& Juliet and SIX continue to be the two shows in a worrisome spot. I think at this point SIX has built enough of a reputation that, with a competent marketing strategy, they could successfully run it in a midtown Off-Broadway venue for quite some time. 

Death Becomes Her producers need to convince bigger Broadway names to go into the show I think. If you have women who can handle the rigors of this show but also have TV fame go in, it could give it a boost. Jane Krak

Unless they have a much more in-demand crop of celebs, I doubt it is literally another Simon Rich show like All In and All Out. All Out didn't do nearly the business the producers hoped it would. It should be assumed that a third iteration in this series will continue the trend of diminishing returns unless they have mega A-Listers in the lineup. But there is also zero reason for producers to rush in another one of these before the end of the season. All Out didn't invite Tony no

Every Brilliant Thing will definitely be a revival. It’s had many different productions over the years so there’s no argument to be made that it’s a new play.

Luke Evans will definitely be lead. They already set the precedent with Tom Hewitt that Frank is the sole lead of Rocky Horror. Doubtful they would change course.

The current plan for Lost Boys is to position LJ Benet as the sole lead. But there is still time to change course if they think another strateg

If the In The Heights clue points towards Stephanie Beatriz, she could potentially bring in folks thanks to her Encanto and Brooklyn Nine Nine following I suppose. I'm just not sure those audiences cross over with the target Broadway ticket buying audience for Titanique. If it instead points towards Melissa Barrera they could potentially add some funny references into the script about her not continuing with the Scream franchise...but Scream 7 will likely be out of theaters or in its last

So the lead is the only actor I had never heard of lol. In looking at her resume, I guess I have seen her before in The Handmaid's Tale but I never knew the name of that actress (and the show became too unsettlingly real for me to finish). I hope she does well with the role and I'm excited for the play. But this would seem to confirm my suspicion that someone else had to bow out of the project. (I mean, if your supporting players include one of the stars of a current mega hit show, Ha

A bit nerve-wracking for Death Becomes Her. The question is, is this just a temporary winter slump? Or are we seeing some lasting effects from Hilty's departure? These numbers would still be fine for many a show, but this one is just so damn expensive. And the trouble is that the two lead female roles are quite technical and challenging, so you can't just plop any name in there as stunt casting. It would seem to be fairly easy to get a big eye-catching name in for Viola though, whenev

Merkin2 said: "Based on talking to several Tony voters and nominations, they are much more pro QoV than what we’ve seen on this board. Kristin is a lock for leading actress, it will win Setand other design categories, and if Lost Boys is a dud, Versailles will win Best Musical"

Well the voters don't nominate anything. Just the very small pool of nominators (which usually numbers around 50 after folks inevitably recuse themselves during the season). So you h

You tease! haha. 

Hmm...well in terms of swaps I could see Chalamet acting Riff Raff well, but I doubt he can sing it. Austin Butler could do Brad I suppose, but I feel like that would waste his talents. Hsu is the type of actress Pinkleton probably would love to work with, and I could see him casting her as Janet instead. And Colman Domingo does have a distinct vocal quality that would make for a good narrator. Other than those I'm not sure I see any other switches (unless on

If there are indeed 2 Oscar nominees in the cast, these are the ones I can think of who are the right types and can sing (or sort of talk-sing for the narrator). I'll be curious to see if any of these names pop up at midnight. Some are probably too famous for a long contract where they aren't "THE" lead.

Janet:
Anna Kendrick, Amy Adams, Jessie Buckley, Amanda Seyfried, Florence Pugh, Emma Stone

Brad:
