I still refuse to acknowledge Grease being placed in nomination!<br /><br />Flamingcurmudgeon - It was one of the best of the season and I'm grateful I saw it as often as I did. I expected to enjoy it, but not to love it. The marketing, or lack thereof, was horrendous.<br /><br />Linda - I knew there was a special event type show I was forgetting. I guess, though, it will place Scott in line for another Best Actress Tony nomination. Wasn't the fall season spectacular?Kevin Dalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885446907718013966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054015418191023896.post-85488840499054636752010-04-22T17:34:46.413-04:002010-04-22T17:34:46.413-04:00I was reading this post just nodding my head in ag...I was reading this post just nodding my head in agreement with everything (well, I didn't get to see Brighton Beach Memoirs, but everything else). I hope all these shows are remembered for awards. And could there be a worse year to do away with the theatrical event category? Everyday Rapture would fit in that category as well.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15341231489185317489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054015418191023896.post-39136302502272993672010-04-21T22:06:19.027-04:002010-04-21T22:06:19.027-04:00I'm still flummoxed by the closing of RAGTIME....I'm still flummoxed by the closing of RAGTIME. One of the most outstanding, breathtaking productions one could hope for. I met one of the many producers and praised her for bringing it to Broadway and tried to get a reason for its closing. She said, "there just weren't enough people like you." And I thought, this woman should not be producing theatre if she thinks people will just COME to the show. How about some advanced publicity and better artwork! It enrages me.
