Odd choice of number from a show that has such beautiful songs and such beautiful vocals."





Highlighting the best part of Carousel...the choreography!

Since the inception of this Carousel revival, all the attention has been put on Justin Peck's choreography. There has been more features and write-ups about that more than anything else about this production. Even that trailer that they released was all about showing off the choreography to the point where it looked like a ballet with some songs rather than an integrated Broadway show where song, dialogue, and dance work together to tell a whole story.

Yes. Justin Peck won a Tony for it. I think they were always going to showcase the choreography.

Norbert Leo Butz.... didn’t win...?

That was an amazing speech from Ariel Stachel!

Agreed. Well deserved!

Wow. What an amazing man. Loved him so much in the show, and love him in real life now. What a voice.

Norbert did Nobert in MFL. Ari'el was mysterious, suave, and extremely memorable in the TBV.

YES

The Tony Awards have never been about the true best of the season.

As shown by Passing Strange's fate. And the fate of MANY other shows.

The voters have their heads too far up their rectums and it's all politics. It's rarely the best of a season that gets recognized. Spongebob is getting snubbed because the Tony Voters are too pretentious for it.

There need to be more voters under the age of 60 who actually reflect the diversity of Broadway and who actually reflect Broadway audiences.

I'm happy that the Drama Desk awards rewarded Spongebob, a awards show that actually reflects the community.
