I have been critical of theShuckedTony Awards performance because I thought it was much too hyperactive. I have seen the musical and thought it had several strong song candidates, or a less-busy medley, depending on what the producers and creatives wanted to emphasize.

I’m curious what appealed to your small sample size of Tony Awards watchers. Because if they all wanted to see the show after watching the performance,

Have there been any updates around about the format/plans for the show? In the performances announcement it all seems like business as usual, except that we know it won’t be, writing wise? 
 

I know we’ll find out in a few days, but asking selfishly as I put together this year’s bingo cards for my Tony party. I always do a combo of general awards show stuff and topical stuff, but it’s challenging this year without knowing what to expect. Though ul

It could be entertaining to see the off the wall in the moment creations. Instead of the scripted boring stuff."

I kind of love this idea. AND longer performances. 

I’d love to see Shucked do a little narrator banter (or Kevin Cahoon banter) into I Do. I know, unli

Wait, WHAT? How does he not have a choreo Tony?! He 100% deserves it for this - for that second act chase scene showstopper alone, never mind the rest of the show.

Unrelated, loved Micaela Diamond's instagram post today showing her live reaction. So happy for her. There was never any doubt she'd get nominated, but she's absolute

I'd say Alex Newell, Justin Cooley, and Kevin del Aguila feel safe ish. Going by who showed up in precursors, Kevin Cahoon and Mark Jacoby would get the next two slots. But I think Gavin Creel and Jordan Donica feel like very strong contenders (plus Dancin' has put out a bunch of well timed interviews for Kolton Krouse, pushing th

Couldn't agree with this more, and that he's really the reason I enjoyed Camelot as much as I did (and more than I thought I would). He made Arthur so likable. 

Definitely still hoping for some Dancin nods as my #1 wish list this year, but Burnap&#3

You have wounded my soul with this comment."

Haha I’m truly sorry! I’ll have to listen to some of the songs in isolation - as a whole it just felt like the balance of what I want in a show like this (namely a lot more ensemble work, though to be fair I’m a bit of a vocal arranging nerd) was so off that it became hard

Saw this tonight, and went in knowing zero about the show other than that it's about King Arthur, the one song "If Ever I Would Leave You" (and probably could've only sung that title line), and that it's Lerner & Loewe. 

I got my ticket before reviews came out, largely because I really enjoy Phillipa Soo, Jordan Donica (from seeing him in My Fair Lady and last fall's NY Pops Broadway concert where he killed it), and the lush orchestra and high-qua

Mr. Wormwood said: "Yeah, the whole Dancin' thing is what I'm least sure of. I don't feel great about predicting 0 nominations for it when I could see it get in for Revival over Camelot or sneak in to something like Orchestrations or Lighting.

A few other things I didn't predict but COULD see happening:
- Andrew Lloyd Webber or Carolee Carmello get in for Bad Cinderella
- A Beautiful Noise gets in over NYNY for Best Musical
- Ben Platt or Jos
