Perhaps he'll throw himself a celebratory motorcade through the streets of Dallas.

I think Jack Black and Daniel Radcliffe would be a great team.

Lane and Metcalf are always well worth seeing, but I'm just as excited about the choices for Biff and Happy. I would love to see Abbott/Charlie and Ahlers/Clock Twink on stage, though I would probably need binoculars at the Winter Garden.

Judging by his performance in Hamnet (don't miss it!), Jupe is perfect casting. The last 20 minutes are devastating, in large part due to him.

Unless I slipped into a brief coma, the dream ballet was cut completely on Saturday night. I know they're in previews, but I think this revival would have benefitted greatly from an out-of-town tryout. If you are charging Broadway prices you should be further along.

For starters, Cranston's twinkling eyes and amused smirk and Jean-Baptiste's contented smile. Does anything read as tragedy to you? 

Why in heaven's name would they try to make All My Sons look like a comedy?

Worse yet, could van Hove be staging it as a comedy?

Sounds like the most entertaining thing about this show is casting Quinn Titcomb as one of the Dollys.

I guess this means Schmigadoon doesn't have much chance to make it to New York?

I enjoyed the Hamilton reunion, but I was surprised and disappointed that Anthony Ramos didn't get a spotlight. He's one of the biggest names to emerge from that company!

I know they're just trying to manufacture some excitement, but this whole "will he or won't he?" is just silly.  You can see a lot more than Mr. Peck's face if you do a little Googling.

I think the funniest thing I've ever seen on stage was a Forbidden Broadway parody of Patti LuPone singing/mangling/garbling the title song from Anything Goes. The woman can sing, but she sure can't enunciate!

Honestly, a lightweight, comedic musical like Joseph seems like a good fit for him, though I wish he'd chosen a better show. Maybe he's tired of Stephen Schwartz, but Pippin has a similar tone and better music, as does Godspell (until the end, of course).

They had better make it a musical, and they had better hire Charlie Stemp.  

Finally getting to see "Urinetown" for the first time (Lyric Stage in Boston) this weekend, and was wondering what the heck happened with the Tony Awards back in 2002.  Isn't it strange that "Urinetown" had the Best Book, Best Score, and Best Direction, but "Thoroughly Modern Millie" was the Best Original Musical? 

Thank you for your reply. Looks like you have your priorities in order -- tickets over accommodations :-)

What a terrific thread! I find your reviews very well done, and if I do manage to make it there later this year, I think your advice will be very helpful.

I wonder if you might have any hotel recommendations in the area, walkable to all the shows? I don't need anything ultra-swanky, but preferably modern and casual and fun. Somewhere I might find Charlie Stemp :-)
