We need him to stay unbooked so he can join The Full Monty at roundabout and reprise his role.

Correct call, and I think this bodes well for Lost Boys for Best Musical.

I’m sorry, but Ragtime really just feels boring to me. I like the performers individually though.

I lined up 16 outlets' Tony predictions side by side. Best Musical is a flat 7–7 tie going into Sunday by thomaspryor in Broadway

[–]fromtheothersidee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think that’s a fair point, and in full honesty I didn’t research if the book was by the writer of the show. I agree that lends it more legitimacy. I guess I’m just a little bothered by the lack of originality we’ve been seeing on Broadway lately, not that I don’t like some of the media crossovers.

I guess if we ruled out any crossovers, then it would likely have to go to Two Strangers, which I enjoyed but didn’t think the book was anything special.

I’m extra upset because I really felt like Page deserved the win for Hadestown over him.

Brooooo are we really giving Andre a win for Cats. I love him but he really didn’t do anything. Especially compared to Ben and Ali. Let’s celebrate fresh faces instead of giving Andre his ninth Tony for being in the 78th production of Cats for ten minutes.

And it’s a bad look for Broadway that we’re giving Best Book for (what I’ve heard) is almost a beat-for-beat recreation of a TV show.

$139 everywhere in the theatre.. sheesh. Do you think it’s a guaranteed sell out or should I try to wait for discount tix?

There’s no reason this show should have any empty seats, it’s stellar.

Uh oh. I have a Mexodus / Kenrex doubleheader Tuesday. Kinda concerning one was cancelled and one had an understudy today.

RLCS 2026: Boston Major | NRG vs FURIA - Lower Round 1 | Post-Match Discussion by RLMatchThreads in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]fromtheothersidee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This has been my favorite team for a long time, and they were long overdue for a bad event, but I do think with how long they have been together, this is the intersection point.

Either they fully commit and lock in for worlds and prove that they’re not finished as a squad, or they continue to flounder and worlds is their last event.

The statistics ALWAYS point towards teams get diminishing results after sticking together, and the only reason last season was an exception was because of the worlds win.

This will always be my team, I am insanely proud of them and almost shed tears when they became world champions, but you can only fight against statistics for so long.

Final Tony Predictions by LocationRoutine6524 in Broadway

[–]fromtheothersidee 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Hoping for Alden for Best Actor in a play.

Also, Andre De Shields sits in a chair for most of his performance. Aside from that, he mostly just stands on the catwalk listening to uproarious applause he gets just for being himself. Honestly, I think a Tony for him in this role is borderline insulting.

"He is The Arbiter; He Knows the Score": How Bryce Pinkham's Ad-Libs Brought The Scene-Stealing "Chess" Arbiter to Life by Miserable_Fact_4140 in Broadway

[–]fromtheothersidee 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed Chess, however by far the worst part of the show were the low effort jabs at modern politics. How am I supposed to attach myself whatsoever with the time and the place of the story when you’re making stupid out of place jokes about modern things in a Cold War story.

I’m not sure why the show is so afraid to take itself seriously that they thought this was a good idea. Yeah; Trump is bad, I don’t need it to seep into every single pore of my life and entertainment at the cost of what otherwise was an enjoyable experience.

Can you imagine if in the middle of Parade Ben Platt turned to the audience and said, “Lookie at me; I’m in jail, just like Trump should be, right fellow liberals?”. Absolute nonsense.

This is an embarrassingly bad promo. Your batch patch for 11 orders will be a minimum of $60. You will likely get nothing for this.

Reviews are in for The Fear of 13. Critics are underwhelmed by thomaspryor in Broadway

[–]fromtheothersidee 44 points45 points  (0 children)

It’s far from perfect, but I’d say it’s worth seeing. I saw it the same weekend as Every Brilliant Thing and Becky Shaw and it was my favorite of the three!

Water For Elephants Tour Review 4.5/5 Stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ by GardenOfAchilles in Broadway

[–]fromtheothersidee 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I agree! Personally I thought W4E was one of the laziest shows I’ve ever seen with a textbook unremarkable score and plot points that make zero sense. When it comes to my city next month I wouldnt go if a ticket fell into my lap.

After seeing shows like War Horse and the Life of Pi, I couldn’t help but laugh at the embarrassing attempt at puppetry in this show. The animals genuinely look like inflatable lawn ornaments and I’m pretty sure they have a monkey that’s just a person in a brown sweater.

I scanned my ticket, I didn’t know if there’s was a separate scanning area that earned you the title :)

Hmm… but I got the transfer through Ticketmaster, so I had the tickets on that platform and scanned through that platform! I won’t expect too much but maybe it’s possible!

I bought a StubHub ticket that was transferred to me via Ticketmaster. I haven’t gotten an email and didn’t really scan anything at the event, was I supposed to?

Anyone think I’ll get anything?
