What realistic Tony nominations do you think BE MORE CHILL will receive? — Page 2

NY Times on Be More Chill is like:

If Jesse Green reviews the Broadway production (and he should), I believe it will be postitive.

This is a really crowded season. But from what I could tell from its off-Broadway run, BMC doesn't really have an excited industry fanbase, or at least not yet. It was not an engagement that got people buzzing, the way, say, Dear Evan Hansen did when it was at 2nd Stage. And as of right now, who knows how BMC will even do on Broadway? It'll be the underdog no matter what.

The BMC fanbase falls almost exclusively in that awkward 22-28 age range that is too young to have enough money to buy full price tickets and (usually) too old to have mommy and daddy there to enable them financially.

Really that's the FAN BASE age 22-28? I thought this was for teens-college years (13-22)? It's about kids-teenagers!"

I don't think it is accurate to say the fan base is 22-28.

I'd say the fanbase is between 13-25. I know a lot of people my age (early 20s) who really adore it, but not so many older than us."

I think there is definitely a chunk of late 20s/early 30s fans who have been following Joe Iconis for a long time and are excited for his Broadway debut but do agree the demographic for this show specifically trends younger.

This isfor kids. It literally plays like a project that a bunch of high school students wrote in their drama class.The cast is talented, but there is no Tony worthy performance happening here."



^This...score and possibly Musical but highly doubt that

I believe its been updated though hasn't it? Making it once again eligible? Id be shocked if it isn't. Its not like this is a jukebox musical thats been out there for years and the mass public to hear.

Don’t want to come off as snobby. But the bulk hasn’t existed as an album. Around 12 songs are kept from the original album of 2010, and the album from NYTW had about half the show. London has rewrites, including songs, lyrics, and the music itself. Since the show is different from the album, it should be considered for Best Score. The two albums are about an hour or so, and London’s runtime is 2 hours 30 minutes.
