Re: early Tony award predictions 2027

Oct 1, 2026 — 11:21:57 AM

Best Musical is likely Warriors vs. Paddington. With Benjamin Button and The Heart rounding out the category. If we end up with enough shows to produce 5 nominees, then the fifth and final spot is probably either Wanted or Dolly. For Musical Revival, Evita has the biggest buzz coming in. So it could steamroll its way through. But always a chance voters think "we already did this" with Sunset. That would make room for Sound of Music or Damn Yankees to swoop in, depending on how those turn out....

Re: Megan Hilty Replacing in Established Broadway Show?

Sep 24, 2026 — 12:48:48 PM

So...does she really have a role in this Blue Man Group holiday show thing? lol. Or maybe she is stepping into A Christmas Carol at PAC as one of the ghosts?

Re: Dolly! The Musical casting

Sep 24, 2026 — 12:38:34 PM

Carrie St. Louis is indeed continuing with the show. I believe most of the Nashville cast is going to Broadway

Re: Where will the 2027 Tony awards be broadcast?

Sep 16, 2026 — 10:42:01 AM

If CBS doesn't renew, I think YouTube would be the most ideal option. It is more widely used and watched than any of the streamers. Since the Tonys are a vital advertising tool for Broadway, they need the widest exposure possible. YouTube's plan for the Oscars is to offer the show for free to all users and include ads (as opposed to locking it behind their paid Premium subscription). If the Tonys can get the same deal, I don't see a better option. But who knows if YouTube is even interested.

Re: DOWNSTATE on Broadway (Booth Theatre) - Colón-Zayas, Freeman & Sadoski

Sep 8, 2026 — 5:57:03 PM

In recent years, the Tony committee has deemed plays in this limbo area revivals if the production uses a new director, designers, and cast. While it's true that two actors are reprising their roles, the rest of the cast and creatives are new. So per recent precedent, it would be a revival. (Of course, will Rudin try to bully his way into the Best Play category instead because there is less competition in that field? Probably).

Re: Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 9/6/26

Sep 8, 2026 — 5:46:14 PM

Has there been any reporting on what the weekly operating costs for Paranormal Activity are? They are nearly selling out each show, but continue to have a low average ticket price in order to get there. And I can't imagine sales really rocketing up much past the 800K point until we get to October and Halloween season (and after that they will likely settle back down to the 700-800K levels). I wonder if there's any chance they break even. I am continually shocked that &Juliet hasn't announced ...

Re: Benjamin Button's Chances for Success?

Sep 2, 2026 — 10:17:21 AM

Supposedly they have a Broadway theater lined up and will do a quick transfer this spring. I thought they would wait until next season, but the run is almost totally sold out at this point. So it's good for them to try an capitalize on demand since most folks wont get a chance to see the run at the Public

Re: How would a …WHOREHOUSE revival fare today?

Sep 1, 2026 — 1:41:55 PM

Jennifer Nettles would sell the crap out of this and also be fantastic in the role! Would love to see her lead a revival. I think it could be quite successful and is overdue. There was a revival in development around 2015, set to be directed and choreographed by Rob Ashford. It was even advertised in Playbills at the time, yet sadly never materialized.

Re: Bat Boy transfer being teased

Aug 26, 2026 — 4:49:15 PM

Back Row said: "I saw Bat Boy at the then fledgling Speakeasy Stage in Boston in 2002, in a tiny, funky space that barely seated over 100 people. Word of mouth made it a huge hit, and it was extended a number of times, well into 2003. The stars were a recent Emerson College grad named Miguel Cervantes (Hamilton) as Bat Boy, and 18 year old Sara Chase as Shelley. I felt like the venue was perfect and it is hard for me to imagine it in a more conventional Broadway setting,"This production was a...

Re: Philip Boroff on new 2026/2027 Musicals

Aug 12, 2026 — 3:48:22 PM

If Benjamin Button and The Heart are truly making the tight turnaround to debut on Broadway this season (as opposed to waiting for 27-28 season), then we would just need one more musical to guarantee a 5 nominee Best Musical lineup at the Tony Awards. I've heard various plans and intent to transfer from Black Swan, Iceboy, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, and 3 Summers of Lincoln (plus the perennial "we're still hoping" line from Little Dancer). But none of them seem to have any concr...

