Tony Award for Blackbird? Nomination yes, win no (went to Jessica Lange). For me, Michelle Williams in Cabaret lacked the fun and charisma behind what makes Sally irresistible to those around her. Emma Stone nailed it though, she was an amazing Sally.

Williams is the actress of our generation as far as I’m concerned, and I’m sorry to hear this is awful. I was really looking forward to it.

The first preview was a very odd experience to be sure. The show felt very under rehearsed, almost like we were watching an early run through. And as others have stated; when the glass bottles started falling people thought perhaps it was a metaphor, but then when they had to stop, everyone realized that it wasn't supposed to happen. I'm not sure why the people on the payroll whose job it is to make sure things like that don't happen let that happen,  but as a rule you never put real glass on stage anywhere for that exact reason. My partner and I were fascinated by the fact that no one in the tech rehearsal process or dress rehearsal process ever thought that maybe they should do something about it. I would hate to think that last night was the first time they had the full set in place, but perhaps that was the case.
I went specifically for Brian D'arcy James, who was good but seemed a bit miscast. I wonder if he was a replacement for someone else?
