I've recently been dreaming of Sara Bareilles and Brian D'Arcy James doing this at Encores. They have such great chemistry, and I think this is one of the scores in the canon that would truly fit Bareilles' voice like a glove (in addition to the meta songwriting aspect for the character). And a great vehicle for her charm too. Agree with others that I cannot imagine this show needing a showcase beyond an encores run, but think it would be fun and worthwhile to do it there.

Huge congratulations to both of them. Audra is now the most Tony nominated performer in history (11 nominations), and Danny ties Jason Robards as the most Tony nominated male performer in history (8 nominations)!!!!Feel so grateful to be alive in an era when these two are onstage.

Any thoughts as to who will take this category this year? I recently saw Purpose and thought all of the women were phenomenal. Would love to see LaTanya Richardson Jackson score her first win (Alana Arenas is incredible too. As is Kara Young as always). Other than this, Jessica Hecht feels like a possible winner! Would love to hear predictions.

Anybody else think Kelli's gonna win Best Actress? The OCC win bodes well, and I could also see her picking up the Drama League (they've been opting for celebrated Broadway stars recently even-Sutton, Annaleigh, Danny) giving her even more momentum. Know the show is closed but feels like this strange year could work in her favor. I know Maleah has a great shot too but I wonder if they'll just reward Hell's Kitchen in Featured Actress.

Agree with all those critical of Julianna Margulies’ casting. She is a racist, Islamophobic bigot and it goes far beyond her horrible comments on that podcast. The things she was sharing on social media in the fall were so stomach churning - posts demonizing and fear mongering about Brown people that genuinely makes it more dangerous for us here. as a previous fan of her and her work- it is beyond disappointing.But I hope she is met with consistent backlash for the rest of her career. We will...

Re: the clip- I adore Sutton but has anyone noticed a gradual decline in her vocal placement? Definitely understandable considering it can happen with age and less vocal use. Her vibrato has definitely slowed and in general her voice is less "pingy" She still is wonderful but its unfortunate- I feel like she would have sung this exceptionally a decade ago.

Does anyone think Radcliffe could win Featured? I am trying to think of who else would be competitive in that category this year. Also I'm assuming Mendez will be in Lead?

Ugh I hate to say that I did not love this. I am a really big admirer of Fasthorse’s general artistic and political mandate, as well as her previous collaborations with other Indigenous artists & theatermakers. Sadly, I found both this play and production extremely lacking.I completely agree with the sentiment that this is a one-joke play. I think there is real satirical possibility in exploring the myopia and self-righteousness of white liberals (especially in a post-2020 discursive landscap...

I’ve recently been ruminating about how much I miss some of the longer interviews, backstage videos, and conversations from Broadway.com. It feels like with the creation of the Broadway Show and the organizational changes, they’ve started creating much shorter bite-sized content generally. Now I know people have complex feelings about their coverage in general, but Broadway.com’s interviews is a huge part of what made me fall in love with the theater and learn more about those who make it.And...

I've been so moved by all the posts and articles highlighting Carolee's banner year being in two shows (her 15th and 16th broadways shows)!While both productions seem to have mixed reviews at best (we'll see how critics are with BC), I was wondering if anyone thought she could potentially finally get her Tony for Bad Cinderella? I know this might seem a bleak way to reward a veteran given the buzz around the show, but she seems to be getting show-stopping buzz thus far! It would certainly be ...

I have so much love and admiration for SJB as a performer but she’s fascinating to examine as a musical theater performer. She has this stunning, rich musical theater voice reminiscent of the greats and such warmth and vitality in interviews. But her interpretive skills have always been hit and miss for me. I think she sometimes gets lost in this very broad, generic over-emoting thing, especially when doing dramatic work. It’s as if she feels she has to drain her natural vibrancy to embody so...

Daisy in the new Great Gatsby musical (written by Majok and Florence Welch) ?

Any recent rumblings about casting (specifically Arthur and Guenevere)? Feel like we always go through this anticipation with Sher revivals. So excited to see who finally does this.
