Ok i'll leave this "fight" here, i just think that is very unfair to judge an actor based on his celebrity status and not on his talent. Also being a draw to audiences is good for the theatre

CoffeeBreak said: "No. Never said I disliked Dan or his performance - he's the celebrity to help sell the show. It's commercial theater."You dislike that he is Harry Potter and a celebrity, that's part of his identity. Whatever you like it or not he isn't worse than Ubeda or another actor just because he played an iconic role and he has many fans. He's playing Charlie, not Harry Potter and many people that praise him for his acting aren't Potter fans at all

CoffeeBreak said: "The difference for us is Dan could be replaced withany other actor/semi-singer and no one notice the differenceother than Potter fans. He helps sell the show to tourists. We saw both Dan and an understudy. The role was better sung with the understudy and the "friendship" just as in tact. It was made clear the glue was Mendez and Groff and the "celebrity" driver was Dan." So you dislike Dan because he is Harry Potter and he's a celebrity that sells a show to tourists? LOL th...

CoffeeBreak said: "Ubeda's performance is better than Radcliffe without saying a word. Replace Ricamora or Dixon with Ben Cook.Ok it's clear you love Ubeda and Ilinoise but what's your problem with Radcliffe? It's the third time you look down on his performance and no matter how hard you try to make Ubeda the frontrunner in the Best Featured Actor category, he isn't because the actors in Merrily have the reviews, the success and the narrative to win, also don't forget that Broadway is very in...

With this, I think Merrily might as well have that Tony engraved now, and Jonathan Groff too seems to be squarely in the lead for Best Actor, though it seems like Bebe Neuwirth might be pulling ahead for Featured Actress (or at least in direct competition with Lindsay Mendez)."Do you think Daniel Radcliffe is still the frontrunner in Best Featured Actor?

ElephantLoveMedley said: "Fantastic news. This significantly helps the show's Tony chances all around." Do you think Jonathan, Daniel and Lindsay are now the favorites in the musical categories to win the Tonys with the extension?

This fall? What? The winter will arrive in three weeks, it doesn't make sense

This fall? What

"Daniel has an incredibly convincing American accent (maybe more-so than the entirety of the 2013 London cast) and fits into the role like a glove. His vocals aren't always the strongest, but the acting in a Sondheim show is far more important to me, so I didn't mind very much if he was off-key or running out of breath towards the end of long phrases. His "Franklin Shepard Inc." was another stand out."Do you think he will be nominated for the Tony if the musical tranfers next year? Or he isn'...
