Any current discount codes? There’s one on BroadwayBox (CMBBX30), but it’s only for sporadic weekdays/weekends.

Probably unpopular opinion... but I think Jennifer Simard deserves the Tony. Her acting choices made Sarah the standout female character. In general in this version, it seems Joanne is a less interesting/less meaty role (maybe also due to Jennifer's acting). If it weren't "the Patti LuPone" playing Joanne, I think the Tony would go to Jennifer tonight.
Agreed that Claybourne Elder absolutely deserved a nomination.

Add me to the list of people wishing Claybourne Elder was nominated tonight. Christopher Fitzgerald too. I don't know how the Paradise Square men got in the category over the Company fellas.
Elder is hilarious and heartwarming in the show, on top of being gorgeous and kind. This morning he paid for everyone in the rush line of Company for their matinee today. Class act.

It'll be very disappointing if the rumors are true (for many reasons), but also because I think this production lends itself to some really fun/interesting stunt casting. If they can hold on until October, I would bet a big star as Bobbie and/or Joanne could keep them afloat a little longer.

Here's hoping the Best Revival win motivates the release of a cast recording. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

With a cast recording of the London production already available, I doubt we'll get a new cast recording. I would much rather them figure out a way to film it. It is such a great production and offers something completely different from the previous three times it was filmed, but I doubt that will happen either.

I would think being the most awarded musical of the season could help get a little closer to a cast recording. The powers who be must realize that the London cast recording is subpar. I truly hope they can make it work.

Wonder if Matt Doyle will take tomorrow night off to watch his husband in Music Man?
Tough call with first performance post-Tony win

I highly doubt he'll take tomorrow night off, and I'd be surprised if he went any day this week. If anything, next Tuesday would make more sense.

Doyle is a real pro and can't believe he'd call out to see another show

There’s not a chance he calls out to see Max in TMM. And miss his first performance post-win? Nah.

Speaking of Matt, does anyone know if he has any scheduled absences coming up? I'm thinking of going to a Wednesday matinee sometime in the next few weeks and would really like to see him. Thanks.

FTR - I don’t think he will, either.

Ugh. Thats such a tough call, tho. You just won the Tony and feel the pressure of being there for every show and yet your partner is stepping in to be the lead in another huge bdwy show. I would not want to be in his shoes. Actors have lives and important moments sometimes need to come first imho. Sadly, actors typically miss important family/friends/life moments because of this idea that “I have to do the show”. It’s unfortunate. Understudies are ready to go for these very reasons.

Are they MARRIED? I didn't think so. (But I miss lots of social announcements.)
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

I don’t believe they are married but have been together for many years. Does that make a difference?

Not at all - someone just referred to Max as Matt's husband.

Apparently, Patti is out of the show tonight and Jennifer Simard will be playing Joanne. That’s unfortunate. I hope Patti is ok.

Telecharge says "Patti LuPone will not appear at this performance" tonight!!!
Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

Simard doesn't have a solo song though....it was more the acting...

Heard there's a bunch of u/s on tonight. Can anyone confirm?
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.

Just Jennifer for Joanne and Kathryn Allison for Sarah.

Well, I'm going to the matinee tomorrow. Would be nice if Patti is in, but I really am going to see Matt Doyle. In person, he is as nice a guy as you can imagine. As a journalist, I first interviewed him for a local newspaper when he was transitioning from understudy to Hanschen full-time in Spring Awakening. I interviewed him again when he was in War Horse. Now I'm retired, so no interview, just happy being a fan.
Also, I believe he and Max are married.
