Does anyone else kind of miss 'Second of the second' at the start of One Day? I know 'February 2nd' is probably how Americans would say it, but it loses the time-related pun on 2nd/seconds.
....
I'm reading too much into this, aren't I?

I'm reading too much into this, aren't I? I don't really remember it at the start of One Day, but I also did get the Second of the Second pun. The album is brilliant (and I'm just being picky here) but the only things I miss from the Old Vic is during Day One/Two/maybe Three is Phil's little "Think I'm gonna lose it altogether if one more person talks about the weather..." and of course Ned's insurance jingle which I would've thought they put in - unless those two little things have been cut from Broadway, even though the latter is repeated in later songs (One Day and Night Will Come). |

No, you're right, it wasn't One Day - it's the begginning of Rita's little bit about Phil in her diary: 'Second of the second, GHD in Punx. PA'. |

Andie MacDowell was at the performance last Friday. I wonder if Bill Murray will be attending at some point also? (Hopefully it won't close before then!)

I have nothing constructive to add except I am loving the Cast Recording and could happily live inside it for a bit.

With the Drama Desk Awards about to be announced, I imagine it will do well in this one in terms of nominations. Obviously whenever I say that it doesn't happen, but lets see  |

Seriously nothing for set, costume, choreo, lighting, direction?!? Aside from all that which is still disappointing, I am MAJORLY surprised and a little annoyed that Chris Nightingale didn't get a nomination for his incredible orchestrations. Something's wrong there! At least they're not Dear Evan Hansen - I believe that received absolutely no nominations according to BroadwayWorld? And I don't know whether it's a BroadwayWorld type or what, but they've listed Sweeney Todd as a nominee for Best Sound Design of a Play (Matt Stine). www.broadwayworld.com/article/Breaking-HELLO-DOLLY-ANASTASIA-COME-FROM-AWAY-Lead-the-Pack-in-Drama-Desk-Awards-Nominations-20170427 |

Dear Evan Hansen was eligible last year (due to it's Off Broadway run), therefore making it ineligible this year. The Drama Desk nominations were really bizarre. I think that the Outer Critics Circle Award nominations made more sense IMO. |

Putting both sets of nominations side by side, I'm in agreement with you there! |

I imagine come Tony Awards the only safe bet is Andy Karl for Best Actor, which if Ben Platt doesn't win, he seems like the next in line to win.

Oh how I worried about Andy Karl last summer on stage in London with all those clothes on ...
(cue Ryan with an inappropriate comment)
... looks like Andy Karl needs that fur coat in that NY weather!

Is it just me who thinks that was the most random bit of the show to perform on TV?

I think they wanted something big, exciting and happy.

I had no interest in seeing this show last year but now after watching the trailer, I would like to give it a go should it return to London! Looks like fun!

A great episode on TheatreTalk with Danny Rubin, Andy Karl and Matthew Warchus (filmed during previews, I believe before Andy tore his ACL).
Of course it would have been great if Tim Minchin was there also, and I would've thought they'd talk to Matthew a bit about The Old Vic. Nonetheless, still a good discussion about this incredible show.
