I knew Cabaret was gonna get a bunch of nominations, but I was not expecting Cinderella to be completely shut out! Not even a nomination for Carrie? That was the big shocker! This may severely affect its chances of going to Broadway! On the other note for Cabaret, these nominations may increase the chance if an NYC transfer if producers are willing to bring it over.


The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes. -Harold Prince

If anything, I’d think the nominations might help “Back to the Future” transfer.

Still not much, but it did get one nomination: Victoria Hamilton-Barritt as the stepmother for Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Musical.

Carrie just wasn't that great not a shocker and Cabaret is not transferring but Cinderrella is!

'7 actors who play the Tiger' might be one of the funniest things I've read this year so far.

Cabaret would do WAY better than Cinderella, as long as they find good stars and a perfect theatre, it can work. I can see Cabaret going to the Hudson. Cinderella needs a lot of work and would need a theatre with revolving seats which can only work if it goes to the Beaumont.

I saw 18 shows in London last fall and Ben Daniels and Liz Carr in The Normal Heart were the highlight. Both sensational performances and extremely deserved nominations.

I don't really think the Oliviers are a harbinger for things to come to Broadway.

I mean...We Will Rock You won an Olivier award.  So did Top Hat, Sunny Afternoon, Our House, Honk!, Jerry Springer, Kat and the Kings, Martin Guerre....

And stuff that are hits here (hairspray, rent, Avenue q) tend to flop over there.

Not true at all. They would just adapt the set to the house.

People are under the assumption that the rotating seating is integral to the plot of the show, and it absolutely is not. In fact, it adds pretty much nothing to the show except for the marketing that states “you’ll be moved” or whatever it says.
