Just saying, I think Teal Wicks has a good shot for Featured Actress. She was the best part of the show when I saw it in La Mirada. I also hope they can get that tour in to "Broadway" shape. It feels like a really nice regional production or a first-rate Non-Equity tour, not a pre-Broadway, first-rate national tour. Constantine, Teal, and Deborah are great, but the sets and orchestrations are so tinny.
Betsy Woolfe has a lovely voice but barely registered for me in DROOD. I hope Jim Norton gets a nomination, at this point in the season. He carries the show effortlessly.
And it's pretty obvious that, as it did in London with the Oliviers, MATILDA will sweep the Tonys. It doesn't hurt that this is another dreary-looking year for new musicals.
