Sighhhhh........I wasn't making a statement of fact, and I'm aware that not literally every piece of theater was nominated. My point was more in the spirit of my comment. But I feel adequately chastised now, so thank you for that public service.

I don't think I want to risk it as it's 8 blocks between the St. James and the August Wilson and I'm not sure if there is enough time but was curious what the current run time was"

Various people have said it runs closer to two hours. I don’t recall it being that long but it alway

You can totally disagree and still be wrong. This is a giant “get” for the theater community. Just wild to be on the negative side of it."

Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Gaga orBeyoncé would be a major get. I'm not talking about talent, folk.I'm talking about relevancy. Just because we don't agree doesn't mean I'm being negative. We don't all have to think alike."

All beverages will be served in plastic lidded cups. Price varies but expect to pay $10-15 for a beer.

Tipping isn't as important in theaters as it is in bars and restaurants. Merch sellers are never tipped; at the bar, there may be a tip option when you pay with a card and you can really put any amount but 15-20% is customary or a couple bucks. Some concessi

I would also love to see Emma Sofia nominated. So many good performances in that cast."

I second this! When I was thinking of performers

They’re attempting to increase viewership. A host like Cynthia is great but she doesn’t intrigue the masses who aren’t devoted theatre goers like us. They hardly know who she is, if at all. P!NK is somebody with credibility and mass appeal who can get the ratings up. That’s the entire reason behind this decision."

I know what they're trying to do. Pink is not a hot topic right now. They would've

It's random, but I do like her and she's extraordinarily talented, she can create a killer opening number and hopefully get more folks than usual to tune in. So, great I guess!

Does this mean we get her performing alongside & Juliet cast on the telecast? The inclusion of "F**kin Perfect" in that musical is her only real tie to
