2025 Jimmy Awards

This was a great year for the Jimmys. The finalists all killed it! 


Has anyone been to a Broadway Rave?
 Jun 20 2025, 01:16:41 PM

I went to one in Oklahoma City a couple years ago. It was advertised as, well, a rave, so I was expecting it to be remixes, but it's just the songs. There were often times where they played songs with dialogue in the middle that just made the space feel awkward. The rave portion were lights that didn't fit with the songs at all. 

Showtunes I remember them playing are "Footloose" from the stage version Footloose, "Hello" from Book of Mormo


Immersive AMERICAN PSYCHO Premiering 2025 In Brooklyn?
 May 28 2025, 12:41:53 PM

The original production was ahead of its time, I would love to see this show again. Off-Broadway is a fantastic place for this show to have a second life. 

I still hold by my opinion that American Psycho should've won Best Lighting over Hamilton.

While I don't consider it a snub, I do wish Josh Lamon got nominated for Death Becomes Her. 


It’s time for Carrie Coon to return to Broadway
 Mar 31 2025, 05:16:23 PM

She was fantastic in Bug at Steppenwolf a few years back. Definitely should be a Tracy Letts play, perhaps a new work?

Maybe Happy Ending holding steady! I love to see it. 


Cabaret Casting Rumor: Orville Peck & Eva Noblezada

This casting would sell to the millennial gay crowd for sure.


AUDRA GYPSY Reviews

MemorableUserName said: "I apologize for any confusion, or if there is a more accepted term when it comes to Broadway. I do tend of think of it more when it comes to movie reviews, where a review embargo tends to be a widely known concept. The fact that theater reviewers don't drop their reviews whenever they want before opening, but at a time on opening night dictated by the production, would seem to indicate the same concept is at work,so it's the term that came to mind."

It's the proper term. Press embargos are used for a variety of stories and press releases.

Cole posted to Instagram that they'll be in the show tonight!


NY TIMES - MHE IN 10 BEST OF 2024!
 Dec 10 2024, 09:39:26 AM

Dreamboy3 said: "There are other threads already on this topic, but wanted to offer a view to counter the gushing narrative that has taken over this board. I don’t get it. Yes, the design and staging are great (though the design may work against the material) but everything else about this show was mediocre, with the score not even meeting that low standard. I admired Criss’ performance but that is the best I can say about the two leads And when I saw it this weekend, the


First Preview Gift Thread
 Nov 29 2024, 06:20:23 PM

It wasn't exactly a tote bag for Gypsy, but a newsboy bag seen in the Dainty June numbers. Thought it was a cute nod. 

When I went to the Anastasia first preview it was a button.

I would love to see Smile someday. 

I've always been fascinated by the musical Merlin, but Doug Henning's estate would never allow for a revival.  

I was lucky to see a regional production of LaChiusa's Little Fish a few years ago. I loved it!

Little Shop...Who Leads? Anyone know?
 Sep 11 2024, 04:57:47 PM

I read on Twitter, so you know it MUST be true, that Ellen Greene may step in for Audrey for the holidays? 

I can't find the tweet now, so I may have made it up in my post-Debate Night haze. 


Novels That Could Make Great Musicals

I always thought Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe would make a great stage musical. 


Smallest Roles to Be Nominated for Tony Awards
 Aug 28 2024, 12:14:46 PM

Huss417 said: "Probably the least time on stage and also won the Tony Award for featured actress in a musical would be Marilyn Cooper for Woman of the Year.

I believe there is a thread on here somewhere where something similar has been asked before if you are looking for more.
"

Marilyn Cooper was the first one to pop into my head. I believe she was on stage for less than 10 minutes (you all, please correct me if I'm wrong), but from the performance below I can see why she was lauded.
