Musical should have Fun Home listed

Hollar if You Hear Me also belongs in the "New Musical" category.

New Musical: American in Paris & Fun Home

Thanks. I made the additions and moved American In Paris to "new"

Wolf Hall, parts 1 and 2, is a new play.

[tazber]

Posted: 10/21/14 at 1:21pm

You forgot Wolf Hall/Bringing up the Bodies.

Those have TONY written all over them.

ETA: Kad and I were posting simultaneously

Thanks, KAD and tazbear.
It's quite the British Invasion this season for new plays
Maybe the Tony Committee will create a new category "Best British Import"

Boy, lots of tough competition this year.

I don't envy the committee at all. (I have ideas about who I'm thinking will get nods, but we'll wait and see.)

The acting categories for straight plays are going to be insane.

The Heidi Chronicles should be in play revival

[EO49]

Posted: 10/21/14 at 1:56pm

Not a great year for new musicals by the looks of things. Will any of them still be open a year after the Tonys?

[ggersten]

Posted: 10/21/14 at 2:22pm

I wonder if the producers will push for Wolf Hall Parts I and II to be treated as separate plays?

[ggersten]

Posted: 10/21/14 at 2:29pm

broadway.com doesn't have a theatre listed or opening date for The Heidi Chronicles. Is it going to happen?
and I think King Charles III still is without an announced theatre.

Yes, Heidi Chronicles is happening. It was announced for a Shubert Theater. Just didn't specify which one, probably because Once hadn't posted closing. Though it could be the Longacre.

[Phillypinto]

There are still other shows coming in that don't have a theatre or dates yet. Amazing Grace, Gigi, Can-Can, The Visit, and Dames at Sea are musicals that might come in this season.

Wolf Hall and Bringing Up The Bodies are playing in rep, I believe.

If they're publicizing it a Wolf Hall part 1 and 2 then I can't imagine they'd be considered separately.


Like The Kentucky Cycle, Nicholas Nickelby, The Coast of Utopia, and after Perestroika opened, Angels in America.

Tony voters can't resist these epic presentations. All of the above won best play.

I doubt all / any of these will make it this season :
Amazing Grace, Gigi, Can-Can, The Visit, and Dames at Sea. American in Paris is under-capitalized right now . . . so a lot depends on how it does in Paris.

I saw Finding Neverland at the ART this summer and it was incredible. It was a HOT ticket here and Boston will run for a LONG time...

Every time I see a list like this, I'm just floored by the number of fabulous plays this season. Between new productions and revivals, I fear we won't see a season this strong for a while.

I hope we see one or two more musicals sneak in, but theater space is hard to come by.

Hey, CarlAlan--you just joined. You're a shill. You can talk about finding neverland all you want, be WE AIN'T BUYIN' IT. The show will tank. Shilly shill shill.

Ha. You are the one making predictions about a show you haven't seen. Which makes you an idiot.

[JaglinSays]

Posted: 10/22/14 at 3:18pm

Oh, I saw it all right. I'm still trying to forget the actor playing a dog.


SHILLLY SHILL SHILL SHILL, sucka.

Would Jaglin and CarlAlan please take your discussion of the merits of The Last Ship to the appropriate thread?

When Alice Ripley and Emily Skinner did Side Show, they got the Tony committee to consider both of them as one performer. I'm assuming the current production will be treated in the same way?
