Fun Home will indeed be available both in stores and digitally on February 25. Right now it's shipping only direct from the http://www.PSClassics.com/ website.

Your memory is a bit off. :) You see, the Yank Kickstarter campaign was at 65% on campaign day #25, 12 days before the end of the campaign. In those last 12 days, $12,592 was raised from 161 different people for an average of just $78 per person which is actually considerably less than the average backer of about $96 throughout the campaign. The big ticket backers appear to have contributed more in the middle of the campaign. What happened in the last few days is pretty normal for a successfu...

Just a reminder that the song will be featured on tonight's episode. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Jeff's track and its karaoke track are going to the Trevor Project. At our site, we're also looking for you to contribute your version of the song. To find out more, please visit us at http://YouHaveMoreFriendsThanYouKnow.com/ Thanks! Mark

Thought you all might want to know that Jeff Marx (Avenue Q) wrote a song for the It Gets Better organization along with Mervyn Warren called "You Have More Friends Than You Know" which gets its television premiere this Thursday on Glee. Jeff's version and a separate backing track are available for for download on iTunes. Visit the song's website at http://www.youhavemorefriendsthanyouknow.com/ for more information.

Hi all! The issue with not being able to download the track was fixed early this morning. Feel free to check back at http://www.psclassics.com/cd_follies.html and stream and download like normal now. :)

Fixed. Thanks, Scott.

There were indeed a handful of spelling corrections needed. I believe I've caught them all and made the necessary corrections at TonyCentral.com. My apologies for that. I certainly feel the same way as WBF about other sites with spelling issues. Queen I'm not, though. :) I've been making theatre related predictions based off of a very different sort of factors than most others that has proven more consistently accurate than most others over many years. That doesn't mean I'll do well this year...

My latest predictions are posted at http://www.TonyCentral.com/ How about yours? :) Mark Bakalor

The TonyCentral predictions are currently predictions for the winner - not the nominees. The nominees, as you know, are already known. :) TonyCentral charts are based on a proprietary scoring system taking into consideration a myriad of factors including award history, buzz, financial success, etc. Contenders are ranked on a relative percentile scale with a score of 100 being the highest possible and 1 the lowest.

Eh? You click on the categories under "The Races" on the right of the home page. That gets you to a page for each race with links to the others at the top. For instance: http://www.tonycentral.com/2006/categories/musical.html

Predictions have been modified as of this morning at http://www.TonyCentral.com/ though updates may be made as late as tomorrow evening... Mark

Not anymore.

I do run the site, as well as OscarCentral. EmmyCentral is next up for us, as well. Thanks for the kind words about my projects. As for Idina being considered a darkhorse last year... not by http://www.TonyCentral.com. Idina was in third place in our final predictions, listed as possible following a very close near-tie between Pinkins and Murphy. Dark horses were Chenoweth and d'Abruzzo.

Predicted winners in all categories are now posted at http://www.tonycentral.com/. Enjoy! :)
