But then the "rule" wouldn't apply to an interview transcript put to music, as then it wouldn't be verbatim. To me that's the genius of that particular song. It's almost word-for-word, apparently.

GeorgeandDot said: "It's an unwritten rule that writers of all mediums are strongly suggested to avoid the overuse of the word suddenly. If you use the word suddenly over and over again, there is probably a better and more focused way to write what you are trying to say.Everything that I have said is just my opinion of the show. I should able to express my opinion on here free of confrontation. It has already been established that you don't agree with my opinion, so let's leave it at that.I a...

No, DEH won't age well. But COMET and CFA will be around for a long, long time....

Not to mention that 5th Ave is closed till 6pm due to the Puerto Rican Day Parade.

This episode was taped a month ago. The race has evolved.

Re: Islam. Look of course we will never agree here but I'm not suggesting he apologise merely acknowledge the atrocities of the religion generally and call for peace. To say that the way Islam is practiced throughout the world today is a 'perversion' is rather inaccurate when the extremists are probably carrying out the actions as described in their holy texts more accurately/literally than the non-extremists. CFA had an opportunity but took the easy way out.Nonsense. First, you are singling ...

But worse than all that is the endless self-congratulating.

It doesn't seem to me "self-congratulatory" at all. It's a true s...

And for better or worse, Come From Away is consistently labeled as something like "the feel-good musical to see in 2017 because Trump is president and everyone needs a reminder that regular people are good." I haven't seen the musical, so I don't have any opinion, but that seems like a tricky line to walk during a Tony campaign. Maybe the show's promoters can pull it off, but doesn't that leave it vulnerable to arguments that it won't age well, that its victory would be viewed as a fluke fuel...

I do think COMET is unique, but I think COME FROM AWAY is breathtaking. If you are a Groban fan, the choice may be easy, but for me, COME FROM AWAY has held me since I saw it two weeks ago. Like another poster, COMET was cool, but sort of forgettable. If you want to feel, I would see COME FROM AWAY.

I would advise listening to the report; the written version is extremely edited and truncated.
