Revival of a Musical 2014 — Page 2

jnb-
No disagreement from me about quantity over quality, but up this thread there was sentiment favoring more more more. I think if you look at the things that have been coming in, and filter them through the "vision and purpose" lens, the mis-steps become clear. It's fine to say that there are shows you would like to see revived, for your own edification, but it is another thing to say that these properties are viable on Broadway.

A slim chance for on the town according to a friend attached but it's gone a bit quiet...

You could have only 2 candidates compete for best revival, that both happen to be excellent productions, likewise you can have 6-7 up for revival another year that are very weak productions in comparison, but in both these years a production will receive one Tony award, no matter the quality or quantity as the rules stipulate one Tony award will be given out each year for best revival.

I think Violet might have a shot due to the reviews it got, though it's that case of, wait and see for this year.

Dames at Sea hasn't been confirmed and it is leaving it a bit late to open their show for this season.

A lot of the Tony voters are out of town theatre owners and producers and in this area there is a lot love for Cameron Mackintosh as he has put a lot of money in their pockets with 4 hit shows that have put a lot of bums on seats with multiple tours stopping off at their venues. As for Cameroon Mackintosh I wouldn't think now he would care less if his show won or not, if doesn't need a Tony to sell tickets.
