Profile for James2

Book of Mormon question - how do the Orlando jokes read since DeSantis became governor? For that matter, how did they read after the Pulse shooting in 2016?

I had a feeling Salesman was going to have someone else accept the Revival Tony since nobody named Scott Rudin in their speeches all night.

Schmigadoon is performing first, which makes me doubt its Best Musical chances. Except for Moulin Rouge in 2021, no Best Musical winner has performed first in the 25 years I've been watching this show.

Anyone else notice how the role-doubling has changed for this production? Here, the Governor plays the Barber instead of the Innkeeper, and the Innkeeper's prison actor is the Captain of the Inquisition, who normally doesn't take part in the charade. I wonder how this will work.

How was rush this morning?

So now Broadway will have three actors from The Bear and two actors from The Pitt this spring.

There were 19 in line when the box office opened today. I was 5th (arrived at 8:38), and I got front row orchestra (said to be one of the last $45 seats, with more discounted at $79). The seller said the front row may miss Lithgow's face when he's sitting at the desk, but maybe I'm tall enough.

Did anyone see the first preview last night?

This show may have stopped doing the TodayTix rush. There was nothing about it on their page this morning.

I'm sorry for Dead Outlaw.

The CD is scheduled to release today, but I've only seen it on the Rhino website.

Does anyone know which shows have sent scripts to the Tony voters this year? I'm especially interested in if any musicals have done so.

I greatly underestimated how much people liked Death Becomes Her.I'm disappointed by the lack of support for Operation Mincemeat. In addition to being a delightful comedy, I think the story it tells and the way it tells that story are what we need at this time in history.

After seeing today's matinee, I'd like to see Jeremy and Bonnie do a full-scale production of Sweeney.

I saw Dead Outlaw twice last spring and thought it was terrific. I was at the first preview tonight, and right now I feel I liked it more then. I'm not sure if I preferred the smaller venue or if I overhyped the show in my head over the last year of waiting to see it again (especially after seeing Operation Mincemeat and wondering which of those two shows I liked more). Nevertheless, it's still one of the best musicals since the pandemic by a wide margin.This show's first preview gift was a b...

I've been hearing a lot about Natalie Venetia Belcon, do people think she's the frontrunner there? (Depending on how the Pirates rulings go I guess). Purpose placed LaTayna Richardson Jackson, Harry Lennix, and Jon Michael Hill above the title for opening night. They are considered in the leading acting categories.

Whoops. I guess it got jumbled with the Stranger Things opening, which was on a Friday.
