So happy for the Merrily gang!! I need it to win revival, and I want Groff and Radcliffe to win too, but I realize that may be unrealistic.

Kara Young better win her category.

Shocked by the Hell's Kitchen love, but I've heard a lot of good things about Stereophonic so those noms don't surprise me. Happy for sexy Oklahoma star Will Brill!

Didn't get the chance to see Gutenberg, but delighted it made an appearance here.

Mad I never got the chance to see Here Lies Love.

I have a theater trip lined up in a couple of weeks. So far, I've got tickets to:

Enemy of the People*
Stereophonic*
The Great Gatsby*
The Who's Tommy*
Patriots*
The Lonely Few (off-Broadway)
Three Houses (off-Broadway)
Illinoise*

*newly Tony nominated!

Still trying to decide on my last two shows. I am pretty sure one is gonna be The Outsiders - I was hoping for a better discount code than what's out there (only for shitty seats), but I am not optimistic. The other one... idk! If my plane gets delayed, I won't be able to see anything else, but if we get to NYC on time, we will be able to fit something in that night. Maybe Lempicka, or Suffs, or Uncle Vanya.

Groff and Radcliffe are the frontrunners IMO. I thought Cabaret was going to put up a decent fight against them in the Revival, Director, and acting categories, but after the reviews they got, I can’t see anyone other than Merrily winning.

[scriptedending]

Yeah, you're probably right. I like Cabaret as a show, but I think it was probably too soon for a revival - one of the reasons I'm not going this trip (along with the batshit ticket prices).

If we are comparing shows, Cabaret is the better of the two (though I love both!) but if we are comparing productions, Merrily wins hands down for me. IMO if you’ve already seen Cabaret, especially if you saw any version by or inspired by the Mendes/Marshall/Cumming version, this production isn’t exactly going to blow you away. It has some good elements but it’s not worth the price.

[scriptedending]

Yeah, I saw it on Broadway with Emma Stone back in 2014, and then the same production on tour in LA in 2016. It's a great show, but everything I saw from the current production looks kind of inferior to me?! Now I realize I may feel differently after seeing it, and if it's still playing in the fall/winter I will probably get to it then, but I am content with my choice to miss it for now.

all the West End-ers were fucking obsessed with this exact production of Cabaret (I saw that Olivier performance and personally I didn’t like it, felt a bit too “look at how intense this is” when Cabarets intensity speaks for itself), I’m surprised that the critics didn’t fall for it here
