I guess Funny Girl won't be at the AW?"

I believe Funny Girl starts previews sometime in April. Definitely possible as long as Slave Play doesn’t extend"

I don't think it will, assuming Slave Play is a limited engagement that is?

It has not even been announced yet, so let's wait for that before discussing extensions. With zero Tony wins, I don't see the point of reopening anyways. But, it might win one.

So much for using any Tony wins for advertising purposes!

Well... it's officially available on Seat Geek! Guess they can still market as "The Most Tony Nominated Play Ever"??

This seems like it's going to be a huge financial mistake but hey it's not my money.

I can only assume they thought it would sweep tonight and wanted the tickets to go on sale the same night.

Tony Award rules state that a show cannot use nominations that didn't result in a win in their advertising after 30 days of the ceremony, soooo.....

You'd think they'd have inkling. But very interesting. Is it a commercial venture or did they partner with a non-profit?

Indeed!

Once the Tony Awards® have been announced for a given season, you must discontinue the use of the Tony Award® designation on behalf of a recipient of a nomination who did not receive an award within 30 days following the date of the announcement. You may continue to use the Tony Award® designation on behalf of a recipient of an award in accordance with these rules.

Maybe tomorrow/next week? They should've brought back something like Ferryman (people were speculating over this one on Twitter), Sea Wall/A Life, or A Rose Tattoo (which I unfortunately missed).

Yes. She was was essentially in a one person show. She was magnificent and haunting.

Yeah I thought she was as much of a lock as Burstein was.

Didn’t realize she lost. I love me some MLP. She was so great.

I’m confused. Every reaction I saw to this show was people were loving it. I saw very few negative reactions. Does it have more to do with the playwright?

I didn't, because I thought the best way for them recognize Slave Play was through an acting award, and Kalukango was the highlight of that show.

I don't think the Tony voters would have taken kindly to his presence on social media. It's still a very old-fashioned crowd there. So yeah, I think losing out on Best Play is definitely down to the playwright.

Then you clearly didn't read the threads here because they were very mixed. Jeremy is extremely off putting to me and people either love or hate the guy. The crap he spews on social media doesn't help. He seems like he wants to be invited to parties and get to know wealthy celebrities more than celebrate art, honestly.

"

I know I saw reactions on social media, but that doesn’t mean I read it on here. Two separate things. Two places where people can have very different responses, okay? Thanks. No need to put me down every chance you get.

ahhh. I see. Aw man. I wonder why they’d bring it back then..curious.

Once again, that's not true. And stop thinking Im personally attacking you when I am simply offering an explanation. People aren't going to react exactly how you want them to, so stop being so defensive and thinking every single thing is people insulting you. If so, this board isn't for you plus it's really, really annoying. And no one is '"putting you down". Thanks.
