Just bought a ticket for May 8, really think this could be the next winner of the Tony.


Universal's WICKED Films - News & Discussion Thread
 Nov 5 2025, 09:06:59 AM

I saw the movie and really liked, but then again I was a fan of the first part.

The fact that a 50 minute second act was turned into a 2h movie helps to bring some solutions, but also expose some problems.

Aside from a gorgeous ''Thank Goodness'', the fact that we have to deal with ''Wonderful'' and Elphaba's new solo doesn't help because I'm not necessarily a fan of this animal subplot.

But once we get this trio in action every

People didn't wish her any harm, her fandom is great, people were just upset that didn't happened.

Her ''don't wish danger on us'' was not necessary, Grande has just been lacking attention on Brazil (her third, I guess, biggest market) and people got frustrated.

The Distinctive Baritone said: "I find it interesting that some people in this thread are already putting Lea Michele as the front runner for the Tony. Florence doesn't strike me as the kind of role with which wins that kind of award, but maybe some voters will think of it as the Tony she would have gotten had she been in the original cast of the Funny Girl revival..."

I think it's because this season doesn't seem to have a knock out performance as of yet


Jennifer Lopez to Star in KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN Film

This is expecting to open with 3M, the reviews are mid (61 at Metacritic) and its not that famous of a title.

It's not going anywhere.


Way Too Early Tony Award 2026 Predictions

I saw Lesley Manville on Long Day's Journey into Night and she was marvelous, my pick for that Olivier in a insane line-up.


Way Too Early Tony Award 2026 Predictions

Can we start already?

I'm especially shooked about the amount of LEAD ACTRESS IN A PLAY contenders that we already have:

Jean Smart, Call Me Izzy

Carrie Coon, Bug

Ayo Edebiri, Proof

June Squibb, Marjorie Prime

Laurie Metcalf, Little Bear Ridge Road

Lesley Manville, Oedipus

And we don't know who is playing Becky Shaw and possible contenders from PUNCH and LIBERATION.

I'm so sad that this won't be there until april.

Between this and ANNA CHRISTIE, I maybe go NY on winter not spring this time.

Seriously just a hand full a fans and one of the writers of ‘side show’. It was a little sad. I think she has been caught up in a lot of offstage behaviour plus her obvious vocal damage I think people just got a bit off her.

Still a massive fan and saw her also do an absolutely

Its funny that Darren was not enough of a draw at first but now he's leaving and the grosses are going to drop at half? I guess...

There is zero chances that he plays this role after all this social media craziness.

As a die hard fan of Williams that didn't have money at 23 to go to NY in 2016 I love that most people think she was the #1 of that line-up.

The creative team is surround by Tony winners. I'm already hoping for a transfer!

I LOVE Ariana, but she can't sing this score.

She better off tryin' to get SPIDER WOMAN off the ground.


Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 6/15/25

I think Death Becomes Her is the one with the harder path to recoup as it costs 30M + the weekly costs are very high, but they are open for almost year and doing good business with an excellent WOM, so why not?

I think BVSC was the sleeper hit of the season, but they found their audience and will recoup.

Just in Time recoups, no dout.

And Maybe Happy Ending has a strong WOM, was doing great numbers before the Tonys, with the amount of love that it got from there, it shoul

Also, JUST IN TIME being the biggest hit of the new musicals were not on my bingo card of 2025.

The fact that not one, not two, but FIVE original musicals can recoup/be hits from one single season is wild.

When was the last time this happened?
