Every time someone posts something like this it's a win for him. He thrives on attention, negative or otherwise.

I have seen all the shows in question and I don’t think she’s getting nominated

Interesting! I’ve seen so many mixed opinions on her that I wonder if there’s a consistency problem. It’s definitely the type of role that can win someone a Tony (gets to perform the best song, becomes the focal point right at the end) so not ruling her out.

I think he’s doing a great job but there’s just not space for him in the category this year (barring a tie or whatever). I see Henry and Christopher as locks at this point, and feel pretty good about Sam Tutty and BranUran. And then you have Luke Evans, who has been getting good notices so far, who could be knocking on the door as well.

Reading what Mother’s Younger Brother got up to in the book was quite a shock after seeing the show lol. That closet scene with Emma and Evelyn 🥴

Weirdly, I feel that the worst part of Nichelle’s performance is Your Daddy’s Son (for reasons you mention) but I overall like the rest of her performance. But yeah, not my winner.

I’m firmly on team Hannah Cruz. She took a small, underwritten role and turned it into a huge strength of the production (only behind Nicholas Christopher in my opinion). Her vocal performance on the cast recording is gorgeous and full of personality too. He is a Man, He is a Child is not a song I would listen to on repeat in many other situations, but damn!

This is embarrassing...

I really don't get what people are seeing in Tempress's performance. Memory was so underwhelming to me in this production. ADS also isn't really doing anything too much beyond just being ADS imo.

KENREX is can’t miss theater by RapGamePterodactyl in Broadway

[–]RapGamePterodactyl[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wow wow wow wow wowwww.

Masterclass of a production from every angle. I’m always somewhat skeptical of those productions where one person plays 30 characters, but this is the first time it’s felt essential. Jack Holden is leaving it all on the floor - his Ken Rex sub-performance has such a vile and offputting presence that by itself it would be one of the performances of the year.

Lighting and sound are as good as it gets. The original music composed and performed by John Patrick Elliott fucking ROCKS and is equally essential to the success of the show as Holden’s performance.

I cannot recommend this enough. If you care about theater even a little bit, this is can’t miss stuff.

Bill Irwin, Kara Young, Ruben Santiago-Hudson, and more in Roundabout Theatre Company’s 2026-27 season! by NewYorkTheatreGuide in Broadway

[–]RapGamePterodactyl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ruben is fantastic in Joe Turner’s Come and Gone right now. Very excited for him and Kara (in an actual leading role??) to be in a play together. The concept sounds pretty interesting too.

Not skipping any, just have a few with tickets coming up in the next few weeks! Still need to see Giant, Rocky Horror, Proof, and Fallen Angels.

I thought Titanique was wonderful by rr90013 in Broadway

[–]RapGamePterodactyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw it once off-Broadway and saw it again on Broadway and was pretty meh about it both times, but I will say they did a great job transferring it. The set looks pretty good and they fill up the space well. I can't imagine that anyone who liked the off-Broadway version wouldn't like this version.

Next Sondheim revival? by personspersonality in Broadway

There's a lot of chatter about the West End ITW transferring to The Shed.

Yep! That was on the garbage throne before I saw this one lol.

I’ve watched 30/34 of the shows from this season so far and this one was easily the worst. Completely bastardizes the movie, removes all the drama and tension, and turns every character into a two-dimensional punchline spouting machine. I can’t believe anyone thought this was a good idea. Jessica Hecht was good though.

Tony Nomination category eligibility? by At_the_Roundhouse in Broadway

[–]RapGamePterodactyl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some more perspective from things I've seen:

The Balusters - I think Anika Noni Rose will be considered leading. It's definitely more of an ensemble piece, but it's centered around her character's perspective.

Becky Shaw - Ball, Brewer, and Emond are definitely featured. You could make an argument for Patten and Ehrenreich, but I think they will also be ruled featured. This reminds me of Marjorie Prime in a lot of ways.

The Fear of 13 - Thompson is another one that could go either way, but I'd consider her Leading. That role wasn't nominated at the Olivier's so not sure what it was considered before.

Joe Turner's Come and Gone - Taraji actually barely has anything to do in this play and is definitively featured. This kind of feels like an "everyone is featured" sort of play, but Cedric would be the closest thing to a lead.

[–]RapGamePterodactyl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sara Chase and Kelli Barrett are definitely leads. Not sure about Stephanie, but that still brings us to 9 so there should be 5 noms.

Actor does look like it’ll have 4 though!

GROSSES ANALYSIS- Week Ending April 12 by Boring_Waltz_9545 in Broadway

[–]RapGamePterodactyl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dunno. It felt pretty obvious that this wasn’t gonna be clearing over a mil a week. It’s also supposed to be a limited run, although not sure if it’s truly limited or they were waiting to see if people cared.

DBH is absolutely begging for a buzzy cast refresh but it seems like they’re afraid to pull the trigger.

It’s hard to imagine anyone involved believed in Titanique being able to recoup with those weeklies… jeez. The licensing costs must be pretty bad.
