Now we need to add "It Should Have Been You" to the new musical category

And now we gotta figure out which of the four stars (Sierra Boggess, David Burtka, Tyne Daly, Harriet Harris) are going to be counted as a leading role or featured role.

Looks like we'll be adding THE VISIT to the new musicals list very soon.

The set of rulings doesn't affect where I classified plays as "new" or "revival" - but there are acting rulings which can be discussed elsewhere.

added Something Rotten! to New Musicals. And that is not a comment on the show...yet.
Still no news on a King Charles III transfer or The Visit opening in time.

Ok. I added The Visit to the list of New Musicals - based on the general assumption that it will open in time.

added Gigi to Revival. Pending a decision by the Tony Awards Committee as to whether this is "new" or "revival".

I think it'll most likely be considered a revival.

I am not very familiar with GIGI, but has there ever been a commonly-performed stage adaptation of the Lerner/Loewe musical before this?
This seems like AN AMERICAN IN PARIS to me, but I am not very familiar with the history of GIGI in this case. If there had been a commonly-done stage musical then I'd say this is like CINDERELLA and should be a revival.

Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

It was on Broadway in the '70s. I think the question is because this is a new revised version. It seems more like a SIDE SHOW situation than AN AMERICAN IN PARIS.

Ahh it was already on Broadway? It's a Revisal? That's easier: put it with SIDE SHOW in the Revival category.

So it looks like now this is everything for this season. Honeymoon and On the Town aren't closing. The Hayes and Marquis will stay vacant in the spring.
So 36 new shows(counting both Wolf Halls) and 2 special events(Illusionists and Temps/Tops).
That is down from last year's 40 shows and 4 special events.

I think Fun Home is a lock and would be great if the musical won best musical

'Gigi' definitely should go in Musical Revival.
But Heidi Thomas is eligible for writing a new Book.
