Does Grease have a chance at winning anything tonight?
>>70768918
Grease Live? No.
>>70768938
Damn. I like Grease
>>70768908
She's so fucking good
>>70768918
What? No.
is color purple musical good? i think i read the book for a class back in highschool but i don't remember anything about it. the music sounds gud.
Law and Order keeps so many actors afloat as they need something like 20 new actors for each episode.
The fuck is on this singer's head?
FLAWLESS SENPAI

>>70768871

All those things are either untrue or a minor inconvenience.
>>70768859
right: score, feat actor & feat actress, lighting, scenic design
wrong: direction, orchestrations (both hamilton)

I've seen her 4 times on the West End.
went to see a Jason Robert Brown revue she performed in. She literally cried a perfect tear during a sad song, BOTH performances at the EXACT same time.
She's some kind of musical machine.
Did anyone else watch Driving Miss Daisy with Angela and James? It was recorded live and it's pretty good.
>>70768980
I enjoyed it. I saw it on its first run by myself. So many feels.

Yes. It's one of the best positions for mics.
I don't watch theater but I am amazed how many movie actors are nominated in this show
>Jessica Lange
I hope the Tony isn't made ofknotty pine
Is this still on? Is there a working stream?
>>70769206
theatre is where they go to *actually* act. movies are child's play.
>>70769147
Fun fact : Nathan Lane played an openly gay man in 'The Birdcage' alongside Robin Williams.
Is Lupita as much of a meme in theater as she is in film?
>>70769247
Great movie. It's like a time capsule of Miami.

EMILIOOOOO
>>70769186
Because the performers move their heads around so much during a musical, even without dancing, you can't really put it anywhere else, since the sound that is picked up will be uneven depending on the head position relative to the body.
>hate niggers and faggots
>love broadway
this is true suffering
>>70769247
and The Birdcage is based on La Cage Aux Folles, which is a movie that was turned into a 10/10 musical

Scamming Spring Awakening cast!
Is Hair the musical about the fat bitch?
Spring Awakening was insufficiently mic'd.
I would genocide this board if it guaranteed me tickets to Hamilton, to be honest.

Scamming? How, because of Kickstarter?
>>70769482

>>70769504
Same. Also I love Streep so much.
What is the best musical?
>>70769570
of all time?
>>70769531
Yeah. The producer was making it sound like they needed the Kickstarter funds to be on the Tony's--but the performance was locked in weeks ago. The producer just wants to get his money back, since it costs hundreds of thousands to perform on the show.
>>70769370
Because I have patrician tastes, I appreciate technical excellence in performance. I also enjoy opera immensely. But Broadway gets new and experimental works that push creative boundaries.
I also love classic literature, and all the ancient Greeks and Romans were faggots. And niggers are fucking fantastic at singing and dancing.
>>70769570
West Side Story
daliy reminder that broadway theater is one of the least democratic art forms in the world that is only appreciated by the few richest of the world and a few measly lotteries will never fix that

That's why I don't give a single fuck about cast and cry bitching about bootlegs. People wouldn't even be watching them if traveling/lodging/tickets wasn't mad expensive.
Wasn't this all over YouTube why would they waste time airing this?

I meant crew what the fuck just happened in my brain
>>70769724
>People wouldn't even be watching them if traveling/lodging/tickets wasn't mad expensive.
Eh I'd still watch them. Because there's now way you could possibly go and see every new cast, every new actor, etc.
>>70769735
who cares
>>70769749
>imagefag calling other people cancer
>>70769731
To promote Corden's shitty late night show
>>70769731
they probably cut bits of the Hamilton performance because of the shooting and replaced it with this gigantic waste of time.
Thank god for this like 8 minute long segment, so they can cut short people's speeches later <3
so are they setting up the next number in the background? is that why they played that car thing so long?
>>70769708
>>70769731
Some people didn't get their acceptance speeches televised but THANK GOD we got to watch this "live"
>>70769811
not worth tbbqh
Damn it Frank you've got four!
The guy from dumb and dumber should've won
>>70769791
They didn't cut any part of the performance, they're just removing the prop muskets.
Frank stop making me sad and go sit down Jesus.
>He could die any single night, while performing, with high chances.

