Fun fact: the first season was nominated for seven awards at the first CAA back in 2017, winning for Hero of the Year - Izuku Midoriya.
All seven shows nominated for best musical and best revival musical will perform on the show, and I’m assuming Chess will get a performance since there’s little competition. Looking back at previous ceremonies in the last ten years, there’s been an average nine musicals performed at the Tony’s each year. In years that have less nominees, it’s usually padded out by performances by shows not nominated for the top awards or special performances either due to a milestone anniversary or a special showcase. There’s also been performances to honor an individual and of course the in memoriam tribute. A couple of times there’s been a performance from an upcoming show (I remember when Jennifer Hudson performed Neverland from Finding Neverland a year before it opened). What do you think? Personally I hope they hype an upcoming revival next season like Evita or Dreamgirls with a performance.
For me, I saw the dub first in 2020, then after catching up to season 4 I watched the sub.
I wonder if it’s permanent or because of the Tony’s, they’re letting the audience go all out for this performance?!
I’m going next Saturday and was wondering if it’s worth being at the stage door after the 5pm show when the next show starts at 8:30pm. I’m not expecting Maya to come out at that earlier time but what about the other cast members? What’s your experience with the 5pm stage door?
