oh that is refreshing. The next reform: limit who’s who credits in Playbills for so many producers. Give more space to the performers and creatives.

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

When the Stage Harnesses the Power of the Movies
Adaptations of films will be a factor at the Tonys this year. Surprisingly the best of these shows are not always the most faithful.

No news on who's presenting/performing yet? It's in less than two weeks.

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.

To my understanding, this year, only the Best Musical Nominees and the Best Revival of a Musical nominees will be performing due to time restrictions with CBS. It’s not necessarily running the same way as 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.

I haven't seen a ton of talk about what's going to win the design categories. It doesn't feel like a year where one play/musical sweeps everything, so how do we think those categories are gonna go?

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 with Stereophonic and Illinoise on my NYC visit starting tomorrow. These "best tracks" though are still not moving me to spend money on W4E, Outsiders, HK, and Suffs. I do have one slot open, though, and realizing that judging them divorced of their scores is hard, can anyone recommend which one might 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.
