so so so happy for DanRad, I fully believe he should’ve been nominated ages ago for How to Succeed, and I hope he wins! same for Groff who should’ve won one long ago! I hope Merrily sweeps

To this day I don't understand Dan not getting a nom for How to Succeed. He was so great in the show. He probably would have been my runner up that year (after Tony Sheldon for Priscilla).

i have to think it was just broadway being a bit snobby but i hope there was some instant regret from voters once they saw his Tonys performance. it's so joyful

Well I’m happy for the Merrily gang Rachel McAdams, and Amy Ryan, I’ll definitely watch the show for them!

So many greats in Spamalot and only one nod for Leslie?! Odd!

I should probably watch more theater. I'm rooting for my girl Jess Juliana Canfield tho!

I saw Here Lives Love, but that was only because I was going with friends. Otherwise, I haven't seen a Broadway show since I was a kid. I didn't think it was very good tho. I saw John Mulaney and Olivia Munn in the audience lol

Are you outside of NY? If so, splurge on a ticket to London and just see a bunch of shows there, they are cheaper.

I live in NYC but I wonder if it might be cheaper to fly to London, get a hotel, and see West End shows there than here! Even with the discounts, TKTS, etc. I find Broadway prices to be pretty eye-watering. I go to the occasional off-off-Broadway performance, and I watch a lot of opera--much easier to get cheap tix!

Pasting my reply from the other comment :)

It's definitely doable during off season. I just went in November. My flights from NYC to Heathrow was under $600 round trip and there are tons of decent hotels near Paddington station for under $100 a night. Each time I go, I catch a few shows and pay under $75 for good seats, so I think it's worth it. And if you go during theatre week, even better. A number of shows sell seats as cheap as $25, sometimes even in orchestra.

I have tickets to see Stereophonic this Saturday and I'm so psyched. I really regretted missing the Playwrights Horizons run so I made sure to get tickets to that one as soon as the transfer announced. I'm seeing Uncle Vanya and Suzan Lori-Parks's new play, Sally and Tom, the weekend after that. I'm hoping I can get digital rush tickets for Mother Play in the next few weeks. I am curious about Cabaret as well, but I'm too poor for those tickets lol.

I'm a little surprised at the love for Hell's Kitchen since I thought the run at the Public was just ok (well performed but mediocre book) and it didn't seem like much changed. I was also underwhelmed by Suffs when it ran at the Public, but I've heard it had significant revisions so I'd be curious to see it again. I am bummed that Phillipa Soo didn't stay on though.

Other than that, I was a big fan of Merrily, Illinoise, Purlie Victorious, An Enemy of the People, and Mary Jane. I was happy to see them all get recognition.
