So proud of the little show that could! The word of mouth on this show keeps pushing it further towards box office gold. I definitely would not rule out a very, very long run and lots of mentions come Tony nomination day.


"Beautiful - The Carole King Musical has again broken the box office record at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre, for the second consecutive week and the fourth time since the show opened in January 2014. For the week ending April 20th,Beautiful grossed $1,027,244.20 in the 1034 seat theatre, joining the Millionaire's Club on Broadway for the first time. "

I could be wrong, it's a VERY tough year, but I feel in my heart Jessie's going to take home the big prize.

As long as Audra isn't placed in the musical category Jessie may have a chance. But Sutton Foster was just also given I think the BEST review of her career. And the Tony voters LOVE her. So we shall see. I wouldn't jinx Jessie like that if I were you

Ha, I don't believe in jinxes. It's a tight race between Sutton, Kelli, and Jessie, imo. Their reviews were all on the same level and they're all amazingly talented. I imagine there are a hundred convincing arguments for any of them being the winner. I don't have a crystal ball, just my feeling!

I have to agree with StickIt. I felt as though Jessie gave a brilliant performance and might (hopefully) win the Tony!

I mentioned this in the weekly gross thread, though it's impressive, joining the millionaire's club means less and less these days. You almost have to do it just to stay alive.

Very true. Running cost these days are insane. And I agree any of the above mentioned are capable of taking the Tony. And I wish them all luck!
