'Schmigadoon!' dances away with top honors at the Chita Rivera Awards
May 19 2026, 11:48:35 AM
Wow. If Choreography would be announced early on at the Tony program, if Schmigadoon wins, Ragtime is taking Best Revival. Haven’t seen Schmigadoon yet but I was floored by Cats choreo. Hoping Cats get some love at the Tony’s besides Costume.

DRAMA DESK AWARD NOMINEES 2026
May 17 2026, 11:59:47 PM
I feel like the Drama Desk is copying a cue from the Oscar precursors where instead of these movie guilds/critics rewarding breakthrough performances they tend to try to give them to people who they think will win the Academy. I mean the winners list look like Tony predictions! I think the four leads for Musical and Plays would mirror the Tony’s and so are most of the technical awards. And I know I’m in the minority but I do like most of their choices.

Sally Field play in the Fall
May 7 2026, 10:45:31 PM
Oh my God if she would play Violet the family matriarch I would just die! Would Julia Roberts be too old to play Barbara again? We can have a Steel Magnolias mini reunion. Sorry don’t mind me. I’m a Steel Magnolias fanatic. I hope they would revive August soon. If you have Sally Field attached to it - chefs kiss! just such perfect casting. One of the best plays of all time!

BEST PLAY - LIBERATION
BEST ACTRESS - CASSIE LEVY

Other categories I feel are toss ups that I’m not really going to be upset if anybody el

Drama League Awards 2026
Apr 20 2026, 12:53:42 PM
I am thrilled that The Gospel At Colonus was not forgotten this awards season even though it’s such a small musical in Little Island! I really really love that show and its direction. I would have loved to see Stephanie Berry with a distinguished performance nomination but that maybe asking too much.
Oedipus and Sam Tutty were truly a head scratcher. Laurie for the win.

Sorry for another seat location question but is the front row too close for this production? Is the stage too high or would there be any obstruction? Thank you in advance!

How do Broadway actors leave the theatre when they skip the Stagedoor?
Oct 18 2025, 01:27:46 AM
I hate to admit it but I was one of those assholes who wait for some actors who chose not to come out of the main stage door. Before the pandemic I was an autograph hound and waited hours to get those signatures from these actors. In Hamilton some actors come out of the front entrance door in the lobby near the box office. That’s where I got Philippa Soo signature as she steps out of that exit with her bike. Also sometimes the security guard says everyone left al

Oh I’m a big fan of the Divine Ms. M and I even went back to watch her again (second time was a standing room only though hahaha I’m poor). Though I did enjoy it and would rank it higher artistically but unfortunately it did not resonate with me emotionally as much as the ones I listed. I’m a sucker for Sondheim and gay themed musical

Apparently has been fired from Fun Home???

It's about a grown person trying to make sense of her family and the choices her family members made as she grew up. It's about the coming-of-age of a lesbian woman as a kid, a tween, a college student, and as an adult. It's about a closeted gay man flailing about as he tries to connect with

I’m having problem as well. I have Access Membership but it doesn’t apply to any tier when I put it in my cart. I didn't have a problem before with Grangeville. Any one having problems with the Access Membership?

What is best cast cd from the last 5 years?
Jun 14 2025, 01:00:05 AM
My top 5 will be:
1. Into The Woods - very crisp and clear recording. That cast! - Sara Bareilles, Gavin Creel, Joshua Henry, Bryan D’Arcy… magnificent!
2. Illinoise - the most haunting cast recording. Beautiful orchestration and vocals.
3. Merrily We Roll Along - Groff, Radcliffe, Mendez! nuff said
4. Gypsy - Queen Audra … still give me chills. Ofcourse if you are a purist you wont like her vocal interpretatio

But we already had a straight George. I was hoping he would be played by a gay man this time.

I’m hoping they get Brian Stokes Mitchell as George. I love Billy Porter and I know he would kill I Am What I Am but I kinda wish as someone already mentioned J Harrison Ghee would play Albin. Maybe he is too young? Wonder who could play Jacob. Jeremy Pope?

It's a historic & 'Happy' night for Asians & Asian-Americans at the Tonys!
Jun 9 2025, 02:33:04 AM
Though I was rooting for Queen Audra, I’m still happy that both Best Performance by an Actor AND Actress in a leading Role in a musical were both of Filipino decent. Legendary Lea Salonga was so happy and proud! I didn’t know Marco Paguia is Filipino! There are now 5! Tony winners of Filipino decent - Lea Salonga (Miss Saigon), Clint Ramos (Eclipsed, Costume Design), Marco Paguia (Buena Vista Social Club, orchestrations), Darren Criss (Maybe Happy Ending) and

Jon Bernthal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach Will Make Broadway Debuts in DOG DAY AFTERNOON, Spring 2026
Jun 4 2025, 11:47:29 PM
I’m guessing one of them plays Sonny (based on the poster alone might be Bernthal) while the other will play either Sal or the Sargeant. Wonder who will play Leon Shermer? I hope they cast a Transgendered or gay actor. Any dream casting?
