Who is running the best Tony campaign?
May 14 2026, 03:34:48 PM
Not infrequently do those flashy Tony campaigns work against shows, particularly in the big categories. Lest we forget the 2004 Tony race.
I do think Schmigadoon will ultimately take Best Musical with Lost Boys racking up in technical categories and having the ability to run on XX Tony Award Winner messaging for a bit. There was a lot of anger around Schminto the Woods getting canceled and the show is a love letter to the artform. Industry folks love

Who's taking Leading Actress in a Musical this year?
May 14 2026, 03:27:48 PM
I hate this way of viewing these things, but knowing how revered she is in the industry, it's Levy's "turn" while it may not be the runaway best performance.
Count me among those quietly holding a sliver of space for a Marla upset.

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 5/10/26
May 13 2026, 05:11:41 PM
Well now that you can stream both Wicked films, why spend exorbitant amounts of money on hotels, tickets, airfare and everything else to see it on Broadway? I actually find their gross here quite shocking. This summer is not a guarantee for anyone given the current and near future economic outlook and the steeper and steeper decline in tourism that's sure to result, so it'll be another interesting year to watch how trends shake out and compare to years past.

OH, MARY Reviews (2026 New)
May 13 2026, 04:59:00 PM
The possibilities here really do seem endless and so many top tier comedians are game to do it. There has to be a run in the works for Molly Shannon, Megan McCarthy and Amy Sedaris at the very least, right?!
Let us all pray that we never get a Lena Dunham is Mary Todd Lincoln because that will surely signal the end of times.

Lin-Manuel Miranda to direct film adaptation of OCTET
May 11 2026, 03:25:18 PM
I love the collective ignoring of the clearly unwell individual in this thread.
Anyway, as someone who really isn't a fan of LMM's writing/music, I thoroughly enjoyed his take on tick, tick...BOOM! it was imaginative and fresh and garnered that film a whole heck of a lot more attention than it wouldve gotten otherwise. Would love for him to pivot more into behind-the-camera work as his music could do with a well-deserved break. TO ME.

Your reasoning that they're less worthy simply for being adaptations is stupid. Maybe literacy isn't your strong suit. Hope that helps clarify for you.

That's frankly a very stupid reason to be rooting against something when they're good to great adaptations of their source material. If the product is good, it shouldn't matter where the material came from if it s

Well Stephanie J Block and Jessie Mueller won their Tonys for impersonations...what's your point? Marla Mindelle is far from counted out. Caissie's performance could very well win her the Tony, but to say she's going to win over Marla simply bc Marla is parodying a living person is a bit absurd. E

It'll definitely be released on streaming. No one uses CDs in any meaningful way anymore, so Vinyl has become a big go-to for physical releases. They must not be doing a large pressing to cut down on production costs because who the hell is going to buy a $90 vinyl of Evita?

Markets have to want to book the show (i.e. believe they will make money off of a show) to book venues for a tour. A lead producer being a booker doesn't mean he has any sway with presenters.
The way this has crashed and burned, there is no guaranteed tour and it'll be lucky to g

Moulin Rouge to Close on Broadway
Apr 28 2026, 03:01:58 PM
People not being able to hold two things as true at once is so infuriating lol. She both could have been good-intentioned in accepting the role and she didn’t even negotiate a day off. AND she just experienced a life event. Yall can be miserable and pretend that a break up this public wouldn’t deeply affect you, but the fact is she’s human. Does it suck? Yeah. But life also happens.
So many sneers in this thread just to be mean for no reason. Try to think harder

THE LOST BOYS Reviews
Apr 27 2026, 06:49:07 AM
This show will benefit from what will surely be a high number of nominations, see a boost during awards season and then the grosses will start to fall, likely over the summer given it’s not a family-friendly show without all out raves or any meaningfully strong word of mouth.
Now with everything open and the air of mediocrity around the entire season, I don’t understand why what seems to be a majority think Two Strangers is going to take the top prize. It got mid

A Joseph revival has been "happening" for over a decade. No one wants nor needs a Joseph revival and honestly she shouldn't do it even if it does happen, it's not a role that would elevate her in any way.

The thing is...if Vosk wants to have her breakout moment, she needs to find a vehicle that isn't trash and hasn't been trash for its entire gestation. Taking over roles Shosh either didn't want to continue with or originated for the rest of her career isn't going to get her there. And I fully believe she has the ability to do it.
Though, Vosk would have been an interesting choice for Lempicka (another role Shoshana moved on from early). And she would've been a

May 3 is the earliest it can close. They have to tell the company before the first performance of the week they close, otherwise they're on the hook for full week's salary regardless. So won't close 4/26.
