You’re a delusional pathetic clown. Lord.

You refuse to answer the question of why you need to create a new profile and username every few weeks. Nobody likes you here. Stop coming back.

Did they come up on the lift? Loved seeing that live.

And waved goodbye to us on the way back down. They ran through the opening number 3 full times."

Wow so exciting! Glad that will be preserved.

Ben Levi Ross is out tonight. I know Shaina Taub being out was scheduled, but not sure if this was?

Been a long day - caughtthe train early from DC & was go go go.

Gist ofmy thoughts are as good as Mr. Henry is, the emotional core of the show for me rested on Cassie Levy - who was just fantastic.

Possibly this wins both lead acting awards, but not certain it will take best revival. Second act has moments, but is not as good as 1st. Show end issatisfying, but it takes a looooong time to get there."


That’s an interesting response. I remember the original being that way, especially in that barn of a theater but found this production much more concise which I attribute to the direction. I could still do with less time spent on some of the historical characters. Evelyn Nesbitt and Houdini didn’t need to show up in Act II.

Falsettolands said: "Perhaps this is too confident, but I don’t see how this doesn’t take Best Revival. The overwhelming thought of “this is so RELEVANT” seems to permeate the buzz behind this production."

Did you see Cats: Jellicle Ball off-broadway? I think the pure joy of that production may be hard to beat, as much as I'd love to see Ragtime get the recognition.

I think it's going to be a horse race between the two. Cats will have a lot of support for completely reimagining a well-known show and giving us something we didn't know we wanted. But I could also see voters wanting to give Ragtime its due after previously losing Best Musical and Best Revival, sort of a "Justice for Ragtime" mentality. I'm generally in favor of the award going to a production that takes wild swings and makes it work, but sometimes The Pajama Game still beats John Doyle's Sweeney Todd in the end!

LOL. The London production of Follies was 8 years ago.

The reason why Shaina is taking her long leave of absence during the winter doldrums (January 6 - March 29) is that she wants to give her mind and body a break due to recent miscarriages.

Jeez. Prayers up for her.

Imagine talking to a bot with 45 different screen names and defending that choice. I love it.

Then again, Steve was the dumb one of the group so.....it tracks

Sweet, wonderful Shaina, take all the time you need, it's such a heartbreak
