My only tweak would be Evita edging out Paddington here.I'll be so curious to see the inaugural nominees for the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance category. Ragtime submitted "Back to Before," "Make Them Hear You," and "Wheels of a Dream" while Evita submitted "Don't Cry for Me Argentina.""Interesting,I forgot about this new category. Any word on what other shows submitted? I feel like anything from Chess would be a lock for this.

I think that's a solid lineup. I can't see Ragtime not winning this.

I'm confused by the negativity coming out of a couple of rehearsal videos. He sounds great! They all sound great! Let's give the show a chance before tearing it apart.

No out-of-town tryout feels crazy to me. I'm assuming they're doing a ton of workshops? I want to be excited about this but definitely skeptical.....

If this were to transfer, do we think Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally would sell tickets?

quizking101 said: "These were the numbers that CATS probably would’ve been pulling if they took the big prize over RAGTIME. It’s amazing what announcing a closing notice and the proceeding to gouge people on all the remaining tickets will do to boost your numbers."I just don't think this is true. Would the Tony for best revival really have amounted to much higher ticket numbers? We know it didn't help Sunset Boulevard or Company.

Great casting! I'm going to assume Alaska will do a Broadway stint at some point.

Amber Iman and NLB are inspired casting choices. I don't know the others but they appear to have a strong following. I continue to be impressed with the Hadestown producing/casting team.

John Adams said: "bwaylvsong1 said: "just the odds of playing a Jimmy-qualifying role in itself are incredibly low!"There's no such thing as a "Jimmy-qualifying role". It's the students' performances that qualify them for one of the various scholarships/awards."Of course it's based on the student performances but the question becomes.....there was no other performance in the state that could be recognized? There's clearly politics at play here. I wonder how many students from low-income schoo...

Great show, as always. So many talented youngsters, excited to see where they all land.I think both winners were the best of the bunch. I wish someone would help with song selection for the finalists because some of these songs are wayyyyy over these high school kids' heads. I think Samia picked the most relatable song for a high schooler, which is why she excelled (and of course had excellent vocals as well). I do find it confusing how students are able to attend the Jimmys multiple times - ...

BLACK SWAN and WONDER world premiere musicals and more set for American Repertory Theatre

May 27, 2026 — 11:38:19 PM

Caught the second preview and it's quite the experience. The "thriller" aspect is full throttle in the second act with great effects and lighting, all of which were really well done. The music is very Dave Malloy and, for the most part, it works. I think some of the songs could be shuffled around. The book is..............fine. Act one is a slow burn and then act two escalates so fast; they need to bridge the two better.I remember the mother character being more abusive in the movie and I thi...

I like the concept album but I still have a hard time imagining this on stage. Happy to be proven wrong though!

Asking genuinely- is the Broadway Journal a reputable source? I've never heard of it. If it is legit, they really need to work on their site. Myspace looked more professional than this.

SUFFS Proshot Airing May 8 on PBS

May 9, 2026 — 10:42:45 AM

Glad I was finally able to see this (I wish we got PBS proshots for every show). I agree with the others - the direction and physical production are not great but the music is strong and the book works in places, and then doesn't in others. No offense to Shaina Taub because I think she has written a great musical but I do wish we would have had another actress for Alice. It's a tricky part and I think the acting could have used a little nuisance. But ultimately, so glad I saw this and I can't...
