Lost Boys, Jellicle, and Schmigadoon all have a lot of availability. If any of these shows saw a move in sales, it doesn’t seem substantial or immediate."Rocky Horror looksverywell-soldfor the week, although perhaps that was already the case pre-Tonys."Rocky Horror has been holding back a lot of tickets in the mezz to look like it's sold ...

James2 said: "Schmigadoon is performing first, which makes me doubt its Best Musical chances. Except for Moulin Rouge in 2021, no Best Musical winner has performed first in the 25 years I've been watching this show."Schmigadoon! isn't winning anything until Best Musical so it makes sense they would be first instead of coming out of the blue at the end and then winning the big award. Plus, the fact that you mention Moulin Rouge during the COVID year which doesn't really count as a Tony show is...

Here is the only predictions article anyone should read and go by:https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/05/theater/tony-awards-2026-predictions.html

Caps aren't a "trend." People have been wearing them forever. I've worn a cap many times to the theatre. If it was blocking someone's view and they politely asked me to take it off, I would. If you think wearing a cap in the theatre is in poor taste, then that's on you. Don't bring your mess to my house.

MadsonMelo said: "So, I years the rush for the show is not great.Im planning on seeing this on Thursday.There are $44 tickets on Center balcony and $59 on orch partial view.Any recomendations? Should I stick to rush?"I went on Sunday and got center mezz last row for $59 and saw everything. It was actually a great seat and had no one in the seats next to me. I recommend paying as little as possible for this show because it's terrible. Go see Schmigadoon! instead if you haven't yet.

ELP said: "DaveyG said: "The Drama League and OCC nominations are usually full of nonsense."I just went on their website and if I read it correctly ANYONE can become a member and a "voter" for $19. What am I missing?"You're not missing anything... you're absolutely right except I think it's closer to $100. People on this board don't do their research or know basic facts so they think it's some kind of exclusive awards body when it's just basically a People's Choice Award that anyone can vote ...

I found the show very enjoyable. It's definitely a crowd pleaser. I'm still deciding if I liked this more than Two Strangers. I think I'd pick Schmigadoon over Two Strangers because I'm in my big splashy musical era. I found McKenzie Kurtz to be the standout in the show.

If Cole has the flu then what does that mean for the $5 show today? Does that mean they'll be out for Mary's special birthday performance? That would suck.

Thank G-d Green is gone from theatre reviews. He was absolutely awful. The only reason people are saying bring back Brantley is because Green was so bad, he made Brantley look like Shakespeare. Brantley is a curmudgeon and should stay on X or whatever platform he's on now. I hope they'll get a younger critic who'll actually know what they're talking about. Green is the main reason the NY Times Critics' pick has no influence anymore. Not to mention, the Times doesn't have any influence when it...

You can wear anything to the theatre nowadays. Shorts and t-shirts are totally fine. Just don't go shirtless.

Has anyone done a wellness check on CoffeeBreak?

Now 4.85 million seems good, but that's still a 40% decline from 22 years ago:"[In 2003] Despite attempts to attract viewers to the Tonys broadcast by using more celebrity presenters, ratings were about the same as last year's record low, according to an early tally by the Nielsen Media Research. It showed that 7.95 million households ...

Basically, it didn't give us any clarity on the close races other than that it looks like Jonathan Groff will win Lead Actor over Darren Criss.

The NY Times voters poll is out and Paulson polled a huge 25% of the voters. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/theater/tony-awards-predictions-2025.htmlDiscuss...

I would say Variety spoke to 10 to 20 voters at the most. I think if it was a big number like more than 50 then they would've said so.

Here are Variety's predictions, which they said they surveyed Tony voters for. Unlike the Holy Grail NY Times voters poll, they didn't say how many voters they spoke to. But at least it's based on speaking to Tony voters so I'm posting it here. Tomorrow, of course, is the almost 100% accurate NY Times voters poll so take Variety's with a grain of salt. I'll believe the "Purpose" and Jonathan Groff predictions if the NY Times poll says so.https://variety.com/lists/2025-tony-awards-nominations-...
