That show reached people who never hear about musicals...it was like a Phantom of the Opera and I would expect it to win everything tonight.

My theatre kid D had to explain the whole concept to me.

 

[Trey]

That was a tremendous broadcast this year. From host to performances to speeches. Fantastic stuff.

 

[Redwes25]

Watched it with my wife who is a Hamilton fanatic at this point and thought it was pretty good award show (for how these things go). 

 

[Daywalker]

I have listened to several Hamilton songs.  I don't get it.  Nice enough.  Nothing that gives me the chills.

Kind of see it as being diversity and rap that white people can wrap their arms around.

 

[HellToupee]

Let's do this  . 2017 , post Hamilton hangover style

 

[HellToupee]

What is the difference between a featured actor/actress and a lead actor/actress?

 

[HellToupee]

Anna Kendrick , why hello my dear 

 

[HellToupee]

What is the difference between a featured actor/actress and a lead actor/actress?

featured is a major side character , not the lead

 

[HellToupee]

Damn Ben Platt is good

 

[Jules Winnfield]

featured is a amor side character , not the lead

Kind of like a supporting category in cinema?

 

[HellToupee]

Kind of like a supporting category in cinema?

In everyday usage, a 5-line role may be "supporting" but isn't usually called "featured." A "featured" role (unless the speaker is just exaggerating) usually means a part that somehow stands out from the ensemble and bit players. 

Originally, the Tony Awards were given to "Best Male (or Female) Star" and "Star" was defined as having billing above the title. Everybody else went into the "featured" category no matter how big the part. But over the years, the Tony committee has made so many exceptions, it's hard to say where a part will fall. From posts here, I get the sense that some consideration is given to how the producer defines a particular role.

 

[HellToupee]

surprised by Groundhog Day . Actually want to see this now

 

[Clown Car]

Watched a boot leg of dear Evan Hanson. It was wonderful. I miss nph as host.

Nope. 

Whatta loser.

I gotta hurry and finish one of my musicals before these idiots murder the medium for good & all. What a formless, witless collection of hackneyed, aspirational spew from this year's models.

 

[HellToupee]

Let’s do this. Love the Tony’s , only award show I really watch

 

[HellToupee]

[HellToupee]

I just heard it’s an 8 hour day to watch that, 3 hours, two hour break, 3 hours, can thatbhr right?

Wow didn’t know the length 

WHAT IS THE RUNNING TIME FOR THE PLAY?

Part One, 2 hours and 40 minutes (incl 20 min interval)

Part Two, 2 hours and 35 minutes (incl 20 min interval)

 We do recommend that you try to see both parts consecutively, but if seeing both Parts over consecutive performances does not work for you, you can choose to see Part One on a Wednesday matinee at 2pm or Thursday evening at 7.30pm and book Part Two on an alternative Wednesday evening at 7.30pm or Friday evening at 7.30pm at a later date.

So is every production eligible every year? Or just new ones? Didn’t Hamilton crush this thing two years ago? Why no more wins?
