Exactly. You join right now at a rate of $12 and have voting privileges for next year.

True! And I didn't vote for LMM.

It's actually a pretty awesome deal to join the League! $500 for 4 house seats. Wow!

Clarification: It is $12/month or $125/year plus other levels. If you are a member only for the month of July 2016 you will be unable to vote for next year's awards. I think I will look into making myself a member. I may not be 'industry' but I'm a theater fan and pay to support theater lol From their website it looks like there are many Broadway actors/actresses who are members

Thanks for the info NJ BroadwayGirl! It was your posts that made me look up the Drama League.

LMM's win is a classic example of cognitive biases in effect.

"It's like Hamilton overload."

You think?

But this can offer a lesson to us all. Even if you go only an inch too far, that inch can soon expand into a foot, and then a mile, and then the distance from here to the moon. And there won't be a thing that anyone can do to stop it.

The moral? Don't give an inch. And don't go along with anyone who tries to pass off dross as gold.

As its tireless and relentless cheerleader, you seem to take it seriously, indeed.

"It's called being a fan of something, you should try it sometime."



I am--- of something called the theatre. GOOD theatre, that is.

I wonder if this means Lin is the front runner for the lead actor Tony. I was really hoping for Leslie.

And Chita! Hope that proves true again as I really want Leslie to win. I would not be surprised if Lin wants Leslie to too!

"Okay, well I'd be interested in seeing you post more about the stuff you like"

I do, and often, eg. Mary, Mary, Dear World, 70, Girls, 70...

"instead of coming into certain threads just to make snide comments about the things you don't like."

You mean like coming into the Finding Neverland closing thread to denigrate Gary Barlow's music? Sorry, that's not my style. (And that's quite the glass house you're living in.) I don't come into a thread to make snide remarks. That's not worth either my time or effort. I post to share knowledge, to discuss, and to provide some balance, context, perspective ... --- things that are all too often missing from discussions here. Most of all, after decades of theatregoing, I have witnessed how things have (d)evolved, have seen and duly noted the causes, and have drawn the appropriate lessons therefrom. These too, I share, as lessons for the future. For the well being of our theatre, please let us learn from them.
