Kad said: "If the clue was “a certain recent breakout star with a Tony nom,” then the person who makes the most sense is Hannah Cruz."

Except Hannah has made it very clear she's more interested in doing plays than musicals going forward.  She's said on multiple occasions that she actually doesn't love singing and Maria doesn't seem the sort of role she'd go for given all that she's said in her interviews I've read and watc

Lisalemann said: "I agree with Jonathan Groff and Hugh Jackman shouldbe added to that list. Leah Michele maybe not as much - but Chess's sales numbers drop off quite a bit when she is on a scheduled vacation day."

Just in Time is the first time Jonathan has shown that he can bring box office to a show as Merrily was mostly about Dan.

Lea rescued FG and made it a hit and Chess only got to open because of her and the fact that it opened big and

Sutton Ross said: "JoJo didn't set the box office on fire at Moulin Rouge, and thinking aboutAugust when both Aaron and Nicholas will be out at the same time? I mean, granted Aaron will be right down the street but.....that will be rough to come back from."

yeah Nik is out for two weeks end of July early August and Aaron is out two weeks mid August so most of August is Jojo and the understudies.  the understudies for both guys are terrific but g

No she was not scheduled to be out tonight.It must be that she's upset not being nominated a TONY. Seems obvious enough!"


Well this is all pretty transparent isn’t it.

id say it’s Karma that she hasn&

I will bet that HB will be the audience pleaser. I saw it 3 times 60 years ago, and there were multiple showstoppers at every performance. I recently played the castrecording for the first time in a long while, and find it on repeat because it is so enjoyable. I personally think that the score is much better than Kiss. I have never liked Charlie

Ball of Buttah said: "Saw this a second time yesterday and had the best time! Brought a friend with me and she loved it. I saw this first in previews and the difference was astounding to me.

First, the sound design was infinitely much better and I could understand most of the lyrics in the group numbers. They also amped up the lead vocals' mics so they didn't get drowned out by the orchestra.

Second and, obviously, 6 months after previews the whole cast

poisonivy2 said: "So I finally saw Chess last night. Bad things first: the book is RIDICULOUS. The Cold War chess love triangle had all these cringe geopolitical jokes that took me out. When the Arbiter (Bryce Pinkham) made the Biden joke I felt my eyes roll to the back of my head. So it was overall really dumb. The CIA and KGB stuff was ridiculous too.

The Russian accents were horrific. Maybe I'm just spoiled because I saw Heated Rivalry and then Ponies, and the actor

Kad said: "The fact that this couldn’t sell tickets even before disastrous word of mouth and negative reviews suggests the title is not a sufficient draw alone."

yes you have a point. I was a teenager when the movie came out, it was a hit but that was a long time ago and I've not seen it in high rotation in streaming services in Australia,  not sure about the US, so you'd have to mostly see it as nostalgia for ( and i hate to put it like t

BrodyFosse123 said: "ACL2006 said: "But the musical isn't the movie. it would bomb on tour as well."

Not necessarily. The mainstream masses are unfamiliar with Broadway though they have heard the titles, which are basically the huge selling points on touring shows. They are unaware of the gossip and a show’s history, etc. This tour will attract fans of the film, which is enormously loved. Of course, they’re in for a big surprise when none

Kad said: "Reviews are only one aspect of what determines Tony winners. There are 800-odd voters and critics make up a statistically irrelevant part of that body and frankly reviews a whole don’t matter much unless there is overwhelming consensus in either direction, positive or negative. Plenty of very well-reviewed shows and performances havegone home empty handed; plenty of shows with adequate reviews have taken home big prizes."

Agreed.  I've seen
