But would FN be charged more because the show isn't nominated? I know they all need to pay in order to perform, and I would have assumed it's the same price for everyone, maybe varying by length of the number. But do they charge depending on how many (or if any) nominations a show has? In other words, is it completely arbitrary? That doesn't sounds right.

Harvey Weinstein has money. And, being a producer, he wants his show to be promoted, so that the (in my opinion) unfair reviews won't weigh too much. Some people on this board seem unable to capacitate of the fact.

Anyway. I love Stronger, but I hope they do a medley so that Laura Michelle Kelly can also be featured. She has a lovely voice and stage presence. It drives me crazy that they never recognize her as an Olivier Award winner in promos.

I'm sorry. I'm Italian, and English is my second language. I do my best. I just meant "unable to accept".

Anyways: "to capacitate:1. To render fit or make qualified; enable." http://www.thefreedictionary.com/capacitate

English is my first language and I've never heard the word. It sounds great. It fits perfectly. I like it.

Congratulations on your capabilities in a new language. I'm really struggling to learn just the basics of Spanish.

I am curious to see if any show will disregard nominated leads in a performance, or rather not feature them vocally. For example, last year with GGLAM, Mays introduced the number with costumes. In 2009, Shrek opted for an ensemble number. Would producers rather use time to advertise the show, with a group number, appealing possibly to a wider ticket buying audience, or do a medley of a few solo numbers, to feature Tony nominated performances when votes have already been cast, especially in a cast where there is no big name?

Bryce Pinkham and Lauren Worsham were both nominated and featured in the Gentleman's Guide performance.

Ultimately, as was the case with Gentleman's Guide, most producers choose what the show will perform based on what will sell the show the best, not on showcasing the nominees, especially since an actor winning a Tony rarely has an effect on the show's box office.

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
