They explain that they chose featured actor in a musical since actor is the gender neutral profession for a performer and their performance is getting all the raves. Drama Desk Awards (which recognizes off-Broadway performances too) which announced nominations last week has gone gender neutral.
Rachel Berry Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 Dddd, Playbill accidentally posted the news and quickly deleted it before it was officially announced it was closing.

Gwendolyn Posted May 12, 2023 Author Posted May 12, 2023 I'm quite upset to be honest. I was looking forward to it but I stand with all strikers.
Stepfon Posted May 13, 2023 Posted May 13, 2023 Ugh, I hate this and especially for the first time nominees.
fridayteenage Posted May 13, 2023 Posted May 13, 2023 i don't like emmy thief comer but looks like her play's a hit. its first 2 full weeks averaged $156 ticket & $158 ticket, for a total of $987k & $973k. comparably, chastain's: $116 & $120, for $869k & $885k. so bigger theater but still making less.
Almodusa Posted May 13, 2023 Posted May 13, 2023 Ah damn I’m upset it’s not going to be televised. And love that Hadestown is going overseas! I loved it!
Lovett Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 I'm seeing Once on This Island tonight in London (Regent's Park Open Air Theatre), I can't wait! I don't actually know much about the show at all, so I'm going in pretty blind.

Yeah, I thought it was a joke at first Norma is technically in her 50s in the original film so it's not that far off from Nicole's actual age. Hopefully they can hag her up well.
fridayteenage Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 well, patti lupone was 44 when she originated the musical role. nicole is 44.
