I went last night and, oh my god, this is probably one of my contenders for top performance of the year. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

Through many iterations, you can tell that Jack Holden (who also is a co-writer) has been able to masterfully craft this fully lived in performance of over 30 characters (even if only some of them continue through a full arc). Much like DEAD OUTLAW, it has that “Yes, This Crazy S**t Actually Happened” truth to it, but is much, much

TotallyEffed said: “I thought Cheadle was absolutely horrible."

Cheadle has no shot. His reviews, while somewhat more polite, are on par with Adrien Brody in terms of having “Well, he was there” tilt to it.

The fundamental issue with Cheadle that was similarly cited was that he seemed far too easygoing and never gave enough of an impression to have the specter of his genius hanging over the whole play when he isn’t on stage. That m

Falsettolands said: "I feel confident in saying Marylouise Burke is getting into best featured. The real question is if Nixon or Young is getting the fifth slot. Nixon was wonderful but the historical precedent of Squibb being nominated and potentially winning means she’s a lock over her."

Burke is fantastic for sure, but there are at least 15 truly viable candidates by my count, more or less depending on committee rulings. I would not be surprised if we ended

KevinKlawitter said: "My predicted five are Aidem/Hecht/Metcalf/Squibb/Young, with Nixon, Cash, Rose and Emond close behind."

Mine are (in no order) - Metcalf, Young, Squibb, Aidem, and Nixon, with Reid as a potential sixth (the category is flush with potential for expansion).

Although MTC performers are usually all considered featured by default crediting, after seeing THE BALUSTERS, I think they may try to make a case for Rose to go in Leading, and possibly&

It’s been selling like gangbusters and seems to be a magnet for celebrities, so I can imagine they are entertaining possibilities to extend. If the show is doing well, it could help fill Roundabout’s coffers in the way CABARET did.

Also, and I am shouting this, KARA MF’IN BLACK, BLESSED, BOOKED, and BUSY YOUNG!!!!!!!!!! (With Ruben Santiago-Hudson no less!)

Definitely didn’t see the FULL MONTY revival coming, but honestly I’m glad to see it, and the

Worth noting that the London production was an entirely different animal in terms of direction, design, etc. The only things that remain the same are the text and the lead actor.

That said, I can’t see Brody cracking the list unless nominators  are selecting based on star power. For my money, th

I don’t think it’s either. It’s a case of two decidedly opposite vibes.

54 Below is an uptown, supper club-type cabaret space, which caters to higher-end patrons (mostly) - which is reflected in their prices. I’m sure location is a small factor, but you also have Green Room 42 in the same vicinity.

Joe’s Pub, for my money, has always been the scrappy, downtown cabaret spot that feels accepting to artists of all stripes - alternative, raunchy, experi

It’s all a bit conceptually vague for me. Someone pitched it to me and I personally was a bit puzzled as to if it was just doing the regular show with an ND cast, or they got permission from the estate to maybe reframe and make changes to certain characters and story to reflect the company.

I have my doubts that it’s the latter and so I don’t feel particularly compelled to sit through RENT just because of this casting concept alone. I wish them all the best though,&nb

If Christopher Ashley is jumping in, perhaps there’s likely to be some reframing going on. I can’t imagine nixing a sold out preview performance three days ahead of time unless the entire cast was laid out sick.

Someone mentioned he did direct the last revival, so it’s possible he might be working to see how the callbacks can still be integrated into the experience in a bit more streamlined way. If someone was at tonight’s show, maybe they could tell us about th

Lot of The Pitt fans, but not overly crowded. Everyone signed except Linda. Madeline prefers not to take pictures. 

I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad experience at that stage door because the audience is never that big nor does it often attract  ridiculously high budget names. (Even when Common was ther
