I know we are all watching the Tonys on Sunday but just a heads up on this. The USA Network has curated a "Stage to Screen" marathon of Law & Order: SVU episodes where the cast contains many stage actors. For example, at 10am "Night" stars Alfred Molina, Bradley Cooper, Angela Lansbury, Bebe Neuwirth and Rita Moreno. I am scheduling my DVR.  The marathon runs on USA from 10am -11pm on Sunday 6/7.

Name your one unanticipated sneak-in for a win.
 

Kelli O’Hara for Lead Actress in a play.

 

If Erivo isn’t available I’d like to see Micaela Diamond as Fosca.

I’ll buy tickets for Passion regardless of cast announcements. 

Are Adrienne Warren and Dee Roscioli still attached to this? Any new casting?

This cast!!! I died and went to heaven. And Adam Heller as Vandergelder. He is my favorite Tevye.

And the wretched yelling like a wounded animal. Out.

DaveyG: Oh, how I adore her. She's given me so many unforgettable nights in the theatre - Drowsy, The Prom, her "Ladies Who Lunch" in Old Friends, and so many more...

Wholeheartedly agree.  Plus I would add that her Miss Hannigan at Papermill was an absolute delight. And I loved her as the Baroness in Lempicka. 

 

 

I am so thrilled with this news. I love Beth Leavel and bought my tickets a while ago so this is such a gift. Can’t wait. She’s going to kill it.

Jordan Catalano: …She’s just always going to be my number one…

I can relate. I always think of a blanket when I hear her. I just find her that comforting and secure.

I could not make Heather’s show at Carnegie Hall earlier this month but based on this clip I would love to see her in a future Sunset Boulevard revival.

I had no idea that Mr. Lane wrote for so many TV shows including Lou Grant, Cagney & Lacey and Mad About You.  
 

I just loved Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and saw it twice on Broadway. Last year the Stratford revival was sublime. Fingers crossed for a Broadway revival soon.   RIP Mr. Lane.

This is a first. I have never seen Chicago listed on TDF ever. It's up for one show -Thursday 6/4 at 2pm.

darquegk: These are the sort of prices I'd only expect if they said someone like Bad Bunny was playing Usnavi.

And they still hold back all the front center orchestra seats and hype the $230 price for the side orchestra like we should buy with some sense of urgency. ¡Carajo! I am so over this joint. I will wait for the Broadway transfer and experience it in a real theater. 

The Lost Boys - Orchestra R 118 - hard to see facial expressions but well centered for all the scenic extras.

I bailed after two episodes.
