The Tony's are tonight and so far I haven't seen any threads for it, which is surprising considering le maymay musical Hamilton is nominated for 16 awards

Calm down there Miranda, don't you have to go bail out Puerto Rico?
>>
"Theater is the hot thing right now. There's Hamilton and nothing else."

John Mulaney made this joke last fall and it's still relevant, why won't the meme'ing around this fucking show die already.
>>
>>70764185
okay Mr. No Creative Interpretations Should Exist Ever in Art.

Miranda won a Pulitzer. You win... nothing!
>>
>>70764289
Miranda is a hack who thinks he is the second coming of Alexander Hamilton. Wouldn't surprise me if he goes full retard and gets into politics after this.
>>
>>70761972
>>>>/lgbt/

>>70764337
or maybe he's just a guy who wrote a wildly inventive show and you're just a bitter nobody who doesn't understand theatre.

Go to bed Miranda, you're still a hack

Hell yea. Kirk's music is great. Although he doesn't do much in making it. He's used the same handful of people to produce his shit since the 90s. Shaun Martin being one of them. Look him up on the youtubes.

>>70766597
Man, Coloring Book sounds like a black gospel album and you can definitely tell he grew up on Kirk Franklin. Him and Kanye seem to be getting back to their musical roots. I liked some of the stuff on both of those albums. Can't say I enjoyed all of it.

Have you seen the Nick TV show? It's even worse.

Here are my predictions:
Tony predictions, musicals only:
Best musical, book, score: hamilton
Best revival: color purple, but I want Spring Awakening to get it
Lead actor: Either Leslie Odom Jr. or Danny Burstein
Lead Actress: Cynthia Ervio
Featured Actor: Daveed Diggs
Featured Actress: renee elise goldsberry
Scenic design: idk she loves me probably
Costume design: shuffle along
Lighting: hamilton
Direction: spring awakening
Choreo: either ham or shuffle along
Orchestrations: idk she loves me maybe

CALLING IT NOW

HAMILTON SPLITS THE VOTE, BURSTEIN WINS BEST ACTOR
>>
>>70767859
I can see that vote being split for sure. In all the other multi Hamilton categories there was a clear winner.

Leslie vs Lin is gonna break them.
>>
>>70767859
Lin suxxx and everyone knows it
>>
>>70767851
>my feet hurt
>she's squeezing me too tight
>i wish i was at the library shitposting on 4chan
>>
So is Hamilton just that good or is everything else on Broadway just that bad?
>>
>>70767851
yeah she looks sufficiently uncomfortable in her situation
>>
>>70767891
Wait, do people actually want Lin for best actor? I thought that was just an obligatory nomination since he's the titular lead. He's a great writer but when it comes to actually performing he has nothing on Leslie.
>>
>>70767725
Write a hip hop musical about FDR and cast yourself as the lead. You're welcome.
>>
>>70767912
Hamilton's pretty fucking good but salty oldfags will try to tell you it's just >muh diversity hype.

Hamilton is that good. This was actually a pretty strong year. Shuffle Along and Bright Star are great. Waitress has great music if you like Sara Bareilles.

This. It's genuinely refreshing and entertaining but people are salty about how popular it's become and will nitpick the shit out of it.

What's you opinion on the fem songs, I loved everything but those.
>>
>>70767912
It's excellent, but not worth the assrape prices for tickets. I'm glad I saw it in previews last year. I also like Brian D'Arcy James better than what I've seen of Jonathan Groff/the new "style" for the George III.

I feel like broadway in general has turned into "wtf can we make a musical off now?" Shit like Shrek, Spongebob, and Spiderman shouldn't exist. I'm always welcome to a new original script. I'm just not familiar with a lot of the shows running right now besides Hamilton.

Waitress is underrated. The music really works as mainstream pop as well as narrative music. I listen to that shit all the time.

I mean, to be fair, that's kind of what Broadway and theater are anyway? It's just that now instead of only making musicals or plays based on other plays or books, we're making them off our new media: film and TV.

Besides, for every Shrek there is an Anastasia.
>>
>>70767912
Once you start laughing at how cheesy the premise is, it's really good. I refused to take it seriously for a long time because I thought the whole thing was retarded but after the initial what the fuck moment wore off I was surprised with how impressively put together the whole thing is.

Hamilton didn't win Best Scenic Design!

Yes, yes this will be great. Break those gender stereotypes and rake in that sweet diversity money.
Remember to write me a slam poem when you win your first award.
>>
>>70767912
a little bit of both. Hamilton is great but it's nothing like Sondheim tier or anything.

likewise Broadway suffers from a lack of original shows with original music in general which means the moderately good stuff gets overpraised

hamilton's most spectacular set piece was adding brick to a wall during intermission
that loss was not a surprise
>>
>>70768273
Get tickets now! There aren't many left for the rest of the run. I'd see it again but I can't get off work. It's a stunning show. Needs some tweaks on the villain and a little bit of tightening with Dimitri, but what they've done with the inspiration (animated film & bergman film) is gorgeous. One scene I can't get out of my head is this haunting lullaby sung by the Russian people as they're planning on fleeing the country, which includes a melody from the only animated film song not to make it to the musical (which sounds odd but it really worked).

Same here friend. The way they turn the narrator into Lee Harvey is one of the coolest moments in a musical imo.

I just want to see it.
And then I want to direct the film adaptation

Incest and southerners???

I wish they would have somehow found a way to put Congratulations back into the show because that verse is so much more poignant and well done in that context instead of being tacked onto The Reynold's Pamplet

Not making funny movies doesn't mean he isn't funny. Just he sold out to make money and is not getting great parts cause he is old.

Dude can still be funny as fuck if he wants to be.
>>
>>70768511
No. I prefer it because if the other person gets bored or doesn't like it I don't have to deal with their negative energy.

>>70768532
Lin should just let someone more polished do singing duties. He hasn't got the best voice.

>>70768492
That's the color purple. Get yo colored casts right anon.

>>70768553
And he hasn't been funny in years...

>>70768531
boy FUCK YOU
I've already started casting it

>>70768472
It'll probably be at least ok, they almost always are. I'm sure that Lilo & Stitch will still be the patrician Polynesian kino.

I love the guy but goddamn he needs to stop casting himself in shit.

apparently Lin's understudy for Hamilton's pretty fantastic.

I always feel bad for understudies since they often are just as talented as their leads. Like listen to this Angelica understudy she's fantastic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHi9jukDAL0
