Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 5/5/24  May 7 2024, 03:45:02 PM

Would love to know the weekly costs of Outsiders, Suffs and Hell's Kitchen.

Alicia is really pulling 1.2M and it's not even summer, good for her!

Musical:No real surprises here, though its a shame Here Lies Love, flawed as it was, didnt make the cut. Days of Wine Roses not making the cut surprised me based on the intense love for this show, but I thought it was dull as hell so no love lost here. All the love for Hells Kitchen is understandable, its a fun night with insane performances, but the notion that this book was nominated for anything is just... hard to stoma

Your Single Favorite 2024 Tony Nomination  Apr 30 2024, 03:56:29 PM

Daniel Radcliffe finally getting a nom was something really incredible.

I was at the first preview of ''Merrily We Roll Along'' at NYTW and was blown away when he first finished ''Franklin Shepard, INC'', really hope he gets the Tony!

Barbara Cook. 52 years between her nominations for The Music Man (1958) and Sondheim on Sondheim (2010).

Right behind her is Jane Fonda with 49 years between her nominations for Ther

For the record, ''Back to the Future'' got 2 nominations: one for Roger Bart and the other for Set Design. And ''The Great Gatsby'' scored 1 nomination for Costumes.

Yeah, not shut-out, but basically ''nothing'' and can't


The 77th Annual Tony Award Nominations for 2024  Apr 30 2024, 01:03:07 PM

Brian d'Arcy James is now the most nominated living actor without a win with 5 under his belt, he's tied in general with George C. Scott, John McMartin and Tom Aldredge.

Kelli O'Hara's nomination puts her in a tied 3rd place among most nominated actresses overall. 

She is below Audra, Chita and Julie Harris (10), Rosemary Harris (9) and alongside Patti LuPone, Colleen Dewhurst and Jane Alexander.

She is now the second most nominated woman fo


The 77th Annual Tony Award Nominations for 2024  Apr 30 2024, 12:53:26 PM

''Hell's Kitchen'' got nominated for every single category eligible. I mean, wow! Maleah has got to be the front-runner for Actress, right?

Also, ''Illinoise'' got basically nothing that was not certainly to get. No director, book or acting noms? I don't see how it can beat ''The Outsiders'' and even ''Hell's Kitchen''. I know ''Titanic'' did it, but I think people will simply not vote for an &#


All Best Musical Winners Ranked by Number of Performances  Apr 29 2024, 01:28:59 AM

I updated the data now ''Kimberly Akimbo'' is over with 612 performances at #63. For a ''little show'', it didn't even finished on the bottom 10 and surpassed basically all others ''little shows'' that won recently like ''Fun Home'', ''The Band's Visit'' and ''A Strange Loop''.

Those are the ''Best Musical''

I'm 100% expecting a Mike Faist type of nomination at this point.

starlightlocamotion said: "At this point … is there anything that could plausibly beat ILLINOISE for the tony? … I so wish that HLL had opened in the spring :("

I still think Suffs and Hell's Kitchen can take this prize, the jukebox one if obviously more hard to get, but Suffs got great reviews, written by a woman (that also stars) with people like Malala e Clinton as producers and also very topic subject can sure be a winner.

chrishuyen said: "I've seen a lot of good notices for Steven Skybell both on the boards and in reviews, but he never seems to be as notable in the role as Bebe in hers, is that just due to their respective levels of fame or is it actually that he doesn't seem to have as lauded of a performance? Right now I'm leaning Daniel Radcliffe for Featured Actor and Bebe Neuwirth for Featured Actress but I do think things could flip either way leading up to the Tonys.

THE GREAT GATSBY Opening Night Critics’ Reviews  Apr 26 2024, 01:32:19 AM

dramamama611 said: "Ouch. (not undeservedly)

I convert DTLI rankings into numerical values - this put Gatsby tied (with Lempicka & BTTF) as the worst reviewed new musical of the season. I feel bad for BTTF, and I didn't even like it.
"

I also try to do a ranking, I think it come out like this:

1. Days of Wine and Roses
2. Hell's Kitchen
3. Suffs
4. Here Lies Love
5. Water for Elephants
6. How to Dance in Ohio


2024 Tony Predictions  Apr 25 2024, 01:50:02 PM

I think Strong/Enemy got far better reviews than Stuhlbarg/Patriots, his show is a monster hit and he is on a high note because of ''Succession''.

If they really like Patriots, Keems seems a much better fit for a ''reward win''.

Has anything this season gotten worse reviews???

We will always have Back to the Future and Lempicka!


2024 Tony Predictions  Apr 25 2024, 12:46:33 PM

I know we don't even have the nominations yet, but some awards feels very certain to me.

Best Play - Stereophonic

Best Actor in a Play - Jeremy Strong

Best Featured Actor in a Musical - Daniel Radcliffe (what is his competition??)

Best Choreography - Illinoise

One category that for me is blank is Featured Actor in a Play. I though Will Keem would get but the reception for Patriots was so lukewarm that I don't know anymore. William