Next for the Broadhurst

Jul 15, 2026 — 10:05:07 AM

William Ivey Long is very much still alive. Yet no one has called for a boycott of Chicago lest they get new costumes. What he did is totally heinous and far far worse than what Rudin did. Anyway, I had heard a rumor that Julia Roberts was looking to try Broadway again, and Small Mouth Sounds was the vehicle in question. So I can vouch for that. No idea if it has the Broadhurst though, no idea how far along it is.

Moana Live? Greatest Showman Status? Next for Disney?

Jun 30, 2026 — 1:17:09 PM

There is a stage version of Moana on one of Disney's cruise ships. It was also one of the shows they considered (along with Hercules) for the abandoned idea of a Main Street theater in Magic Kingdom, so there's a chance they bring the stage show to one of their parks one day. But haven't heard about any plans to mount it on Broadway.I think if Disney puts a third show on Broadway anytime soon it will be a revival of either Beauty and the Beast or Aida. They are working on a stage version of P...

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 6/15/26

Jun 16, 2026 — 3:16:39 PM

This is pretty dismal overall. I thought Titanique would make it to Labor Day. But I don't see how they do with these numbers, unless investors have already agreed they are willing to shovel their money into the fire to get the show to its end date. I thought this show could really be helped by a smart Tonys performance so it wouldn't matter if they won anything or not. But the performance was ill conceived, didn't showcase the actual vibe of the show very well, and had really rough vocal per...

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 6/7/26

Jun 9, 2026 — 2:33:43 PM

Nice growth for Tony winners Schmigadoon, The Lost Boys, and Cats: The Jellicle Ball. Hopefully the Best Musical win can boost sales for the first show next week so they can really start making money. The latter two had great performances that imo properly showcased the productions and will hopefully continue the upward trend in sales.The nominees I'm most worried about are Two Strangers and Titanique. Two Strangers feels like they've been hitting a sales ceiling for a long time. They could p...

2025-2026 Broadway Season

Jun 9, 2026 — 10:40:53 AM

A Few Good Men is booked at the Beaumont in the fall. Once that wraps up, an LCT revival of The Sound of Music will open in the spring.

NYTimes Tony Award Predictions

Jun 5, 2026 — 1:50:29 PM

This is why I think Cats The Jellicle Ball is still ahead for Revival. It's most improved! Most reinvented! Of course the straight masses and out of towners don't know about ballroom. But theater, like any good art form, teaches us by exposure. Im sure most Tony voters werent Mark Rothko experts but they still awarded Red. They also probably didnt have a robust knowledge of the details in the oslo accords, but they still went ahead and voted for Oslo. I watch musicals and plays all the time a...

Spring Awakening Revival @ Studio Seaview???

May 31, 2026 — 6:18:46 PM

There was previously an idea to do a revival staging with the original cast (Groff, Michele, everyone) at the Atlantic a couple years ago. But those big reunion plans fell apart when Michele booked Funny Girl and then Groff started prepping for Just in Time. Perhaps this reunion is being repurposed for Studio Seaview? But it felt like a project that was specific to the Atlantic (where the show originated in NYC), so maybe this is just wishful thinking and its a brand new, unrelated staging.

Three Days Of Rain/A Few Good Men/Other Desert Cities revivals

May 26, 2026 — 2:28:18 PM

I'm sort of astounded that we are getting a revival of Three Days of Rain...is anyone really asking for this? They would need an enormous name to sell this. MUCH bigger than Britt Lower.

2026 Tony Winner Predictions

May 21, 2026 — 4:47:21 PM

They have Clayton Davis doing the Tony predictions at Variety??? I get that he's their chief awards editor, but...this is really not his expertise? They flew him here for Tony press for a week where, per his socials, he saw Ragtime, Lost Boys, Salesman, and The Jellicle Ball. That's liekly all he's seen this season. He seems to just be basing some predictions off of the thoughts of a few Tony voters he knows which is how we get predictions like Danny Burstein winning featured actor for Marjor...
