2026 Tony Awards Performance Predictions (or What Songs They Should and Will Perform)

Mr. Wormwood said: "HaveAGoodShow said: "For me, it doesn't matter how the shows perform. I think what's more important is that the director is up to the task of shooting these production numbers in a way that fully honors and captures the performers onstage while also enhancing the energy and excitement that each show brings."

Amen to that. The filming has gotten increasingly bad at the Tonys. The show had a better look in the 90s that it does t


CATS: THE JELLICLE BALL Reviews

It’s also a show where I’ve managed to make friends along the way, and managed to learn quite a bit about ballroom, even attending my first ball and also briefly participated in a house.

When I dive headfirst into supporting a show with such fervor (A Strange Loop, Oh Mary, Purlie Victorious as some examples), I get to dive into the creative process more and see how it comes together, and sometimes I end up in places with people I never thought I would meet. It’s an e


2026 Post-Tony Closures and Successors

CATS is staying afloat fine for right now. It’s not making money, but it’s not losing it either. The Tony wins they are likely to get will give them a boost (Costumes and Choreo are on lock, and strong odds for Direction - Revival and Featured Actor are the wobbliest prospects). 

There is not a chance in hell they will fold in July. My best guess would be September at the earliest if it sinks, since the summer gays are looking for a show and that seems to be the winner

Aside from being mind-blowingly innovative, it brings me unabashed queer joy at a time in my life when I could really use some. Let me have it.

I’ve seen everything else that opened this season.


CATS: THE JELLICLE BALL Reviews

Was also at the matinee - brought my mom, who has been an avowed CATS hater since before I was born and she was utterly converted by the artistry on stage. This afternoon was less for me and more for her being able to see one of the best coup de theatre in the last 25 years.

Al Roker and Meredith Marks (RH:SLC) were the guest judges today and I witnessed a first…Al left at intermission. Never saw a guest judge do that before. I’m going to chalk it up to

I think Whitney might have had it locked up since, on paper, people weren’t sure what Mantello would do with SALESMAN - turns out he had a vision and BODIED it.

This is why I went. I had to see Auntie Bruce. Jackie Hoffman was the standout though, she had me cackling.

Yeah, Jackie was a hoot doing Oprah and Nia Vardalos was a perfect Kardashian.


Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 5/31/26

Regarding the other shows, I’m not really concerned about SIX and & JULIET since they’ve been running on fumes for months now and so short of absolute insolvency, they seem to be well settled to keep humming along. OPERATION MINCEMEAT is also keeping steady, only falling back a little to where they were running most of 2025.

I do worry about CATS because it’s about $850K to run but, according to a producer I know for the show, they are not profitable at the moment

THDavis said: "Was the idea behind Celebrity Autobiography to go after the All Out/All In crowd? My first time hearing about it was when I saw the marquee going up at the Shubert a week before opening - shocked to see those numbers and wonder what people were (or weren’t) thinking."

I went on comps on Sunday afternoon and I honestly had fun. It’s worth exactly what I paid for it and 90 minutes of diversion.

I went primarily because the gay


2026 Tony Awards Performance Predictions (or What Songs They Should and Will Perform)

CATS is curating a special megamix slightly different from the standard production numbers in order to highlight as many production elements as possible, specifically the choreography and costumes. Elements of both of the aforementioned songs will be included, but it’s very much an evolving number that they’ve been working on for about 2 weeks now.

Not a chance, sadly. It’s been a hard sell downtown and I can’t imagine a commercial producer taking up the mantle. The staging is meant to uncomfortably intimate and the “true crime” genre hasn’t historically had much success (Ohio State Murders, Dead Outlaw).

A purse is fine. I usually have my drawstring bag and that’s decent. It would only be a problem if it was a suitcase or a purse so big that it would be a tripping hazard for passersby

Burstein, Hecht, & Shamos to star in AWAKE & SING - MTC (Dec. 2026)

Jordan Catalano said: "That last revival is sadly all but forgotten but it was an embarrassment of riches, as far as casting went."

I just looked it up and HOLY CRAP that’s a cast. (It was just slightly before my entry into the theatre world)

Burstein is a titan of stage and yet is so humble and always just seems happy to be there. He’s my male equivalent of Kara Young. 


Two questions regarding Cynthia Erivo

theblackumbrella said: "Would be wild to have Ari and Cynthia on Broadway in 27-28."

With respect to their talent, I need AT LEAST a five-year break from both of them

I went again last night. Just as good as the first time around.

I actually said to Jack that I think he would make a great Hester in Mincemeat, and he was VERY clear he would love to do it here on Broadway if given the chance.

Lot666 said: "Does anyone know why the Friday performance was presented as an event of sorts, i.e., why ALW was featured in the showand subsequently spent so much time with everyone in the street?"

Just a publicity stunt for the run-up to the Tonys. Dont think too hard about it.
