Broadway: Andrew Lloyd Webber Snubbed by Tonys for “Bad Cinderella,” Bob Fosse’s “Dancin'” Closing After No Nominations

Share

The Tony Awards are the great leveler for marginal shows.

Without any nominations, Bob Fosse’s “Dancin'” will now close on May 14th.

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s really useless “Bad Cinderella” also received no nominations. ALW has received at least a couple of nominations in the past for his worst shows. But this hits rock bottom. Playing only to 65% capacity, “Bad Cinderella” will likely close soon.

Another current resident on The Great Light Way is “The Thanksgiving Play.” Catch it now because with no noms, and 79% capacity, this one is doomed. Also, “Pictures from Home” has run its course. The play starring Nathan Lane, Danny Burstein, and Zoe Wanamaker got nothing, and closed on Sunday.

Who might benefit from their Tony nominations? “Some Like it Hot” picked up the most nods of any show. It should win Best Musical. And while it’s been struggling, this could give it a boost. I hope so. Also, “Leopoldstadt” is already set to close on July 2nd. It will win Best Play. The Tom Stoppard play is the best of the season and must be seen.
