Colin is the weak link of the show and has been since NYCC. The two men replacing him will be better."

I couldn’t disagree more. I thought Colin was great, and one of my takeaways from this production was that Father is a much bigger role than I remembered. To each their own of course, but I’m curious what you think he should have done differently (which is the same question I have for people who weren’t taken by Caisie’s Mother).

Yeah, it has "no director". Just like with your bulls*it regarding The Lost Boys, that is a lie. Ms. deBessonet gave us exceptional direction but simple folks like you probably didn't get it. She is the sole female nominee. She is incredibly talented.

Colin is a phenomenal performer and has been there for all the big moments, the last two weeks don't really matter anyway, as everyone who has wanted to see the show has already. Ragtime will win a lot of Tonys as they are the one show that never lost momentum since day 1. Deal with it.

100% Agree! Colin is spectacular in the role and his singing is beautiful!
