If, god forbid, this doesn't go in could The Scottsboro Boys move in?

No. Scottsboro is looking for a commercial run. Roundabout is looking to add a show to it's season and not simply rent the space ala All About Me.

This is definitely coming in.

Roundabout subscribers who also subscribe to Second Stage are not going to be happy about this.

You know, I was actually wondering about that.

They're not contracted with Second Stage for that show?

There is an interesting conflict for some. There are some Roundabout subscribers who have already seen Everyday Rapture. People like me for instance.

There is also the matter of the physical production. Unknowns like will a new set and costumes need to be built? Certainly there will need to be a new lighting design done.

What if not every actor from the prior production of Everyday Rapture is available for a remounting? More rehearsal time than 2-3 weeks would be needed.

Contracts will have to be negotiated for all of the above and then some.

Keeping these things in mind, when is the Tony cut-off?

I'll bet the number of subscribers who subscribe to both organizations is very, very low.

Not really. There are several people on ATC alone that subscribe to both.

I actually hope this jolts the Best Musical category a bit, as Brantley seems to think it should.

Wouldn't it be nice if Everyday Rapture could just play on the set from All About Me? No load out, no load in. Start previews April 12, open on the 29th at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre. Win a Tony Award or two.

"American Idiot's score uses music that has been released before. Granted the score consist of songs from the album American Idiot, 21st Century Breakdown as well as some B-Sides. However, the entire score has been out and people have heard it before in some form or fashion. "

That's not true. "When It's Time" has never been released and will be heard for the first time in the show.

I, personally, would be happy to see this show again! It will deffinatly shake up the TONY awards this year! I am worried, however, because I believe some of the performers from second stage have conflicts...but then again, there were understudies for all the roles off-broadway (except, obviously, Sherie). Still, VERY excited for this!

Since I missed this the first time around, I would be thrilled if this happened.

I just heard from a very reliable source that Everyday Rapture will officially open at the American Airlines on April 29th.

The Tony race in several key categories just got a lot more interesting.

To add:

And it's not like the show needs extensive rehearsal (or re-rehearsal, as the case may be). And it's not like the set is so massive or anything. Quite frankly, they can do it with a brick wall, a band stand from storage, and a pull down projector screen.

An announcement should be coming tomorrow.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

In terms of the Best Musical category it looks like it will be Michael Mayer and Tom Kitt vs. Michael Mayer and Tom Kitt.

I'm really excited to get to see this again. I really hope Sherie Rene Scott gets her Tony for this role.

I'd much rather see Sherie get it over CZJ. I thought she was much better and has payed her dues in the theater.
