Oh just like how Rudin made sure carousel was the best it could be??

I will say that I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaated Carousel but Rudin's track record as a producer is pretty stellar. There have been some major duds, but given how much he does, I consider it pretty impressive what percentage of his shows are incredibly artistically successful. But I will also say that I'm not at all looking forward to Mockingbird. It's a brilliant team, but I've always had the very unpopular opinion that it's one of the country's most overrated novels.

So excited about the Hadestown love. I just bought my tickets for London. Am I right though that they have not announced a London cast yet? I really hope Amber is in, I love her.

I see Tootsies earning nominations for Best Actor, Musical, and Score at least. Obviously, I can't say much about the design categories since nothing has been released yet.

Agreed Mr. Peach,..Boys in the Band. I thought Robin stole the show. The best laughs came from his delivery.

I always feel odd making predictions so far out and often before we have confirmation of a show opening...but Patrick Page and Amber Grey are two of the most deserving actors from any show in a long time. Especially Patrick Page, as I really can’t imagine Hadestown without him.

I'm curious and hopeful about MOCKINGBIRD. It's the first Broadway show where Bartlett Sher isn't working with his go-to collaborators, Michael Yeargan (set designer) and Catherine Zuber (costume designer). Hopefully he'll be able to create magic onstage with his new colleagues. (The design team is Miriam Buether, Ann Roth, Jennifer Tipton, Scott Lehrer, and Adam Guettel...not too shabby!)

The play has a great ensemble cast, so there could be a lot of opportunities for nominations in the acting categories, depending on how it is.

I find it very odd that Patrick Page, who is generally regarded as one of the best classical stage actors in the country, hasn’t ever even been NOMINATED for a Tony Award. By the time the show transfers he’ll be almost 60. Give the man a damn Tony already!

That depends -- are the designs original for the Broadway show --- or are many of them recreations of iconic dresses that Cher has actually worn -- like the Oscar dress? If it's the latter, they would probably be deemed ineligible.

I actually think they thought about this, because while some of them have some of the same silhouettes as iconic Cher outfits. Many of them seemed tailored for the stage.

Not to mention, there are a lot of fabulous costumes not even worn by the Chers, too!
