

Apr 29, 2026 — 2:52:03 PM

Brad and Janet as leads in Rocky Horror is very surprising to me!

 

Am I right that because Alden Ehrenreich isn't above title and nothing was noted, that means he's officially Featured for Becky Shaw?

 

And I'm happy that there's enough new content for Schmigadoon to be eligible for Score!

Pulitzer Prize 2026

LooseTapScrews said: "I can see Initiative by Else Went as a finalist."

I would looooooove to see Initiative get praise. It really was a big, beautiful play. 

 

And to the person above asking if Well, I'll Let You Go is worth seeing: yes! It's really beautiful, and Quincy Tyler Bernstine is giving an astonishing performance. 

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 4/19/26

Apr 21, 2026 — 5:38:16 PM

Also, I know it’s pretty beloved on here, but Two Strangers doesn’t have the praise or word-of-mouth that Gentleman’s Guide or Maybe Happy Ending did, does it? Overall, reviews were mixed-to-positive. And while I certainly know people who loved it, I also know people who were unmoved by it. MHE definitely seemed more lovingly received on a whole, but it’s hard to know with things as subjective as this.

 

Also, coming off of Schmigadoon&rsqu

Drama League Awards 2026

Apr 20, 2026 — 12:12:33 PM

For me, best performance is a race between Joshua Henry and Laurie Metcalf's double duty, and I find myself leaning ever so slightly more to Henry. 

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 4/12/26

Apr 14, 2026 — 3:03:36 PM

I'm very interested to see what happens to Chess's grosses when Lea Michele leaves. I'm a bit surprised they're even replacing her given how much they dropped when she was out. I like JoJo a lot, but does she have enough pull?

 

I'm also wondering if we might be nearing the end of the road for Death Becomes Her. The numbers aren't especially bad, but when you factor in what sound like incredibly high running costs, they could be in trouble.

THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW Previews

Apr 8, 2026 — 8:25:30 AM

Also caught it last night. A bit devastated to miss Evans, but Soileau was terrific in his first outing as Frank. 
 

Overall, I was mixed on the cast. Dratch, Durand, and Rivera, I found terrific. Lewis and Rodriguez, both of whom I quite like, were less effective for me. 
 

It’s an enjoyable production. Will I spend serious bucks to go back and try to catch Evans? Possible, though I’m not certain. Will say that the callouts were moderat

Lead Actress in a Play 2026

Apr 2, 2026 — 8:11:29 AM

There are several plays I haven’t seen yet (Proof, Joe Turner, The Balusters, Fear of 13), but based on what I HAVE seen, my top 3 are Manville, Metcalf, and Flood. I don’t think either of the latter two are locks for various reasons, but I did find both to be extraordinary. 
 

Much as I love Carrie Coon, Bug is a pretty divisive show. I would guess that she’s getting nominated, but I don’t realistically think she’s going to be the winner he

Ray Ray came in with the guitar in its case. Sonny opened it, and my sense was that either he expected a weapon OR they were going to use it to carry cash, but the guitar was in there. Which leaves unanswered questions but addresses the mechanics of how the g

Plays You Hope Get Revived

All that Yazz said: "The Skriker - Caryl Churchill

the Royal Exchange Manchester Uk production was one of THE defining theatrical memories of my life!

More Caryl Churchill revivals period. It hasn't been THAT long since either played NY, but I'd love another Top Girls or Cloud 9. Or maybe it HAS been that long, and I'm just old and have lost perspective. :)

I hope that some day we get to see August: Osage County with Amy Morton as Violet!

PROOF takes Booth Theatre; Samira Wiley and Jin Ha Join Cast

Mar 17, 2026 — 1:04:13 PM

Wishing Wiley well. She was terrific when I saw her in Intimate Apparel at the Donmar Warehouse. 

 

But obviously, we're going to be in incredible hands. It's pretty incredible how consistent Young's appearances on Broadway have become. And she's been amazing in every show.
