Lol my free speech is being taken away, along with my guns. THANKS Hamilton.

Haters gonna hate. Hamilton is the dopest new musical in years. It deserves all the hype it gets; the experience inside the Rodgers Theater is unparalleled to anything I've gotten from any other work of art. It is electric, explosive, hard to articulate.....I saw it in September and I am still finding the words to express my thoughts on it. But at the end of the day the work speaks for itself. It also comes down to personal relationship to the work, meaning that I listen to some of the songs ...

I have a hunch that Dames at Sea will be shut out.

Has anyone mentioned that WAYNE BRADY would be a fantastic AARON BURR? Cuz it's true.

What seems most uncertain to me is which shows will be nominated for Best Musical. I'd say the two locks right now are Hamilton and School of Rock. Which leaves 2-3 other spaces, and you have American Psycho, Allegiance, On Your Feet, Bright Star, Tuck Everlasting, and Waitress. I may even be forgetting some extra. This is a massive year for new musicals and it seems some shows will have to be shut out that would most certainly have been nominated in less dense years. This is a great season.

Of course Lin is a lock - you kidding me?

We don't know where Brian Stokes Mitchell and/or Billy Porter will be eligible (featured vs leading) but I imagine both of them have the potential to be strong contenders at least for nominations. Renee Elise Goldsberry seems to be a lock for Featured Actress, and while I think Daveed Diggs is absolutely deserving of winning Featured Actor (his performance was honestly my favorite) it is too soon to say. I would love to see Daveed Diggs and Christopher Jackson nominated here, with Jonathon Gr...

Replace the word "Follies" with "Gypsy" and you have my exact thoughts.

Am I the only one who thinks Meryl would be fantastic as Mama Rose in a dramatic film remake of Gypsy? I think she would really bring a lot to the role and be completely different than we've ever seen it played before.

I don't think anyone's comment was transphobic, just saying. It was a joke. The world needs to learn how to take one again. Caitlyn Jenner wasn't even the butt of it. It was a stupid mindless comment about Frozen dream casting which, I agree, would be pretty great. No more pointless than any of these other "dream castings"

Let's exclusively cast Wicked OBC/Alumni since Frozen is basically a lame attempt at being Wicked. Elsa - Adele Dazeem Anna - Kristin Chenoweth Hans - Joel Grey (would love to see what he does with the role) Kristoff - Norbert Leo Butz Olaf - Taye Diggs Sven - Christopher Fitzgerald I'm sure Idina, Kristin, and Taye would love to all work with each other on a show. If that doesn't work can we just have Patti and Bernadette play Anna and Elsa? That would kind of make my entire life. Mandy can ...

Of course Bob Fosse was a womanizer! There wasn't a chorus girl in New York who would've said no to him. He was basically Jesus of Broadway and all chorus girls were Mary Magdalene.

I do believe that Danny Burstein will give the most nuanced and Tony worthy performance in his category, whomever that may consist of. Him winning won't be by pity because it's "overdue", just as Kelli's wasn't this year. I think she deserved it fair and square and it just so happened that this was her year after being nominated unsuccessfully several other times. The "overdue" thing is icing on the cake but not the reason Kelli won, or Danny Burstein will win, IMO. Plus, I really don't see L...

^ You wanna bet? Bartlett Sher knows how to churn out Best Musical Revival winners, just look at his track record. I feel like people are giving this Fiddler revival a lot of unnecessary criticism merely due to the rate at which the show has been revived. But I would argue that this revival is going to be better than the last. Danny Burstein is going to be fabulous and hopefully win his first, long overdue Tony.

Side note: If Terrence Mann wins for Tuck Everlasting (which I would be very pleased with), Casey Nicholaw will have had the Best Featured Actor in a Musical category on lock for the past three years (Iglehart, Borle, and hopefully Mann).

Wouldn't Andrew Keenan Bolger be considered for LEADING actor for Tuck Everlasting though?
