Why are they not doing the amazing title song? The one that gets a stranding O every night? Bizarre choice... and I've seen the show 6 times already.

RWHC was nominated for Score, the other two were not—at least that's how I'm rationalizing it.

And Just In Time was nominated for... some design awards.

Darren Criss is a class act.

Honestly, I'm guessing the stripping down to their underwear would have been discouraged on national television (as silly as that is).

Lin paid for their performance and the Hamilton performance. Which is how SMASH and BOOP couldn't even though the producers were willing to put out their own money.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

I had the great honor of being Charles Strouse’s assistant, archivist and even lived with him for a time.
I cannot express enough how much that In Memoriam would have meant to him. I wept, sad but happy tears. Happy for him and his legacy.
I’ll be outside on 45th when the lights dim for him and others Tuesday. Join us outside any Broadway theatre - 6:45pm.

I thought Jeremy Jordan deserved it, but yeah, Criss was the favorite.

Yay!!!
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

I can’t f*cking wait to hear Nicole get her flowers on Tuesday night at the St. James. A legendary performance. Truly singular. This is well-deserved.
