This is such terrible news. He was a unique talent and a lovely person.

It's the students' performances that qualify them for one of the various scholarships/awards."This is incorrect- there are specific roles and shows that are eligible for Jimmy awards and many that are not- see this list:https://www.arshtcenter.org/media/ezamm3va/2026-qualifying-shows-and-roles-list.pdfFor exa...

I think Samia picked the most relatable song for a high schooler, which is why she excelled (and of course had excellent vocals as well). I do find it confusing how students are able to attend the Jimmys multiple times - this was Samia's third time there, a finalist every year she appeared. Clearly she's great but it...

What strange speeches to end a joyful night!

Rachel Ziegler has a very nice voice, but I don't understand the purpose of this segment. Show extended footage, clips, quotes, anything? Invite the original cast on stage? Anything?

Letting Nathan Lane give that speech for the production was a classy move.

I can't imagine The Lost Boys sold any tickets from that, specifically, but their cast has done a very good job tonight selling their show.

Terrance McNally's husband made a lovely post earlier this evening.

This free speech segment didn't work.

ACL2006 said: "would P!nk agree to be the 43rd Velma in Chicago?!?! That was fantastic!!"I can't imagine she needs it but she sounded incredible.

Should have gone to DeShields.

I loved Giant, but not sad at all that Liberation won. This season was so awful for musicals and so lovely for plays.

Shoshana finally getting her damn award. Amen.

willep said: "So is it a set script that they just divide between however many actors/celebs they have on a given night? I noticed it's not the same number of people each night."I imagine every performance is different. There was no Mr. T. segment tonight.

Saw the evening show. It's very uneven. When it's funny, it's very, very, very funny. Jackie Hoffman and Andrea Martin were great. Jeff Hiller and Christopher Jackson, also. I really disliked everything Mario Cantone was doing. Just read the material, It doesn't need your impressions.Rita Wilson was fine -- if there weren't a better impression of Celine Dion being done a few blocks away, this would have been quite funny.Definitely worth it for the poetry segment alone.

The seatmaps for the upcoming performances are devastating."I keep getting ads for Mothers Day tickets. Maybe they are waiting for those shows to be over?"Shows don't normally close in the middle of a week. They announce on a Tuesday (normally) that the show will be closing on such and such date, almost always a Sunday.

The show isn’t great. We all know this, but chill out. Go touch grass. Breathe outside the theater bubble. Would you want a bunch of people guessing when you’d be fired? Humanity much?"It's puzzling someone on this board doesn't want a new show to come in that will give others a chance to ...
