Both are just commercial vehicles looking to cash in a their name. I wouldn't expect much in terms of Tony nominations from either.

the best musical tony rarely goes to the best musical

its all about politics

and the elites choosing what succeeds

the award is therefore meaningless artistically

although it does often help the winning show commercially

Was anyone thinking DBH was the frontrunner? It seemed like Maybe Happy Ending is/was the current critically beloved favorite. (For what it's worth,BWW's review roundup of MHE has it with an average rating of 89.2%; Dead Outlaw's off-Broadway run was 78.3.)"


MHE is no front runner with operation mincemeat, DBH, (possibly)women have curves etc in the mix. DEAD OUTLAW degraded these other shows hard today. 

Reviews / broadwayworld aggregated reviews don’t matter.  Last year Suffs was 75, Illinoise was 80, Hell’s Kitchen was 68.  The outsiders was 69.5.  We know how that went.

Good point. But I think it’s too early to predict who will win the Tony Award for Best Musical right now.

I wouldn't be so quick to rule out Boop.  On first glance, yes, it seems like a commercial vehicle without much promise, but with Bob Martin and Jerry Mitchell involved, both who are very beloved in the NY theatre community, and the general consensus from folks seeing it out of town as "it's far better than you'd think", I could definitely see it becoming a factor.  Not that I'm predicting it to win right now or even think that it ultimately will, but I think it will be a contender.

Also of note is that we now have 3 smallish or more niche musicals (Outlaw, Happy Ending, Mincemeat) in the race.  And while yes, the Tonys have gone for that style of show in recent years, having 3 of them, each of whom have their own group of ardent supporters, could easily end with them all cancelling each other out and result in one of the bigger, flashier musicals taking it this year.

Has the Longacre ever had a long running hit show? Everything seems to last less than a year around 6 months or so.

The original production of Children of a Lesser God ran for a bit over 850 performances. Though that was way back in 1980. Recent "long-er" running shows were Leopoldstadt, A Bronx Tale, and the 2010 revival of La Cage aux Folles. Those are the ones that jump out at me from Wikipedia, but it definitely does not host shows longer than 2.5-3 years, across its history.

The EPA was posted on Playbill seems that everyone is coming back except that Erik Della Pena is dropping his on-stage role. That one + some of the covers are all they're looking for.

Indeed, Chip. Indeed.

Looks like they're adding 4 more covers for the Broadway run.

Bumping this, to see if anyone has the scoop on ticket sales yet.

It will be announced soon. Are you worried you won't be able to get tickets?

I signed up for the email notification but haven't gotten anything yet. I wish they would hurry up and announce their performance schedule, because I need that domino in place to finish mapping out my April trip. *please have a Sunday evening performance so I can squeeze in Floyd Collins*

IIRC, they did say a ticket announcement/on-sale would be happening in January, so we should have more info very soon!

I just really hope this show does a $19.11 flash sale for select seats in early previews like they did downtown.

We're only midway through the first post-holiday week of the year. Let people settle back into their offices.

No - just trying to firm up plans for a spring trip, similar to one of the other poster’s above.

Just got the email that the pre-sale will be on January 22 if you have registered for it. Email codes will be sent that morning.

For those familiar with the Longacre, any general recommendations on seats to look for (or avoid), especially those that are likely to be in the middle to slightly lower end of whatever price range they use?

Last 3 rows in the orchestra (O, P, Q)  have a wonderful view and tend to be priced much cheaper than the rest of the orchestra seats.

The Longacre is on the smaller side of the Broadway houses. Even the very last row of the balcony provides a good view if those pesky poles aren’t blocking.

As expected, the entire Off-Broadway company will reprise their roles uptown.

They're going to have to replace Eddie Cooper over at PIRATES!, but it shouldn't be that big a deal.
