OK so here are my overall thoughts on what this could mean for the TONY Awards...

starting with Distinguished Performance Award, there are four potential nominees for Lead Actor in a Musical: those being Christopher, Evans, Henry and Uranowitz. I am surprised that Sam Tutty and Aaron Tveit were notably absent but we will see how the other awards shake out...Leading Actress in a Musical interestingly has six potential noms (Chase, Levy, Michele, Mindele, Pitts and Vosk) however we're only expecting 5 noms to make it to the Tony's so pick your poison to who doesn't make it...The featured categories is where it gets tricky because the Drama League can only nominate two people per show. For potential Featured Actress in a Musical we only have two: Bean and Hsu, hoping that Cruz, Lewis, Kurtz or Tempress can get noms for their shows in other awards tho so we have a good 5 or 6. Potential Featured on the other hand, we have Bourzgui, De Shields, and Rousouli

I think I did hear one rumor that Jason Segel is attached

ACL2006 said: "It's official!! Is this still eyeing the Circle?"

I heard Edward Albee's The Goat or Who is Sylvia? with Pedro Pascal & Sara Paulson was eyeing the circle

blaxx said: "Neurodivergent, we are all neurodiverse.

And what does that have anything to do with ReNt?"

well if you read the article it does make a clear point

I mean I gotta say...ive been waiting for Lin-Manuel to direct another movie musical after tick, tick...BOOM! but to do one with this stacked cast??? goddamn, he aint messing around...depending on how long production is for this, maybe this could be a last minute fall festival surprise...either way I cannot wait for this

Yeah that was way before the show...

EDSOSLO858 said: "We've been hearing a lot about Broadway rumors for most of these shows, but also INTO THE WOODS supposedly wants the Shed after its West Endrun at the Noel Coward in the fall.

"

The Shed huh? that’s an interesting choice…I was also thinking Perelman Arts Center would’ve been a good choice as well

MezzA101 said: "Watch the Cats of Broadway’s ‘Jellicle Ball’ Werk

This is genius!!!! Wish more shows could promote this way

Dolly80 said: "Expect an announcement very soon.. even as soon asthis weekend when it wins at the Oliviers."

How do you know this? Do you have a solid inside source?

From my understanding, Cats: The Jellicle Ball is the only open-ended musical revival…however they appear to be staggering their ticket sales (currently until September) which I think is definitely a smart choice

InTheBathroom1 said: "I must admit theBeachesnumbers are higher than I was anticipating. Not great, obviously."

Yeah these numbers for beaches fear of 13 and balusters are not good…but we have to remind ourselves as we get further into the spring, we won’t have a closing notice for the shows opening this season until after Tony nominations come out
