Would love to experience the OG Sweeney Todd cast and production at the then-Uris. I guess the tour recording is fairly close, but the full live experience would be even better. On the topic of getting older -- I always start to feel elderly when something I saw the original cast of gets revived. Miss Saigon was the first time with Falsettos close behind, but it's beginning to happen with more frequency now with Sunset Blvd. and Ragtime -- and Other Desert Cities coming up. (Admittedly, ODC i...

Wow, Death of a Salesman is going through the roof. Happy to see it.

No, she did not return.

Alden Ehrenreich would be a great Kaffee, but surely he already has something else lined up.

theblackumbrella said: "Ragtime should perform "Till We Reach That Day""You don't want a giant downer for your Tony showcase.

Ragtime should have Ben Levi Ross introduce a medley of "Our Children" leading into the back half of "Wheels of a Dream." That would showcase all their nominees and the songs would be linked by theme.

Not sure how the thread on the grosses got to this point, but while Arden deserves some credit for saving The Lost Boys from being a complete disaster... it is not possible for me to see him getting a third Tony in the same season he laid that giant Queen of Versailles egg.

bear882 said: "I realize it was a holiday weekend, but it’s still nice to see positive numbers for almost everything - and the exceptions either feel irrelevant (Death of a Salesman’s grosses dropped a bit but are still excellent at a sold out Winter Garden) or expected(Maybe Happy Ending’s decline was predictable in the week after Darren Criss’ second exit from the show)." Salesman's numbers are even more irrelevant considering that according to the charts, they did 8 shows last week and 7 t...

Question related to this kind of thing: Would someone like JoJo be eligible for any kind of compensation in a circumstance like this? They may have declined other work due to a commitment that is now void.

I want Hasa Diga Eebowai!

For a long time, I always heard that shows started at eight minutes past the posted curtain time. But this season, I saw ten shows on Broadway, and they all started at five past the hour.

Let’s see those houses from the outside!This is not a complaint or a wish for a cheat-sheet, just a testament to how well DLA wrote these people that you want to know more about them."I did too. I could see this being successfully adapted to a series on one of the streamers.

MadsonMelo said: "I think this takes Score and that's it."Second that opinion. It's a cute show but not one that's going to sweep awards. It'll be done far and wide regionally. I found Sam Tutty winning and adorable, so I'm not sure how it would play with a Dougal who's not at his level.

Pleeeeeeease let "Melania" make an appearance!

As certain as it can be with these things that this is Caissie's. I just hope she honors the late, great Marin Mazzie in her acceptance.

Joe Mantello. One of those instances where I could see the director's vision the whole way through but it still managed to be unobtrusive and let the cast sparkle. This is nearly always the goal, but it doesn't often happen this seamlessly. (If Salesman swept, I would be ecstatic, but this is the one I really want most.)

Historically, only Best Musical has any lasting box office impact.

It may be the same way in London (it's been 20 years since I saw a show there), but be aware that depending on where you're sitting and the actual theater layout, it could be a long haul down a lot of stairs to a basement to get to the bar where a lot of other people are trying to do the same thing. You may end up with just a couple of minutes to actually drink your beer before you have to go back to your seat. And if you need a visit to the loo, forget it. Some houses have multiple bars, pre...

It appears the show is moving to a 7-show week. A couple of online reports have indicated people are receiving performance cancellation messages for Tuesdays in May. The Telecharge schedule shows some May Tuesdays and nearly all June and July Tuesdays will be dark in addition to Mondays. Was this always the schedule, or is eight shows a week of this material proving too much for the cast to handle?
