Best Musical Revival
Mar 29 2026, 09:34:29 AM
A significant chunk of the voters are from out-of-town, so I think that is something to keep in mind as well. I think Ragtime has it, though. Cats: The Jellicle Ball is still Cats at the end of the day, so some voters could be alienated based off that.

- Juliette Lewis and Harvey Guillénare…not singers.

- Rachel Dratch is an intriguing choice for Narrator. Lands the laughs, but not commanding enough for me at least.
- LUKE EVANS! JESUS CHRIST! I am wet and confused and he really is putting everything into it. And that entrance rivals Andr&eacu

CATS: THE JELLICLE BALL Previews

I saw Cats: The Jellicle Ball at the Broadhurst yesterday (I didn’t see it downtown). “Memory” was clearly transposed, and I wasn’t a fan of the key choice. It ended up feeling like one of the weaker moments in the score when it’s usually the emotional peak. Curious how others felt.

‘Proof’ Revival to Open in the Spring at Shubert Theatre

Most likely was a mistake as they posted on X:
Don Cheadle and Ayo Edebiri will make their Broadway debuts in a revival of “Proof,” directed by Tony winner Thomas Kail. “Proof” begins previews March 31, 2026, at a Shubert theater to be announced, with opening night set for April 16.

Mr. Wormwood said: "Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere and I missed it but will this be eligible for Tonys for Best Revivalsince it's sort of a "return engagement." I know it's same Director, Choreographer & Designers so they'd all be ineligible."
Yes, Mamma Mia will, but Beetlejuice will not.

Wanted, at least thematically, seems like a show that will go into the Longacre and flop.

This tour exists to be cheaper, they wouldn't hire veterans as its counter to the mission."
I guess, but I believe it was level 1 touring contracts, which kinda counteract that point.

SMASH To Close June 22, 2025
Jun 10 2025, 07:46:47 PM
TennisFan said: "Mr. Wormwood said: "Smash had a pretty quick fall. Just a couple weeks ago, it was looking to still be in much better shape than a show like Boop or RWHC and might make it through the summer. But the wheels fell off quickly which is almost worse than chugging along at a low number. It showed audience rejection more than just audience disinterest or lack of awareness.
Why they didn't just do Bombshell, I'll never understand."

Leslie Odom, Jr. to return to HAMILTON for limited rin

DramaTeach said: "It makes sense for their 10 year anniversary if some others come back too. If it’s just him, it kinda looks like…he couldn’t find anything else? He was absolutely my favorite in the show though, so anyone who gets to see him in lucky."
Not an OG, but I could see Mandy coming back since she is almost done with Sunset.

getatme said: "I was at first preview of this show after hearing so much about it over the past few months and found that I liked it quite a bit, but I didn't love it. Perhaps I let the hype get to me, perhaps it just doesn't fill the Longacre, perhaps it was a little bit of the cast re-finding their footing. I found it to be overall good, but not something I'm raving about the next day.
I liked the score a lot, one of my favorite Yazbeck works, tuneful, catchy

Johnny Oleksinki, The New York Post: There’s trauma after trauma. Yet what’s so puzzling about “Redwood” is that it’s a textbook tearjerker — a mom in mourning rediscovering herself midair, weighty speeches about losing everything — that leaves your eyes totally dry.
Yikes

I just think he is an Idina fangirl. He liked "If/Then" too.

THE LOST BOYS to open at the Palace on Broadway in 2026

A vampire musical, no out of town tryout, opening in a large house, major involvement from a Michael... sounds like another Dance of the Vampires. 🤣
