I have thought a lot about this topic. There isn't a maxim that works for everything- some shows that adapt books or films are great, some are not. some original shows are great some are not. there's not one type of adapted work that is sure to be great or terrible. 

There is a certain je ne sais quoi a musical has to have to be perceived as "original" or whatever and I think it comes down to whether a person thinks it was produced "for the art" or &quo

So I think the thing about this race is that Hadestown layers the concept of what we do for art, love, passion, with topical issues such as climate change, corporate greed/inequality, industrialism, creating a really compelling concept. That being said, a significant number of people have raised the question or supported the notion that the show needs to be slimmed significantly (cut to 1 90 minute act, switch the leading couple)- which is a pretty big critique of the supposed frontrunner for

While I agree with many things posted, I have some objections. First and foremost~especially with the competition~ George Takei will not be getting a nomination. He is a featured actor, with no songs. He is there because it is his story, his passion project, and his character is cute and sweet, but when you have a possible 3 featured actor nominees from Hamilton, he won't get the nod. He is only above the title because he's a name. Telly Leung is the male lead of Allegiance and w

However, the most successful performance [what will have the best return on investment for air time]

The Drama Desk lost all credibility with this year's nominations. Regardless, all awards are awards and certain people choose who gets them while the rest of us watch. If awards mattered the most, open-ended run shows wouldn't open in the fall. Theatre is an art, but it is also a business, and if a show can sell based on Tonys or other awards, great for them. If Harvey thinks that other strategies will make him more money, regardless of how the theatre community will see him, that's his choic

Broadway.com sells tickets so they have to talk about basically everything [ie oh i just wanted to give a shoutout to ______] And the one who said if Curious incident sweeps, it could pick up choreography too- like ok sure against AIP ok. I was very surprised that Paul's comment about how OTT is still around wasn't cut- I thought that would be very controversial. I was disappointed in it, though it was expecte

I am curious to see if any show will disregard nominated leads in a performance, or rather not feature them vocally. For example, last year with GGLAM, Mays introduced the number with costumes. In 2009, Shrek opted for an ensemble number. Would producers rather use time to advertise the show, with a group number, appealing possibly to a wider ticket buying audience, or do a medley of a few solo numbers, to feature Tony nominated performances when votes have already been cast, especially in a

I believe that has not so much to do with the superiority of AIP and everything to with the fact that they combined Broadway and off Broadway shows, putting Hamilton and Fun Home in the same category. My verdict is that Hamilton and Fun Home Split the vote, and AIP was the 3rd
