Re: early Tony award predictions 2027
Bryan Cranston being a three time Tony winner would be pretty incredible.

Re: early Tony award predictions 2027
Where do we come down on the Leading/Featured argument for Che? Mandy Patinkin won the Featured Actor Tony for Che and he was against Bob Gunton as Peron in the same field. My guess is they didn't push Patinkin for Leading because of Jim Dale who was the favourite to win as Barnum. Since then, Che has generally been considered a Lead performance. Though Philip Quast was bizarrely placed in Best Actor at the Oliviers in 2007 for his Peron.

skyboy said: "I'm kind of intrigued about what a production of Annie could look like, but with an aesthetic like Matilda.Also, leaning heavily into the cartoon idea as someone mentioned earlier in the thread also sounds fun."There's a UK tour on the road at the moment which is very much the Matilda aesthetic - you should check out the photos/videos.
Re: Patti LuPone as Diana Vreeland in Full Gallop
She will eat. this. up. Brilliant casting.
Re: ANNIE - 50th Anniversary Broadway revival (Fall, 2027)
No one has done Dorothy's version of Hannigan since her version. She had that old lady grey wig, the hideous matronly outfits etc. Since Carol Burnett's movie version, we have got sexier, flapper-type, over-sexed Hannigans. I would love to go back to Loudon's vision. Kathy Bates was awful in the 1999 movie because they didn't allow Hannigan to be a drunk since it was a Disney movie. She was so boring in that.
Re: New Complete Recording of Guys and Dolls
John has already recorded a complete West Side Story which should be released next year. He has talked about wanting to do a complete Camelot and She Loves Me, and he has spoken to Kim Criswell about potentially recording a complete Gypsy and Hello, Dolly! Not sure what else is in the works. I was disappointed he didn't do the Big 5 R&H, especially since we have no complete Sound of Music - I guess that won't happen now since the Lincoln Center revival is coming and will likely release an alb...
Re: Upcoming Scott Rudin projects
Dylan Smith4 said: "Man, I still can't believe that some on here are supporting Rudin's producing work. It may be good quality, but you're still contributing to this horrid man who has no business being involved in the theatre scene anymore. You can call me out on this if you wish, but Rudin should have never been allowed to return."What exactly did he do? Bore off. Such woke nonsense. He's an incredible producer.
Re: Upcoming Scott Rudin projects
Kelli O'Hara is a birthright Sally in Follies. I dream of her doing this within the next 5-10 years. Lincoln Center? The Roundabout? Rudin? ...
Liza in GYPSY
Liza was the first choice for a revival in the 1980s, as was Bette Midler. Neither wanted to do 8 shows a week, and then Tyne Daly was cast after she appeared on Dolly Parton's variety show as a trucker.
Re: Upcoming Scott Rudin projects
What about Audra's A Little Night Music, which was confirmed by Sondheim when he agreed to her Gypsy. Is that a Rudin project?
James Lapine follow up to Putting it together?
On the Giants in the Sky podcast some years back he did indicate he was going to do an ITW book
Why wasn’t Rebecca Luker nominated for her Maria in The Sound of Music?
In the original production, the curtains parted and Mary Martin travelled down stage while perched on a tree branch. There, still and contemplative, she sang The Sound of Music, a hymn to nature and music. Listen to the original Broadway cast album and you'll hear how much she gets out of the song.
Lincoln Center Theater 2026-2027 Season
What are people thinking in terms of what this production will look like/feel like? Comparing it to the 1994 Carousel, 2008 South Pacific and 2015 King & I. The Carousel came from London and had its own particular style/design; the SP and K&I had their own Bart Sher aesthetic, very traditional, very sumptuous and grand. Do you think this Sound of Music will follow suit, and follow the original book word for word, or will we see influence from the movie?
Baz: EVITA to Broadway in 2027 and Zegler in LCT Sound of Music in 2026?
People are speculating Heather Headley as Mother Abbess? Surely this is wrong? Are they going to change that role to be a belter (the opposite of Audra in Gypsy), or can Headley sing operatically? I genuinely would be curious to know
what's next for Caissie Levy
She's gonna do Rose in Gypsy at the Muny
Why did Bernadette Peters win the Tony for Annie Get Your Gun?
Also what is this about Sutton reviving Anything Goes yet again? Surely this is not happening... I know people dislike her on these boards and people also don't want another Gypsy but I am looking forward to Sutton's Roundabout Madame Rose in five years' time, to echo the LuPone-after-Peters production history from all those years ago.
Why did Bernadette Peters win the Tony for Annie Get Your Gun?
Just going back to the mysterious lack of nomination for BP for ITW - is it possible that voters just didn't think she deserved the nom, the same way they snubbed her for Follies in 2012 (albeit it was the same year she was getting her special Tony so maybe that explains the Follies snub)? Joanna Gleason won the Featured Actress Drama Desk, and LuPone won the Lead Actress DD for Anything Goes. Then by Tony time, Gleason had been bumped up to Lead, upsetting the Patti train (she was guaranteed...
Why did Bernadette Peters win the Tony for Annie Get Your Gun?
She declined to be interviewed for Eddie Shapiro's diva tell-all book series - he has said so, and she rarely gives candid interviews so I'm fairly certain we'll never see a Bernadette memoir sadly
Why did Bernadette Peters win the Tony for Annie Get Your Gun?
Have we ever got the information on this Tony snub for Into the Woods for Bernadette? Why wasn't she nominated?
