Sorry if this a dumb question..... could the score be eligible for best new score next year since it hasn't been on Broadway yet?

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.

"Warriors" the musical coming to Broadway

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,

Tonight on The Voice, Broadway alum and traveling Jesus in JCS Aaron LaVigne received two chair turns. John Legend told him that he is currently writing two musicals - anyone have any intel on this?

Stunning album. Journey On is an underrated gem of a musical theater song. Joshua Henry deserves 10 tony awards for this.

THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES To Close January 4, 2026
Nov 24 2025, 05:46:38 PM
The show wasn’t great, nor was Redwood, but it still makes me sad that two of our most prominent theater stars took a chance on originating roles in new musicals, only for both to fall flat. It’s hard to blame producers for hesitating to back new work this season.

"I’d be genuinely shocked if both Cynthia and Ariana didn’t score Oscar nominations (I think Ari has a real shot at winning)."
I have seen a number of predictors now questioning whether or not they'll even be nominated at this point. Even if Grande makes the Best Supporting Actress lineup, I still have a hard time seeing her win. The Academycanbe pretty snobby towards fantasy characters. It's arguably why Ian McKellen (Fellowship of th

I'm curious who sings this song - the parents? The lyrics aren't amazing but might work better in the context of the show. I have tickets for January, looking forward to it.

I think it's great to see "big names" replacing in shows, I wish we saw more of it.
(but also Kate Baldwin deserves to be originating roles in new shows all the time. Her voice is gorgeous!)

I'm not sure what she's been up to but I agree we need her back on Broadway!
I've been meaning to make a message like this about Jessie Mueller.

What would you love to see adapted as a musical?
Aug 21 2025, 09:18:58 PM
I've always said that Ms. Congeniality would be a fun choice. Staying in the Sandra Bullock-world, While You Were Sleeping could make a super cute, small musical. With Sara Bareilles music, of course.

I don't understand the endgame of this. Getting ABF to step down? Closing the show?
Is it better to have a show that has Asian representation that is flawed or to not have an Asian represented show at all? Genuinely asking...

I absolutely loved this musical! It’s so exciting to see creators take bold risks like this—especially when the payoff is so rewarding. Just for Dear Bill alone, they deserve the Tony for Best Score. While I haven’t made it to every new musical this season (I’m working on it!), this one would definitely get my vote for Best Musical.
On a different note, I caught a matinee and was honestly shocked by the audience's behavior. Multiple phones went off,
