Which one will do better?
These two have to be the favorites for the Tony's. Any predictions?
How great is it to get two brand new musicals!

Original musicals, no less.
I'm crossing my fingers for them both.

Good point, I stand corrected. Original musicals with original music and an original storyline (and all good too) was what I meant to say...

Posted: 1/24/08 at 11:05pmBoth! They both sound very exciting, although I'm much more curious about Passing Strange.

Just imagine, if Next to Normal transfers, we may have three completely original Best Musical nominees.

Posted: 1/24/08 at 11:24pmI pray Passing Strange, but I'm alittle biased because i adore Rebecca Naomi Jones who is in the cast. :/

I don't really know much about either show. If you say which show you think will do better, could you give a reason? :)
Next to Normal? You think it could transfer that fast?

Posted: 1/24/08 at 11:47pmIf the reviews are good it could conceivably transfer that fast. Rent (another Greif show) closed off-Broadway at the end of March in 1996 and started previews on Broadway in the middle of April. Spelling Bee (which was also at Second Stage January through March) also transferred to Broadway in mid-April.

In The Heights.
Although, I am intrigued by the Passing Strange music and storyline, having only heard some of it.

Posted: 1/29/08 at 5:00pmThere's a Broadway Bullet podcast with 25 minutes of music from Passing Strange on it. Did anyone see Passing Strange at the Public Theatre? If so, how was it?