Poor frank he's gonna get cut short

The gay bar killing spree probably hit the theater community the hardest
F-Frank. Don't you make me cry!
For real tho, how does a deaf girl perform in a play?
How are you performing, Spring Awakening?? You didn't meet the goal
>>70769933
i get that you're trying to make a snarky joke but you are right in a way that honestly isn't very amusing. gay people like theater and don't like being targeted by terrorists
>>70769978
we'll find out!
THIS PERFORMANCE IS A SCAM
top kek who was that edgy douche
This is guaranteed to get a standing ovation isn't it?

Never seen Spring Awakening. It's about teenagers fucking or something isn't it?
how is she so based?
>>70770191
It's about teen angst.
>>70770191
>>70770199
It's about sexually repressed teenagers in late 1800s Germany.

>>70770399
Any musical ever? Probably something like West Side Story, Into the Woods, or Les Miserables. Popular and accessible.
>>70770399
depends on what you are interested in! Book of Mormon is pretty great in my opinion.
>>70770444
>On Your Feet! is a jukebox musical based on the lives and music of husband and wife Emilio Estefan and Gloria Estefan.
My first musical should be about the life of the Estefan's? I'm skeptical
>>70770399
Just go with the standard entry level musicals. Wicked, Phantom, Lion King. Get into the more patrician stuff later.
C'moooon Crucible!
>>70770538
it's simple, catchy and short. Not a bad entry imho but obviously if you want something more substantial go for Les Mis or something.
>>70770531
I watched Hugh Jackman and Russel Crowe do Les Miserables. I'm not counting it because it was in movie form
>>70770399
what state do you live in? we can look up if there are any decent theaters or opera houses that put on musicals and tell you what looks good

Sexually repressed in the sense that they're societally repressed. Pretty much everyone gets some though. The entire point of the show is that they all wanna fuck each other and be free but the adults are dumbasses who won't let them.
>>70770399
I honestly think Les Miserables and Jesus Christ Superstar are the most perfect musicals in terms of well-roundedness. They're great but not the greatest musicals but they're high-tier. You want to get into the GOAT Sondheim afterwards, stay away from Andrew Lloyd Webber, he's a hack.
Speaking of The Crucible, you should check out the one available on Digital Theatre if you haven't already.

The only people who get some are Wendla and Melchior, Hanschen and Ernst, Martha and Ilse were sexually abused by their fathers and also it's implied Ilse was raped. So basically less than half the cast

We can't watch it on demand here.
HamilTON!
>>70770740
No. Les Miserables is bad for a first timer because they stick with the full-singing, even when it would make more sense to use dialogue. So someone new to musicals might think all shows are like that and be put off.
God that awful recitative/Valjean's confession, ugh.

Rapping on Broadway is like listening to an opera singer do pop music or a classical musician try and play jazz.
I'd rather see Chance the Rapper or Action Bronson do Hamilton.
>Lafayette trying to be DMX
They're not using prop muskets but they still pantomime it
>>70771111
Chance the Rapper is actually going to be on the Hamilton mixtape coming out.
this is just an "intelligent" epic battles of history lmao it's not impressive
>>70770995
lol I moved out of Lawrence 4 years ago. it's still my hometown tho
>>70771158
>yfw they think fucking muskets would be offensive because of Orlando
>hey anon Hamilton is really good
I almost bought that
>>70771111
Neither of them would suck LMM's cock though, so they wouldn't get cast.
On a totally unrelated note, Jonathan Groff and LMM shared a dressing room at Hamilton.
>>70770937
What do you mean? You can buy from Digital Theatre internationally! I'm in the US.
>>70771162
Then it looks like my opinion is correct. They can't sell this shit to black people. It's too white in its current form. Which is surprising considering how many black people are in it.

