As a general note, I want to experiment this year with the news recaps. I'm not sure the current format is the best for them and best for the channel.
I'm not sure what form they'll take this year - whether it becomes more short form based or even live streamed but just expect some experimentation.

Random 2am thought: 3/4 of the Best Musical nominees at the 2017 Tony Awards have won Best New Musical at the Oliviers.
Groundhog Day in 2017
Come From Away in 2019
Dear Evan Hansen in 2020
If Comet wins next year, that will make it 4/4.
Get ready for "Every Musical Film Ranked by How Quickly the Main Character Touches Grass" coming January 2025

a screenshot from an interview from WhatsOnStage reads: Q: In the UK, the show is known for its pricing strategy of every seat being the same cost. Is that something you’re able to replicate in New York? A: We’re not replicating that in New York. We’re basically doing old-fashioned reduced-price previews. We want as many people to see the show at an affordable price before we open, and it’s essentially $20 off most seats, $10 off some. In the end, word of mouth is everything, and while the show has a very broad appeal, young audiences love it, so we’re hoping it’s the right thing to do. We’ll also have a lottery, probably biweekly, which is what we do in London, because people quite like to plan. And then after that, it’s dynamic pricing. In the end, it costs a lot of money to do a show on Broadway.
at which point is it appropriate to ask WHY the Broadway production of Operation Mincemeat will get a traditional pricing structure, presumably making it cheaper to see in NY than London most nights of the week?
Obligatory "Jonathan Bailey is very hot in Wicked" post
So excited for tonight's show! Will I see you there? Will I see you across the magic of the internet?

With a week to go until Wicked hits UK cinemas, I have collected some of my pre-release thoughts as I fear up to see my most anticipated movie of the year.

major outlets have GOT to find a better way of reviewing international talent because "newcomer Katie Brayben" in the role she won an Olivier Award for is condescending and dumb!
I'll keep the idea in my pocket in time for June 👀
I really want to start making more Broadway-centric content but it's hard when you're broke and live so far away 😭
