There is a Reddit post about a Spring Awakening production featuring a 15-year-old Melchior opposite a 21-year-old Wendla.
Let me say this plainly - A minor should not be cast opposite an adult in a way that requires them to play intimate scenes together. Ever.

After decades of white men somehow finding work in theatre, we have finally arrived at the crisis point: Kevin Lynch has encountered a room that was not immediately built around Kevin Lynch.

In what many considered a lackluster Broadway season, the broadcast actually did a pretty good job making the most of what it had. But there were still choices worth questioning. onstageblog.com/editorials/2…

Just to clarify, since 2000, only 3 times has a show has won Best Director of a Musical and not won Best Musical or Musical Revival.
John Rando - Urinetown
John Doyle - Sweeney Todd
Christopher Ashley - Come from Away
(And all 3 shows got ROBBED for that)

Utterly confused as to how Cats could win the awards it did and then not win Best Revival. 🤨

Another thought I had during the Tonys, don’t get me wrong. I love me some Rachel Zegler, but how could a tribute to A Chorus Line not have a single dancer on stage?

Dear Broadway powers that be, please don’t make me choose between the Warriors and Paddington.
I don’t think my heart could take it.

All I know is that next years Tonys is going to be a BLOODBATH.
Hope y’all are ready.

It would be hilarious to see Schmigadoon! sweep Book, Score, and Orchestrations only to have The Lost Boys win Best Musical.