Aww, Leslie, being shoved in the corner. He really pissed Lin off with that royalty talk

Oh SHIT
People are paying 5 grand a ticket for this?
>>70771304
>implying you could afford to see Hamilton
lmao
God dammit that performance didn't represent the musical at all
>>70771356
How much is it?
fuck can someone upload the hamilton performance when its done
>>70771253
Have you seen ticket prices for it? Black people can't afford it. And I'm not being a /pol/ poster, just realistically comparing average incomes, etc. But they operate a lottery and claim it's all fair, even though their audiences make Harvard look diverse
>>70771368
Or maybe it represented it too much...
>>70771368
it was for the faithful who already knew the musical inside and out.
I mean they already did Alexander Hamilton at the Grammys...
Oh hey, it's Smee from Peter Pan Live!
>>70771386
800 dollarinos for a shitty seat
>>70771388
as a person who hasn't watched the performance, seen the show, or heard the cast album, it's absolute shit
>>70771300
I'm not watching, are they actually doing only Yorktown? What the fuck why don't they do Wait For It or Non Stop?
The dude presenter looks like Pau Gasol

>>70771326
>He really pissed Lin off with that royalty talk
What?
Claire Danes was great in Stardust
>>70771443
those are both the worst tracks in the entire show smdh

This. No others are even close.
>>70771487
im sure itll be up on youtube. you also might try checking a west coast stream?
>>70771443
>Wait For It
Leslie Odom pissed off the producers and Lin so no chance in hell was he getting featured like that.
>>70771386
Hundreds of dollars for a single ticket if you're lucky... over a grand when tickets are more in demand. After the Tony win they'll be more in demand. Demand will probably go down a little bit in July after Lin and more of the original cast leave
>>70771459
Not worth 5 grand.
>>70771525
>wait for it
>bad
What the fuck is wrong with you?
>>70771541
...go on...
>>70771525
no way yorktown is one of my favorites
Will Hamilton change theater at all or will it just be a random fluke in the overall history?
Common called it one of the greatest works of art in American history right before they performed...
>>70771530
that's another 3 hours man :(
This is what hamilton offers to the viewer?
this is why people are going crazy?
my god, you people could pay hundreds of thousands for 'art' made out of shit.
>>70771558
nothing is? That's an inflated price due to scalpers. It's definitely worth the usual $60 they're actually priced at though.
>>70771541
>>70771326
Wait what? I need details someone fill me in on this shit
>>70771419

>calling a play "The Humans"
What a retarded title
>>70771491
>>70771560
>>70771611
Generally, before a show is staged in full they workshop it. The actors who do the workshop are meant to get a share of the royalties. But the Hamilton producers basically found a loophole and screwed the cast out of these royalties.
Odom was basically the only member of the cast who said anything public about how wrong it was. Since he did that he's basically been downplayed in marketing, public events, etc.
>>70771576
Yeah probably, at the very least it will spawn poor imitations.
>>70771604
Shh, you already samefagged enough.
>>70771608
Sure but you'll never get a ticket for that.
>>70771604
you don't know shit about theatre, son.
>>70771630
yeah his clipping stuff is absolutely amazing, i figured itd be more relevant to link his stuff from hamilton
>>70771664
you mean that was outstanding, or "goat" level?
>>70771630
Hipsters love clipping.
>>70771653
hopefully odom'll win to screw over lin then
>>70771664
He doesn't have to know anything about theater to recognize a shit when its a shit.
>>70771653
Hmm, I say basically way too much.
>>70771630
Clipping is garbage, stop posting this.
>>70771653
Wow that's pretty fucked up. You'd think a show generating this much cash would have no problems with forking up royalties like that.
>fat performers
Absolutely disgusting
>>70771653
>The actors who do the workshop are meant to get a share of the royalties
this has only been true since A Chorus Line, and even then only in some cases
>>70771653
But all the actors were in on the legal battle?

