here’s hoping someone during the curtain speech actually addresses the broken and corrupt system that Broadway has always been, and always will be!

I feel like there have been plenty of statements made by cast, creative, people involved with the show and not that they do not need to be making tonight about anything but this show and those who worked so hard to get them to this place.

Some people are shocked that the problems that plague every industry on Earth actually plagues Broadway as well. Shocking... I know.

I'm sure we're all expecting that.

And I will never understand how Dudney Joseph Jr. was snubbed of a Tony nomination for Munkustrap.

The pulsating, chanting heart of this JELLICLE BALL.

At the start of the curtain call encore tonight, Dudney also changed “These Jellicle cats would like to thank you all / For coming to the Jellicle Ball” to “New York City, you gave us your all / At the last and final Jellicle Ball.”

Sydney Harcourt shared on IG he’d be going to the Eagle post-show; he skipped out on celebrating with the cast, creatives, and crew at their closing party."

Tbh, if I wasn't dealing with a sore throat I'd be headed over there too... 🫦

He didn’t skip the closing party, The Eagle was “the afters” which famously are *after* the party."

…so were you actually there, or just going off the usual connotation of the terminology used?

I was at the party. Sydney wasn’t.

Part of me wanted to go (I did get an invite), but I had nothing in my system left after this day to walk the two blocks, let alone schlep to the Eagle 😆

What was also bonkers was that people were still trying to stage door for André at, like, 1:30am.

Let's make sure the bitches who think Andre is a frail little old man seconds away from toppling over see this."

To be fair, I was there one night where he did fall hard coming down the steps from the throne. Even when in shape, old knees can be a m*ther***ker

Ohhh it appears Sydney may have let the role go to his head...

When I saw the show in previews they had taken out the kiss due to illness at the time but I was confused when it still didn't happen when I saw it a few weeks ago...

I need someone to break this down for me like I’m ten.
