ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "And I remember previous rumors of a workshop choreographed by Michelle Dorrance. Which could be interesting." “Interesting” isn’t the word I’d use. If Dorrance is choreographing, that’s a genuinely inspired choice and a huge get. It would probably make this a must-see for me.She’s obviously a contemporary tap genius, but just as importantly, she’s a student and historian of the form who came up learning from the actual masters. For a show like 42nd Street, that’...

noahseestheatre said: "This update is leagues better than GoldDerby's iykyk"Did GoldDerby ever get a new App? I used to use the iOS app exclusively because the website is horrible to navigate but I’d migrate to the web address when making predictions as the predictions on GD app was, well, gd awful. Then the app disappeared (at least for iOS—idk about android— but I assume it the same?). So if there’s a new app is it horrible and I should stick with the site yet barely frequent to it like I u...

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "I find that Sabrina Carpenter rumor to be deeply suspicious."Same. But it’s still more believable than the Timothee Chalamet Frank rumors! 😂

The “Broadway’s most bankable star” question depends on what we mean by Broadway star. Radcliffe is absolutely bankable, but much of that comes from Harry Potter. Same with Jackman/Wolverine, Lea Michele/Glee, Denzel, Bette, etc. They can sell Broadway tickets, but their fame is not Broadway-first. If we’re talking about bankable stars whose public identity is still primarily theatre-defined, I keep landing on Sutton Foster and Jonathan Groff. They’ve both done screen work, obviously, but Bro...

Good, with reservations.“This revival at Studio 54 earns praise for Luke Evans' performance and Sam Pinkleton's exuberant direction, but critics question whether the show's transgressive edge still shocks in today's cultural landscape.”https://broadwayscorecard.com/show/the-rocky-horror-show"I feel like this is a lame summa

My Predictions: Winner: Liberation by Bess WohlFinalists: Cold War Choir Practice by Ro Reddick and Initiative* by Else Went. *If John Proctor is the Villain is indeed eligible, then I’d bump Initiative for Kimberly Belflower’s JPITV.

I can see Initiative by Else Went as a finalist.

For some reason the “edit” option is gone for me so I can’t just add this to my initial post. But the rules would have changed / loosened up prior to the 2024 nominations because all three from Merrily were nominated; and Urinetown was nominated last year for City Center. I can’t think of any other instances of more than two performers from a show or City Center productions prior to that. Others will know better than I, but I can’t think of a single time prior to this year when shows/ perform...

It does appear the eligibility either quietly changed or the rules were loosened a bit. Looking over eligibility requirements, it doesn’t state that only two performers from a show are eligible, and regarding the transfer shows “double dipping”, it states that “Productions that transfer within two separate seasons, but that are materially similar in the creative team, design, and acting company, may be considered in both seasons”. Regarding City Center, it does state “Present no less than fou...

Shubert Alley Cat said: "Any reason I cannot the “News” section to load/view in the app? Other sections like this board work fine."I have the same issue on the app, but if you click “Hot” under news things start to appear on the news section… just not under “Broadway”.

What’s going on with the Guillermo Del Toro Phantom of the Opera?

Isn’t there a rumor of a Spring Awakening film with Zegler and Billie Eilish? LOL

Context is key… This was a photo-shoot for Vogue. https://www.vogue.com/article/rocky-horror-broadway-revival-april-2026u

Let’s be real… they should lower the New Musical category to three and expand revival to four.

I mean by Tony eligibility there are new musicals but The Lost Boys is technically the only “new” musical in the sense that it’s the unknown one without previous productions and transfers. If only Dead Outlaw held off a season… and if only Paddington, Mexodus and Bat Boy had opened this season (with Bat Boy somehow eligible in New Musical as correct me if I’m wrong the published perform version is mostly the original off broadway incarnation, correct?).

^Agree completely, ColorTheHours048! Can we just talk about the amount of performances up for consideration in all four acting categories is insane. So many of them were honestly win competitive in any other year and each of the four categories had at least two or three actors left off nominations that could easily have been nominated and win competitive in any other year… (Paul Mescal, Ariana Grande, Odessa A’zion, Joel Eggerton, Amanda Seyfried, Tessa Thompson, Chase Infiniti…to name a few*...

Also, regarding these split part movies: I honestly think the best way it’s been done to date is with one of my top 20 favorite films of all time… Kill Bill. Released Pt 1 in theatre’s fall and Pt 2 in the spring. I know that wasn’t supposed to be a split movie and it’s the only time the disgraced rapist EP didn’t go scissor happy and cut the films to pieces… but that model should be followed more often. Like, what if Wicked Pt 1 was released in the summer blockbuster season and then part 2 r...
