Broadway Journal: TONY AWARDS TO BAR CO-PRODUCERS FROM STAGE

I’d much rather see the full cast and crew take the stage than those money men who paid for their participation Tony.

Performers are usually announced just a few days before the telecast.

Seems silly if they want to drum up any excitement or buzz. They need names and promotion. Obviously we'll all watch no matter what, but a regular audience won't."

 

The regular audience doesn't care and won't be watching no matter who is on.

It’s not necessarily running the same wayas previous years where shows can buy time. Stereophonic will therefore not be performing"

This also hurts Back to the Future and The Wiz, as I thought they were pretty much shoo-ins for Tony performances.

There goes my dream of Here Lies Love swings in Presidental masks on the Tony Awards...

Regarding musicals I think ''Cabaret'' takes Scenic and Costumes, ''Hell's Kitchen'' takes Sound, ''Illinoise'' takes Choreo and Orchestrations (or maybe Merrily?) and ''Lightning'' goes to ''Hell's Kitchen''.

I saw and loved HLL (10 years ago) and Wine and Rose off-broadway, and I'm excited to catch up withStereophonic and Illinoise on my NYC visit starting tomorrow. These "best tracks" though are still not moving meto spend money onW4E, Outsiders, HK, and Suffs. I do have one slot open, though, and realizingthat judging them divorced of their scores is hard, can anyone recommend which onemight be the most engaging on a dramatic/non-musical level. I'm leaning toward Suffs? (I'm also seeing EOTP, Cats, Ben Platt, and Christine Andreas).

"

If you're able to get a seat up a bit closer, I would actually recommend Water for Elephants -- The best part of the show is Jess Stone's kaleidoscopic approach to the story, and the main actors are doing some strong, grounded work amongst the spectacle of the acrobatics (particular shout outs to Paul Alexander Nolan, Isabelle McCalla, and Gregg Edelman). Seen it a few times now, and it's just gotten richer as the show has settled and steeped.

Doubtful. Best book only, most likely. Most industry folks don't love Suffs though it is respected for its attempts.
