Betty Buckley in Hello Dolly

It's interesting if you read through reviews and message boards that even people who like her are kind of defensive and making excuses for her - this is notable for example in the rave Trib review.

Does anyone in this thread know why there has been so much turnover as Joe? First Lee Wilkof left abruptly and now Steve Vinovich seems to be gone even more abruptly, replaced by the tour Joe.

If she was literally about to explode, then it makes sense that she would not want to do it

I feel bad for Benanti, because this would be her year if it weren't already Erivo's year. So much of winning awards is about luck and timing.

CAROUSEL on Live At Lincoln Center Tonight at 9PM!!
Apr 27

Here's my theory: miscasting is becoming more of a problem as these kind of concerts have become more like fully staged productions with minimal scenery. Nathan Gunn might be just the guy you want to hear singing Billy -- but he's totally miscast once it turns into a full production. For my money, every single person in this one seemed wrong for the part except maybe Blythe, mostly because they all read as too urban and literate for the parts they're supposed to be playing, esp. Mueller and Dani

Oh man, the options for the Weisslers' stunt casting Berthe boggle the mind. They should really run with it and bring people in for a week or a month at a time.

I was at the 11/17 satmat too and interestingly, in reference to the posts above, Jasper was only seven votes behind Bazzard as the murderer choice.

Groff would be great, but Darren Criss would sell tickets. And Betty White as Berthe!

The Official 'Laura Benanti Was Robber' Thread

This really proves how hard it is to win a Tony for a closed show that didn't have a lot of performances. Not impossible, as others have proved in the past, but an uphill battle. The precursor awards are different because of the smaller voting pool and the greater likelihood that all the voters have seen all the shows.

Interesting for BOM Tony precedent that, after all the assumptions that Rannells is a shoo-in and Gad a maybe, it's the other way around here.

Has anyone sat in one of these, which are listed as obstructed and partial view? Trying to figure out just how "partial" the view would be. TIA.

Betty White was born to play Berthe! But I guess at this point it would have to be at Encores or LA Reprise ...

Actors that deserved Tonys and weren't even nominated

Dustin Hoffman in Death of a Salesman! Another one who had the bad luck to give an unforgettable performance at a time when the Tonys went out of their way to shun "movie stars," instead of the other way around.

Finian's Balcony Advice
Nov 6
2009, 08:52:11 AM
I'm thinking of taking a 7-year-old to see Finian's around Thanksgiving and wondering about sitting in the front row of the mezzanine or balcony so that he has no one blocking the view in front of him. Can anyone advise me about whether are there bars across the front of the mezzanine and/or balcony that will block his view anyway, or if there are other reasons these are not good seats in the St. James? TIA.
