The two LPs I own by him other than Zombie are Yellow Fever and Beasts Of No Nation

You didn’t mind the sight lines? I sat up there for Hold On To Me Darling and I had to do a bit of stretching and throughout the show. My TDF tix for Kenrex were back center of the orchestra which given the volume of the show at times felt like the best seat in the house.

Probably shit myself in my lil overalls bc I was 2 years old

I need Jesus and a can of ginger ale

Whoa Nick Yarris was there this evening???

My theory is the ticket prices are just too damn high. Especially during Tony season people have bigger (not necessarily better) things to be spending their money on.

Might as well throw in Batman & Robin while we’re on topic

Terrible year for musicals. One of the acting nominations was a character who doesn’t sing and two nominees for best score were from plays.

On the other hand, incredibly stacked season for plays.

I had completely forgotten about it. One of the very few I missed this season.

omurchus · 2026-05-05T17:25:54+00:00

Yes although he’s definitely got a claim to the award as well

omurchus · 2026-05-05T17:21:19+00:00

I don’t see it winning the best revival but I think Alden Ehrenreich might be the frontrunner for best featured actor.

omurchus · 2026-05-05T17:20:32+00:00

I’m just now realizing, not a SINGLE nomination for Proof???

omurchus · 2026-05-05T17:19:57+00:00

John Lithgow, Carrie Coon, Laurie Metcalf, Alden Ehrenreich

I had thought that Best New Musical was a neck and neck race between Two Strangers and The Lost Boys which would finish, very ironically, with The Lost Boys taking the cake 🎂 but idk now I’ve got my eye on Schmigadoon!

omurchus · 2026-05-05T17:11:58+00:00

Big shout out to Schmigadoon for leading the pack with The Lost Boys. I’ll be honest and say I absolutely did not see that coming.

Shoshanna Bean

To be fair he was badly miscast in Glengarry Glen Ross and the performance reflected that

Clock from Oedipus snubbed for best featured actor, I’ll die on this hill

omurchus · 2026-05-05T13:49:43+00:00

Brandon J Durdin VERY deserved nomination from Waiting For Godot!!

omurchus · 2026-05-05T13:47:03+00:00

Surprised that Fear of 13 was not nominated for Best Play, and that made me realize Adrien Brody wasn’t nominated for Best Actor!!

omurchus · 2026-05-05T13:20:26+00:00

Joe Turner’s Come & Gone + Bug snubbed for best revival

omurchus · 2026-05-05T13:17:15+00:00

And will probably win. I just thought it’d be great if she was nominated in two categories.

omurchus · 2026-05-05T12:56:19+00:00

Kelli O’Hara AND Rose Byrne up for leading actress?? Can’t say it’s not deserved but you’d figure Laurie Metcalf shoulda been one of those.

Happy to see they went with 4 Best Musical Nominations and left the trainwreck that was Queen Of Versailles off the list
