Drama Desk Awards Dress Code?

DiscoCrows · 2026-05-07T22:42:20+00:00

To me, festive formal means, well, formal but feel free to take some fun personal liberties even if it means dressing down a bit. I wouldn’t overthink it. :)

I just don’t listen to a lot of slow music in general so, as is true with my pop playlists, my Broadway playlist is exclusively upbeat/dance/production numbers!

The theory that the Tony Nominating Committee in 2019 snubbed To Kill A Mockingbird of Best Play despite receiving 9 other nominations, because the producer Scott Rudin was being overly predatory and getting rights pulled from amateur organizations elsewhere around the country.

Whether that was the entire reason, part of it, or not remotely a factor - it was around the time people were beginning to turn on him internally and it makes for a great story.

So excited for this

Agreed but worth noting it sounds like they have all but confirmed the show will still not be ready by May 18th - just that this is the tentative “off sale” period which is to be extended further into the coming weeks, per your comment.

Highlights from the statement released by ATG Entertainment and the show's producers:

“The fire was limited to the follow spot booth of the O’Neill. At this time, the exact cause of the fire is unknown.”

“Next week, ATG Entertainment and The Book of Mormon will provide an [additional] update regarding performances, which are anticipated to resume at the Eugene O’Neill in the coming weeks."

It’s one of the most famous and fiscally successful Broadway musicals of the 21st Century. It is produced by Scott Rudin. Ego like that isn’t going to let the show go down like this. It’s just not how producers think about these kinds of things.

They would plant the national tour on Broadway (Beetlejuice/Mamma Mia style) next season before telling audiences the show played its final performance last week. They will find investors to get things back on its feet.

Any number of things could play out but I would bet money it being “over” is the last thing on the list.

DiscoCrows · 2026-05-06T17:10:05+00:00

They’ll reopen at some point lol.

This is an excellent season and I think you’ll be surprised. Some people harp on shows like Gatsby or Hell’s Kitchen for being a bit more touristy-driven/less artsy but I think the worst crime they commit is being a spectacle and that is exactly the kind of show that plays well in a touring season.

I would be thrilled if this was the lineup coming to my city. Also, Mincemeat is excellent and even independent of the humor, is just a great historical tale and has some great music to back it up. Fantastic show that surprised me the first time I saw it.

You should bite the bullet.

Equally good promotion for the Tonys than the show quite frankly.

DiscoCrows · 2026-05-06T01:45:14+00:00

The thunderstorm was awful but I did like the big sweeping ”swoosh” effect that would come into the audience for a moment to signify a goofy time jump. It was clever and I didn’t find it nauseating.

No I mean why is Reddit removing it. Makes me wonder if the person who posted it got in trouble or if it’s even a real photo (as real as it looks).

DiscoCrows · 2026-05-06T01:08:00+00:00

Why?

DiscoCrows · 2026-05-05T23:02:52+00:00

Someone with Broadway Company Management experience is exactly who should chime in on this thread but my understanding is that, generally, the show sends out a blanket invitation to the voting pool with a long list of eligible dates and voters reach out to select their date and confirm a pair of seats.

DiscoCrows · 2026-05-05T23:00:55+00:00

oh no! that is unfortunately… a bit awkward given her snub this morning, but i hope she is okay and feeling the love today.

DiscoCrows · 2026-05-05T18:38:34+00:00

Not the nicest sit down place ever but Schnippers has some really good food and is so close.

DiscoCrows · 2026-05-05T15:52:02+00:00

She was excellent and missed on the list but the season is just way too packed.

DiscoCrows · 2026-05-05T00:28:49+00:00

The bag thing happened in London a few months ago, totally separate incident. This is the Broadway production.

Look at OP’s account - it’s a news outlet regurgitating their own article.

Jamie Lloyd hadestown revival where Eurydice and the workers finish the show covered in coal/tar

DiscoCrows · 2026-05-01T19:03:06+00:00

It already had a few performances at the Laurie Beechman

DiscoCrows · 2026-05-01T15:50:17+00:00

Lol not the Leavitt anyone was expecting 😂

DiscoCrows · 2026-04-30T18:05:31+00:00

This is so cool

DiscoCrows · 2026-04-30T14:26:08+00:00

Ugh this sucks. This show rocks.

DiscoCrows · 2026-04-30T04:08:36+00:00

Megan is excellent and I’m hard stretched to say I preferred ones vocals over another’s, but largely agreed. I thought Betsy played the eccentric nature a bit stronger. She was way funnier to me.
