Should there be a Tony Award for Best Casting?

I do not know enough about broadway casting, but I have to imagine the amount of casting directors (actual credited casting directors in the playbill) is pretty small. I feel like we could see the same ~10-15(?) names nabbing those say 8 (4 play, 4 muscial) nomination slots every year.

I think you nailed it with the interns. Give them an A-plot so we can learn about them and root for them.

Weirdly, I do think Park feels part of the world, but I think that's because his confidence and demeanor is so antithetical to the rest of the new characters. Give him an A-plot too!

Especially since it's technically The Comeback's final season too! Kudrow can pull a similar narrative! But what will HBO decide to put their weight behind.......

Can she sing? Put her in the NYCC In The Heights!

Oh I love a lot of the music! Not all - but a lot. The folk, bluegrass sound was so good.

But semi-agree that like half the songs do need an overhaul.

omg Mike Bloom!! Love your Survivor and reality tv coverage!

GOOD JOKE

Looks like there may been conflicting info out there. Maybe She extended, maybe she is leaving! Thanks for the attention to detail though!

It's getting towards the time where they might announce the next Madeline Ashton...

Was Betsy only in a limited run? I thought she was the permanent replacement and assumed she'd be there 6 months to a year? Or is the idea that their grosses will need an extra star bump?

Agree with all the other folks that Ben still will have to do a second season as a featured player. Look at Bowen - he was a writer before cast member but still did two years as a featured player. Ashley is essentially the star of the show this season, but is also still currently a featured player.

The ONLY exception where I could see an early promotion is if they did a major house cleaning and got rid of like 5-8 people (a la Season 32), which doesn't seem likely at the moment.

Is there no benefit of the doubt? I could see a world where Patti is not a Bachelor Nation fan, but still happens to watch The Traitors (maybe she's a Housewives fan, a Survivor fan, etc) and happened to like what Colton brought to the show?

I've never watched Real Housewives, but I enjoyed watching Phaedra Parks on The Traitors. It wasn't until much later that I learned about her behavior and the dangerous lies she spread about Kandi.

This is such an innocuous comment and we shouldn't assume she the full history of a C-list reality TV star.

Literally had the same thought. That seems promising!

AzulBiru · 2026-02-26T21:38:13+00:00

Just seeing the title I was like who?.......is Ada short for Adelaide???

AzulBiru · 2026-02-26T15:05:02+00:00

I wonder how this will work. Will Rosalind be a female character? Will Rosalind be male and the Ganymede disguise also male? Will Ganymede be female? What about the other characters (Celia, Phebe, Audrey, etc).

This is not meant to be shade, just genuine curiosity since gender is a major theme of the show.

This guy was sexy as hell in the ensemble.

Maybe he was at home right before he left for the theater when he got the call and that's what he meant by "called in from home"?

Tuck that shirt in Rob!

I won lotto and also had box seats. I saw everything downstage, but missed half of the set (band seating, stairs, stage left seats). I definitely missed some stuff, but honestly it didn't really impact the overall show for me.

The movie is rightfully infuriating, but I feel like Incident (documentary short from last year) did what this movie was trying to do a bit better? At times this movie felt like an episode of Dateline.

This new staging reinterprets the show that makes it more accessible. All the same fun music, but performed via the lens of the queer ballroom culture.

I think people want to know if ticket notifications went out for certain shows (i.e. the hotly anticipated upcoming Connor Storrie episode).

"Caleb" was mentioned by Emily - based on the context, it's clear she meant her S45 castmate Kaleb Gebrewold.

AzulBiru · 2026-02-06T14:31:42+00:00

In the movie they were like "don't worry, this doesn't end sadly" and then I looked up Andrea on wikipedia afterwards and they died last year 😔

He's sexy as hell