Is it actually called "Waitress"?
>>70771653
I'm rooting for him ten times more now just because I want to see if Lin still looks like a proud papa when he accepts the award.

It's about a "middle class" white family having Thanksgiving dinner in Chinatown.
And one the daughters is gay.

She's playing a pregnant girl.
>>70771747
>>70771710
isn't it past your bedtimes?
>>70771797
No it's called "Server", it's very politically correct.
Sara Bareilles would be attractive if she got a nose job
>>70771653
>The actors who do the workshop are meant to get a share of the royalties
They're not "meant" to, it is just sometimes included in contracts. The Hamilton workshop actors couldn't reach an agreement, but agreed to a contract that allowed them first refusal of roles, but not royalties.
>>70771753
Yeah - it's especially galling as Lin's dad gets a percentage of the profits but the cast were going to get nothing (the producers caved once they started getting the bad press)
>>70771835
she kind of gives me this lesbo vibe tho
This is actually nice, could've used less of the pie conceit.
>>70771835
she is pure sex as she is
Is oversinging a staple of musicals?
Jewnose Streisand incoming.
Up next : MORE HAMILTON UP IN YO FACE

>>70771893
It's a staple of all contemporary music
>>70771893

>>70771855
>Lin's dad gets a percentage of the profits
What? This Broadway cash politics shit is too over my head.
Who the fuck watches the Tony Awards that isn't gay? No wonder you kids are angry and cynical all the time. You're frustrated closet fags.

TRUMP 2016
>>70771995
How recent is what?
>>70771852
I acknowledge the actors were stupid, they agreed to a non-Equity "lab" rather than a "workshop" - workshops always fall under Equity rules that gives the royalties, under the system that came about after A Chorus Line. So literally all the producers did was to avoid calling it a workshop. It's the gray area over how forthright they were over not sharing royalties that ended up with them having to fork them over to the cast.
>>70771653
How recent is this?
DOES ANYONE HAVE A WORKING STREAM
Yeah we needed some Trump jokes...
>>70772027
So the producers weren't just being fabulously progressive?
This is supposed to end in 12 minutes. How many awards left? Three?
is that really trump?
>>70771961
Straight female here. We love our theater just as much as the gays.
Trumpolice will be formed and you know it.
Jesus, they still haven't put Chicago out of its misery?
>>70772121
yes
>>70772121
yeah. you didn't know he's a tony winner?
>>70771979
It's not greedy though, as they earn it as they help develop the show. As in they create lines, or movements, etc that then become part of the intellectual property of the show. Since they created a part of the show that will then be used on and on, they deserve to share in the money that makes.
And to be clear, we're talking about one percent of the gross, shared amongst all the workshop actors. That's what the producers were fighting against paying.
>>70772039
How do you mean? The workshop royalties have been since A Chorus Line when Michael Bennet paid out of his share to the actors whose stories made up the show.
This whole dispute with Hamilton was about 5 months-ish ago, resolved in April.

He's always there.

Tumblr won't be happy that SA didn't win. Especially after they paid for them to do their performance tonight, hahaha
>Getting Oprah to come to the Tonys and not giving her show an award.
This was an easy call.
Cynthia should still win on her own though. Fingers crossed.
>>70772287
tumblr doesn't care about disability
>>70772162
>the gays
For once I'm not doubting that a straight girl is on 4chan
>>70772319
But they do love their gay boys and that cast was packed with them. It was their new Newsies.
Nooo don't remind me of my own mortality, Tony Awards

My bad bruh. "Cis female here. We enjoy theater just as much as all the other groups of equally important people such as homosexuals, transgender individuals, genderqueer individuals, atheists, and furries."
Feel better?
>David Bowie
Still too soon.
This entire show would've been much improved with a Dames at Sea performance. It should've at least been nominated for Revival.

