New Hadestown Casting

Can’t believe I am saying this. I think Joshua Colley is the best Orpheus I have ever seen. I didn’t think it was possible to be better than Jack Wolfe but he is simply incredible. Love that puppy dog vibe and his voice is just gorgeous. Also like Gary Dourdan a lot very pleasantly surprised with him.

That’s actually a really good idea!

Right now Golden Derby is predicting a Schmigadoon and Cats: The Jellicle Ball win. Caissie Levy seems very likely to winBest Actress with an 83% chance. Joshua Henry seems like a lock for Best Actor with a 93% chance. Does not list predictions for Featured Actress which I was interested in but I am predicting Shoshana will likely take that.

Predictions in all categories are HERE.

Shoshana with a 65% chance while Nichelle Lewis is at a 26% chance. All others are far behind. Seems like this is Shoshana’s to loose but Nichelle Lewis does have a chance at pulling an upset.


My prediction is Lost Boys will win Scenic Design, Lighting Design, and Featured Actress. Schmigadoon will win Best Book and Orchestrations. Best Musical is a toss-up and could go either way.

Schmigadoon’s book was all over the place. Honestly could see this one going to Titanique.
"

Was it perfect? No but they had some really solid jokes and comedic moments. The storyline flowed easily. They were able to keep most of the storylines from the tv show and bring it right onto the stage which was impressive.

I think it's difficult to write a musical with perfectlydeveloped characters. Most musicals, even very good ones, lack in that department. But minimizing Two Strangers to a surface level, primitive Hallmark movie is ridiculous and short minded. B


SCHMIGADOON! Reviews

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "I was charmed by most of act one but by the end of the act it loses steam and act 2 is basically a mess.

My main problem with the TV show remains: the songs aren’t good enough. The jokes lean obvious, and the melodies are too close to the originals to be interesting — it just makes you wish you were hearing the actual songs.

There are too many side plots that Cinco Paul has tried to shoehorn into a 2.5 hour musical. Thi


Very Early 2026 Tony Winner Predictions

I am curious how the latest Broadway Groses will play into who will win Best Musical. Schmigadoon is obviously the front runner but looking at the latest Broadway grosses (week ending May 3), I think The Lost Boys has a strong case to win Best Musical because it’s clearly leading the nominees commercially. It brought in $1,003,881 for the week, making it the only Best Musical nominee over the $1 million mark, compared to Titaníque at $730,431, Schmigadoon! at $646,129, and T

Mary Poppins US Tour or Bway Return?

Are there any plans of Mary Poppins ever returning to the US, either on Broadway or another U.S. Tour. It had a recent revival in London and the U.K. Tour is now closing. 

Read this on Tours to You and was wondering if this was true. I have been praying for this show to return to the U.S. for years. 

  • Pre-Tour Notes
      • In spring 2023, the John Gore Organization, which oversees Broadway Across America, sent a survey to patrons among the various markets they manage. This survey was to gauge interest in a number of shows, including a revival of Mary Poppins. The show also appeared in the post-Tony Awards survey in 2023, the pre- and post-Tony Awards surveys in 2024, and the pre-Tony Awards survey sent in early 2025.
      • On May 27, 2025, the booking company Bond Theatrical added this show among its other offerings, stating that they are currently booking this show to venues for full-week engagements.

New WICKED Cast Replacements this month and next?

I am really hoping that Sophie Evans will cross the pond and replace Allie Trimm once her contract is up. She is one of the best Glinda's we have ever had!!!! And I hope they let her keep her British Accent!!!

(FIRST BACK) Thank Goodness - Sophie Evans | WICKED London | 15th September 2021 (Reopening)
