Surprised Six took costumes over Diana or Music Man.

They have to get book at this point.

Orchestrations to GFNC. We're all over the place.

Is it surprising, though? I thought Six would win score, but I still think A Strange Loop will win Best Musical. I had also picked it for lighting, but the design awards were never its strong categories anyway.

MJ is kicking ass so far. May not win Best Musical but it may gather the most awards this year.

This is definitely surprising right now! I am happy SIX won Best Score and Costumes! Just PRAYING Marianne Elliott wins Director and Matt and Patti win for Company!

It is uncommon. But we live in unsual times.

Sorry, I was responding to those who were saying that ASL should be concerned.

That had a cruise ship review feel to me.

This opening is a disaster. And why are there so many many empty seats?
Posted: 6/12/22 at 8:08pm
I don’t think A Strange Loop was favored to win any of the Act One awards. Maybe Best Score if anything. I think it’s still going to win Best Musical.

Enjoyed the opening number but was hoping for something bigger.

I liked the opening. DeBose did great. I'd kill to have even half of her energy, never mind her talent.

Very meh.

It wasn't really impressive and yeah, no one was really around Lin. Bizarre.

Jesus, that was too close on Hugh's face. Looks like he could use a break ASAP.

Let's get him back on stage.

We really are in a post Scott Rudin world. He never would have allowed TMM to perform 76 Trombones at the Tony's because he was a dick like that.

I agree –– and it would be a pretty awful night, saleswise, if ASL ended the night with just a win for Book (or even just wins for Book and Actor).
Though Conor McPherson COULD win Book...he devised a wholly new story for GFTNC. I don't think that will happen, but he'd be my runner-up prediction.