DID THE GUY WHO PLAYED HAMILTON IN HAMILTON LOSE BEST ACTOR TO SOMEONE ELSE IN HAMILTON?
>>70772598
Fucking around on a fire escape and fell.
>>70772435
Fuckin A. Leslie should've got a best supporting nomination.
>>70772631
Because Lin is kind of a shitty performer and Leslie is really fucking good
Lin looks pretty proud papa to me.
>>70772584
Mel Gibson
>>70772609
Bruh why are you such a h8r? I'm trying to accommodate you. Tell me your pronouns so I can respect you.
>>70772631
THE GUY WHO W R O T E HAMILTON IN HAMILTON AND THEN PLAYED HAMILTON IN HAMILTON LOST TO SOMEONE ELSE IN HAMILTON
>>70772631
AND IT'S A GOOD THING BECAUSE THE GUY WHO WON IS KING OF THE CASTLE
>>70772631
Yes, because Leslie Odom, Jr. is a better actor.
>>70772477
I would call it Moot: the musical, it would be like Hamilton, with Hiro being Burr
>>70772631
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Homie can talk shit all he wants now with a Tony on his mantle. He deserved it and I'm proud.
>hamilton fires blanks
THANK FUCKING GOD!!!!
>>70772696
Perfect. Would Michael Cera play moot?
Was there any doubt that the color purple would win?
Is this the only nomination Hamilton hasn't won so far?
Anyone noticed that Lin's face onstage whenever he isn't singing is really stupid? Like his "I have emotions" face looks really stupid. Watch any of the clips of the show when he isn't singing and his face looks highschooler-tier whenever he's silent.

>>70772750

Called it. Cynthia for the win.
The best actor in Hamilton should be Hamilton, yes? Will they switch roles now?

glad this fucker won the tony
You fuckers better be blasting Wait For It in celebration
>>70772758
He's always "on" which I find to be the most annoying thing about him, nothing about him ever seems natural. Which is also why he didn't deserve to win Best Actor
>>70772846
This
Just got off from work. Live stream fucking where?
>>70772804
Lin's nice but when he isn't rap-singing he just stands there looking goofy and confused. Plus I feel like he can't sing and move at the same time?
>>70772758
LMM is a goofy looking fucker in general.

True. It worked for him when he was on House though.

Nowhere and you've missed most of it already so what's the point now?
>>70772900
Hamilton.
Is this even a question?
>he threw away his shot

Hamilton didn't even win best actor
This next presenter is like butter
why is barbara streisand dressed like david bowie
>>70772900
Are you serious? Hamilton. This is the Hamilton awards now.
>>70772946
Betting Lin uses this line in either Best Musical speech or in press afterwards to joke about losing out to Leslie

And if the gossip is true, Liza was campaigning against him because he told a story about how she was high when he met her. So he really beat the odds.
>>70773277
Lin is doing it in London in 2017. It's all set.
>>70773221
The oscars are just for movies that show within a certain timeframe in one of like, 10 movie theaters in LA
the only reason the tonys seem narrow is that it's relatively difficult to reproduce theater on a large scale
>>70773277
I wish they would go on tour.
rip in pee lord andrew lloyd webber
>>70773323
Wow I could never be in theatre because all the actors turn out to be either petty attention whores or manic attention whores sooner or later don't they

Do plays get archived in the Library of Congress?
>>70773393
I already watched the bootleg, but it's not the same as watching it live man
>>70773488
It's even better.
>>70773383
No sooner or later, if you're not an attention whore they you become an actor. Otherwise there's no reason for you to deal with the crap that comes with theatre.
>>70773455
They're archived at the Performing Arts Library in NY, but you have to have a valid academic reason to be able to watch them, such as being an actor studying a role, etc.
