Titanique crushed its assignment. Despite audio issues.

Why have they given her so much air time?

Very sad, I really adored it but probably announcing closing tomorrow.

I don’t know what happened with Adrien, that was incredibly strange. Is that how he did it at dress?

I’m just guessing that they cut him for time. Lithgow’s speech ran very long.

Should have just let Layton do 'River Deep, Mountain High'

He's just pissed his terrible play got no love.

She never sounded like that when I saw her a month ago or in the basement of the grocery store in the original run.

Titanique seems fun but I am not a fan of Marla Mindelle’s voice. I wonder if they do close if there is a chance for them to transfer back off-Broadway.

They weren't taking any chances after Brody's acceptance speech at the Oscars last year

I think Adrien Brody didn’t say anything because it’s a bit of him speaking too much in his Oscar acceptance speech

Layton as the Iceberg would be perfection.

If Rachel Zegler is performing later, I wish they would have picked someone else to present. Just a personal preference, but I don’t like when award shows have people do double duty like that.

Im so sorry if that was your only exposure, she has never sounded so bad in any theater. That sold negative 23438 tickets.

They never made money off-broadway and aren't making money on broadway. It's going to licensing.

I did say this was happening almost 2 years ago 😬😆

Audio has sounded off across the board (I remember it happening last year too (Water for Elephants got hosed by it)

That "Titanique" performance makes me so upset I didn't go see it downtown while I was living back there.

first hour recap:
I thought the opening number was hard to understand lyric wise, but PINK was fantastic in it and in her monologue after. nice little call outs to the cameos from this season-- Mulvaney, Megan Thee Stallion, etc. Good energy.
Maya and Cole hilarious, but I found my heart sinking when Lithgow’s name was called over Nathan Lane. In the weeks since I’ve seen both of them, Lane’s performance has stayed with me in ways few others have. No slight to Lithgow, though. He was smart to call our appreciation for GIANT here because i think thats the end of them for the night...
Schmigadoon was fine- I’m not sure they really sold the parody element to the average viewer; only Ana Gasteyer sold that element well.
What the hell was Adrien Brody’s intro to Ragtime? No one intro’d him, and he had nothing to say about the show? Was that a glitch of some sort? The performance itself was solid—theyre pretty much sold out for the rest of the run, and why not show the genius of the opener?
Marla Mindelle sounded rough—they all did, really. The humor came through but the musical element did not—yikes. (And I thought they all sounded incredible when I saw them during previews). Layton Williams would have sold more tickets and still would have allowed Mindelle to do her intro shtick.
Ariana DeBose enters and everyone screams NOOOOOO

The order of performances is determined way before 3 days ago, which is when voting closed. So, there's absolutely no way that order of performance is based on who is winning.
