OH. I now see what you mean.

I enjoyed the choreography of this number. A few other clips I've seen of the show look interesting, but the Grizabella "Memory" number I saw online was

I'd suggest booking your ticket in advance, it's been at/near capacity since opening.

I have to admit, despite the cast I absolutely despise "Death of a Salesman."

let me know when some hero writes the sequel about how everyone is better off when willie is dead

I hate it with a passion

As an aside, Shoshana Bean joins a list of replacement Broadway Elphaba's from "Wicked" who've gone on to other musicals to win a Tony.

Kudos to @peibeck for posting the winners tonight. I know how much it takes when I’ve done it during the film awards season.

 

[peibeck]

Looks like the musical revivals are the only thing to look forward to in my Broadway touring subscription for 27-28.

Best Revival of a Play: "Death of a Salesman"

 

[peibeck]

Have to confess, I dislike "Book of Mormon" as much as "Death of a Salesman."

 

[peibeck]

Erm... isn't this young lady butchering "What I Did for Love" supposed to lead Evita next season?

Rachel Zegler? She played Evita on the West End and won the Olivier for it. Hopefully it's just a bad day for her, generally speaking I enjoy her singing a fair amount.

 

[once_upon]

I admit the only plays/musicals I would want to see
Smigadon
Ragtime
Lost Boys
Liberation
? Maybe Giant

This production is literally nothing like the original, apparently (aside from the score).

I have seen it. I hate Cats, and while I find the direction very well done and fun to watch, ultimately, it doesn't save the fact that the story is Cats and the music is Cats.

Ultimately, I could go see a drag show and have a great time and not be listening to Cats.

Ultimately, I could go see a drag show and have a great time and not be listening to Cats.

And probably also be spending a lot less money.

And probably also be spending a lot less money.

Well, in my case I saw it downtown and got educator tickets, so maybe not once you include tips and drinks. But for sure if I were to see it again.

Thanks! For some reason, I kept seeing the poster from last year. I’ve corrected my previous post.

I like every one of the shows nominated for Best Drama. But I am most happy for "Widow's Bay" in Comedy which has nomiinations in every category: Show, Acting, Supporting Cast, Guest Cast, Directing, Writing....well done. Especially a character actress like Dale Dickey who has been working for decades and this is her first Emmy nomination.

I am sad not to see more love for "Rooster." One nomination.
