And yeah, I loved The Lost Boys, but it has an uphill climb in the big categories because it's a campy vampire musical. Not everyone has a lot of respect for horror, let alone a musical with Elviras and Draculas popping out of the closet or rainbow superheroes in spandex.

I think there is a strong assumption that N2N is coming and she will get her recognition then. many people feel this way and are willing this return. I think these awards reflect how people are really feeling right now.

1) Everyone is rooting for Sara Chase given her story and loved her in Gatsby and now Schmigadoon- she is beloved and people want a great story of perseverance and hard work.  She is broadway right now. 

2) Same with Vosk- she is the only reas

I LOVE this list. Standouts for me are the Wild Party nominations… as it was just that good, Ethan Slater!, Carrie Coon, Sara Chase and of course, Jessica Voss for carrying the weight of an entire show on her back. 

As a huge, very vocal fan of the Lost Boys I was also so excited to see those nods as those two keep me going back. 

One miss for me that is not getting enough notice with the big 3 leads was Hannah Cruz in Chess as she makes Chess interesting a

I saw Chess in previews and was impressed by Tveit but knew in time adjustmentswould be made and he'd finesse this score to his strengths, and that was definitely the case when I made a return visit in February. Honestly, I was damn impressed—I've been hard on Tveit in the past—and wish that voiceon that nightwaswhat I was hearing on this new recording.

And I am shocked people are willingly listening to &

This is going to be a huge hit, full stop. We sat in the first few rows and we were probably among the collective people losing their minds that someone referenced. No shame. My only old person concern was that there was a lot of smoke in the first few rows and there should have been masks available or a warning when purchasing tickets. It’s a lot. (Showing my age.)

First - the talent and charisma and energy, youth etc. in the cast is undeniable and the effects/staging is beyond

I do have a soft spot for If/Then- but I know I’m not the only one. I have heard SO MANY requests for a revival on other sites. I would categorize it with 9 to 5 - shows I do believe are now nostalgic for many of us and will have a second chance someday. Also, how do you know the writers feel that way? I would start an If/Then appreciation thread if I had more time. 

I have a soft spot for Boop! too… so sue me. I think they could have given it a few more months t

THIS! My kiddo and I are huge Glee fans- Glee got me through so many difficult years - and my kid and I watched this last summer together - it was so amazing to see him live. Matthew was charming and funny and sounded great. It’s so refreshing to see someone who truly is cherishing every second of what they are doing and who is so grateful to make the most of an opportunity. I hope he tours or they bring him back or that we get one more shot to go. 

We would go again an

Let creative minds recalibrate because there's a LOT of mush being put out there by seemingly smart people that feels unfelt, over-meddled with, or not thought out and sometimes, paradoxically, all threeat once.

Did we need a musical of Beaches, Smash, Tootsie, Pretty Woman, The Bodyguard, T

Went last night and echo sentiment about the performances. If you are at all on the fence.. Go. Tonya Pinkins was my standout by far and I went to see the others. 

Also, I did bring my teen daughter who can usually handle mature content and she was definitely the youngest in the theater last night. She is a dancer and singer so the overall value of the production outweighed some of the more adult themes… for anyone on the fence with a teen or tween there was a lot of co

I’ve been meaning to come back to this for a while because I am genuinely excited for Beaches and I do believe that there are others like me out there. I want this show to succeed because it is a childhood love and the story has been a big part of my life. I was excited the first time I heard that this was in the works and I’m still excited. I want you all to know that I think there are a lot of women (and some men) like me- mid 40s -50s who have spending power
