I've seen Parade three times - the original production, which was the best, the underdone Rob Ashford version, and a rip-off of the Ashford version. I just don't like the show at all, but at least the Hal Prince production was interestingly staged. For me, the score is declamatory rather than coming from the characters way of speaking, book-wise.

Remember when musicals had intricate sets?

The original Into the Woods had a great set.

It isn't really fair to judge the scenery from the Tony's. I believe the producers of the nominated shows have to pay for the sets for the Tony awards.

There wasn’t much of a set for the Encores production either

But they keep on doing it.

It's why Into the Woods isn't doing well on the road - it's an Encores production, which isn't really a production. Road audiences feel gypped - that's the word.

I love PARADE but when did Ben Platt start singing like Teresa Brewer?

It's always been that way, at least since Dear Evan Hanson.

Did this start at five?

Yes, and is scheduled to go until 8:00 pm (on the left coast). Then, it'll repeat as soon as it's done.

I watched the pre-show on Pluto but will watch the ceremony proper another time.

They overcame the lack of writing by showing many video clips of the technical process.

When Platt was sixteen or seventeen and did the Kritzerland show - he sounded nothing like what he sounds like know - he's so mannered and the vibrato is embarrassing. Not for me, I'm afraid, and then Lucille comes on and they sing as loud as they can at each other.

The Lifetime Achievement Awards for Joel Grey and especially John Kander were quite moving, I thought.

Thanks for the great photo, DR vixmom. So glad you two could connect.

I HATE the audience.

John and Joel don't even get to say "thank you"?

bk · « **Reply #286 on:** June 11, 2023, 06:41:39 PM »

So we're not even at two hours yet?

bk · « **Reply #287 on:** June 11, 2023, 06:41:57 PM »

Because they probably have another forty minutes of commercials to get in.

Best book of a musical: Kimberly Akimbo

Let me get this straight - they give best book of a musical on the main awards but NOT the score??? Are they NUTS?

Yes.
They have the wrong priorities.
