They also changed the cutoff date for nominations and the date of the telecast. Why couldn't they keep it on the date they planned?

Maybe they couldn't book the Beacon for the day they planned

Pretty bad news for all those people who thought they had bought a ticket for the first performance of a particular show after the Tony's.

There are 7 $177 orchestra seats on Ticketmaster for the post-Tonys show that seem to have just appeared if anyone is interested.

Maybe the reason why they originally announced June 5th was because they apparently fought to keep it at Radio City Music Hall, which would have allowed more time in between for the striking of the Tonys set and setting up for the New York Spectacular.

Will the move to the Beacon make it more difficult for members of the public to get tickets to the Tony Awards? I was hoping to attend this year!

You're not alone, my mother and I were hoping to attend as well.

Still think the Kings theatre would have been a much cooler idea.

He is a genius. I hope they give him The Kennedy Center award before he is 50.
HAMILTON will sweep the Tonys.

"HAMILTON will sweep the Tonys."
I highly doubt it actually. There's a big chance that the Hamilton actors all go home empty.

I agree, Hamilton won't sweep the acting categories, but they will at least get one ala Nikki M. James in Mormon, who was nothing amazing.

It will be interesting to see if Cynthia Erivo gets a nod for Color Purple. If she had been eligible for an Olivier, I think she would have been a safe bet.

^It would be so interesting if Cynthia Erivo ends up winning the Tony for John Doyle's production of The Color Purple because 10 years ago, almost everyone thought Patti LuPone was going to win for John Doyle's production of Sweeney Todd. But LaChanze pulled an upset by winning for the original production of The Color Purple.

And who at this moment is the front runner for best actress in a musical for you to make such an assessment?

^I was just saying that it would be interesting. I'm not sure who the frontrunner is at this point.
Ana Villafane did get rave reviews as Gloria Estefan, so don't be surprised if she ends up getting nominated. From what I'm hearing, Cynthia Erivo sounds like she could be a strong contender. Jessie Mueller did of course earn rave reviews while Waitress was out of town. Also don't be surprised if Phillipa Soo ends up getting nominated for Hamilton.
Now we just have to wait for the performances from Laura Benanti, Carmen Cusack, and Audra McDonald.
