Yet he demanded they move the ceremony uptown…
He thought he had a hit...he does not.

I mean wouldn’t they just give fifth slot to NY NY by default?
Posted: 4/26/23 at 10:43pm
I personally would like to see A BEAUTIFUL NOISE take the fifth slot.

Does there have to be a 5th nominee or can they choose to nom four despite there being a sufficient number of shows to have 5 nominees?

According to the rules, it's the former.

I'm wondering the same thing myself. Whatever ends up taking the fifth slot this year will only be there as filler (unless the nominating committee actually enjoyed it more than the critics did).

I think Bad Cinderella is feeling a little bit better right about now...lol
Posted: 4/26/23 at 11:06pm
Unfortunate that this seems to have gotten the critical walloping that Some Like it Hot deserved
Posted: 4/26/23 at 11:10pm
He delivers "A Quiet Thing" quietly?? Can you imagine that??? What an absurd comment from the reviewer. I thought it was Ryan's high point.
Posted: 4/26/23 at 11:16pm
This season, I seem to really be enjoying some things critics are absolutely hating on.

What if...
Elisabeth had reviewed PRIMA FACIE and...
Jesse had reviewed NEW YORK, NEW YORK?
Do you think the reviews for each would have been decidedly more favorable?
Posted: 4/26/23 at 11:21pm
Elisabeth's review of Prima Facie might have been better, but I'd be shocked if Jesse liked New York, New York.
Posted: 4/26/23 at 11:21pm
Wow! I signed off for a couple hours only to find these reviews! OUCH! Yeah, I think I’m gonna see something else next month! Maybe Oliver at Encores?
Posted: 4/26/23 at 11:25pm
I was shocked to not see Jesse Green's name under that title...

"Overstuffed and corny, but done with style and showmanship."

Another Stroman flop.

Remember PARADISE SQUARE...
I think NYNY still gets the 5th slot. Unless they do something truly crazy like nominate AMOST FAMOUS.
It's a real shame the Tonys have a 5-nominee minimum for Best Musical and other categories.
Posted: 4/26/23 at 11:42pm
I didn't think I'd be saying this two months ago, but I think I agree that A Beautiful Noise would probably be my pick for the 5th slot. I think its biggest crime was being kind of boring but at least it had a coherent plotline and wasn't drawn out, and you actually felt for the characters (sometimes).
I can still probably see NYNY getting nominated on technical elements alone, but it would just be more of a courtesy nod than anything.

Annnnnnnnnd, right on cue, all the vultures have arrived.

I was thinking the same thing. Interesting that Elisabeth reviewed that one too.
Does anyone know how they decide at the NYT who reviews what?
Posted: 4/26/23 at 11:57pm
Jesse did the feature on Kander, so he can't also review it.

Lin would never put his name on something he didn't think would be a complete hit. This is a critical flop.
Posted: 4/27/23 at 12:32am
Eek. Those were pretty rough.
I do still think NYNY snags that fifth slot for Best Musical but I would be feeling a little bit better if I was involved with A Beautiful Noise right about now...
Posted: 4/27/23 at 12:37am
I say give the fifth slot to KPOP.
