The role &his performance is the most interesting of men in musicals this season so far - our Tony front runner for Lead Actor (and we loved Henry). Tutty just holds this show up with more stage time and 90 minutes ranging from adorably comedic to heart breaking drama."

I have loved Tutty in this production since I saw it in Kilburn. But please. Josh Henry is and will remain the front runner till he wins. And as silly as Chess is, Nicholas Christopher performing Endgame alone beats Tutty in performance!

SCHMIGADOON!."

Just five new musicals this season has to be a all-time low. Wondering if something like BENJAMIN BUTTON slides in because of this. Or BULL DURHAM.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

I saw Schmigadoon during it's KC run and while I had fun, I don't think it's a Best Musical contender. From what I've seen Benjamin Button is very British and we've seen pretty mixed success for those on Broadway.

So so far, Two Strangers probably has a decent chance. Funny how last season was so, so heavy with new musicals and this season is so sparse.

It feels like a lot of those were in the pipeline and as their budgets grew, they kept believing they could make it back. Now, we know the market can’t support most of these budgets. And as it’s been pointed out, the theatres available or coming available are all huge, and thus, a huge risk.

I think these are pretty good reviews, and about what was expected. The BWW roundup looks far more positive than Didtheylikeit.

If this ends up running for a long time, who would replace Sam? Does it need to be a British actor? My first thought was Charlie Stemp, but I wonder if he has aged out of this type of role.

Come on the reviews weren’t bad, it even got a critic pick from the NYT. This is no Tammy Faye.


Given it is only a two handed, it wouldn’t be expensive, this could pull 6-8 months, get on the US Tour circuit and re-open off Broadway.

I still think Benjamin Button would be a home run if it opened this season. It's the best of what we have so far.

They have appeared to learn their lesson with last Spring' many embarrassments. I think a good sparse season is perfectly fine for patrons, and it's very much preferred to a complete oversaturation of garbage shows.

Looking through Wikipedia, the 94-95 season appears to have had only two new musicals - Sunset Blvd and Smoky Joe's Cafe. I think I've read that they almost cancelled the category that year.

Saw today’s matinee. Loved everything about it! Both performers were fantastic and it was such a treat to see a new original musical. 10/10!

So this will likely get nominated for a Tony it has decent reviews, including a rave from the NYT, has Two Strangers now done enough to get on the tour circuit? Say it was and played Chicago, the show would be lost in the Oriental and Cadillac Palace, where the CITB theatre would be better or the Water Tower but smaller the theatre the lower the ticket gross?

Perhaps it runs at Chicago Shakespeare Theater? McCollum has come there before.

Where did Once play when it toured? Concerts by single artists play enormous venues including arenas and no one complains about them being lost or swallowed up by the venues. This will play just fine.
