If Bess Wohl wins, she's the first female American playwright to win Best Play in 37 years.

BrodyFosse123 said: "They’re doing “Hello” with the gimmick being Rannells and Gad reprising their original spots in the number and the rest of the original cast making their reveals in the spots regularly done by the ensemble Elders."This is ... not what they are doing.

If the audience didn't know coming in, they did right before the show started. Matt Stone came out and gave a speech explaining that the show was reopening after a fire. He mentioned some of the firefighters and first responders who were in attendance last night. He then brought out Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal, who presented a proclamation, recognizing the FDNY's heroic efforts to save the theatre, which was given to the FDNY's Chief of Department John Esposito. The news cr...

Closed or not, I think Liberation goes all the way this year.

That is sad news. So talented. Seeing this brought back a memory of seeing him as Neville Landless in The Mystery of Edwin Drood. When the actors are campaigning to be chosen as the murderer, he was in our section. "Vote for me! I did it!" he said, as he stormed in. My friend who was with me told him we were voting for Jana Schneider's Helena Landless, his character's sister. Without missing a beat, he petulantly responded back, "But she always gets to sing the song!" RIP.

Anika Noni Rose's last three Broadway credits have been in straight plays: A Raisin in the Sun (Tony nomination), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Uncle Vanya.

If it's their money, what do you care? Why shouldn't they stand behind their play, the most acclaimed new play of the season, and give it every chance in the world to find an audience? Why slam them for 'ego,' rather than devotion and commitment?

Except that Heathers is, and has been, making money since it started performances in June. It had the highest advance sales in New World history, and broke the house record multiple times.

Falsettolands said: "Metcalf will undoubtedly receive two nominations this season. Has anyone ever been nominated twice in the same season in the SAME acting category? (Yes, I know others have been nominated twice in the same season in DIFFERENT categories)"No one has been nominated twice in the same acting category, only leading and featured. Metcalf will probably be leading for Little Bear Ridge Road, and based on precedent, may be featured for Death of a Salesman. For the 1999, 2012 and 20...

To be even more clear: the chandelier does not start from the stage and does not hit the stage in this tour version. It rises and drops over the audience. In all other ways, the current North American tour is a facsimile of the West End production.

The chandelier drops straight down at the end of Act 1 in the current tour in Baltimore. Not sure what that critic is going on about. It's quite like the chandelier drop in the original silent movie - without actually hitting the seats of course. It drops quite low and stays down during intermission before it rises again during the Entr'acte for Act 2 as the opera's "new" chandelier. It works very well, and the rest of the production looks and sounds great. It's pretty much a complete facsimi...

The Shubert Organization appears to be reporting the full house attendance figure of 1061 seats, rather than the 760 seats that have actually been on sale for the present weeks, with the balcony off sale. So for last week's figures, it should be 4615 theatergoers filling 6088 possible seats for an actual capacity figure of around 76%.
