Very happy for Paul Mescal and Jodie Comer, two of my favorite rising stars

Also announced this morning that “Standing at the Sky’s Edge” is transferring to the Gillian Lynne early next year. So anyone who is upset they missed it will have a chance to see this incredible show, now!

Oh, I hope not. The music award rules for the Oliviers is bonkers. A very funny quote that I wholeheartedly agree with from sf on the other chat board: 

"That music/score/orchestrations category is ridiculous every year. Whoever dreamed it up is completely clueless about music. Most years they end up with the equivalent of nominating a satsuma, a pear, and an apple for an award for best banana.

I hope they turn the down the volume on the music.....the sound was quite deafening when I saw it.

I don’t disagree with that. I just meant with how musical theater is now, with such a large amount of new shows being “jukebox” shows, if it was something that could happen here.
