No nomination for our Bran :-(
Gor "Chicago" has been on Broadway for almost 20 years. She wasn't getting a nod.
If she gets cast in "The Wiz" revival then she has all the chances in the world.
what the age of Chicago musical has to do with Bran being nominated?
The category are best performances, so technically anyone can be nominated, whatever the show is

The Tony Awards are notoriously political concerning nominations. They mostly are only interested in the newer plays & musicals. Advertisement and promo and all that jazz. To generate revenue. The older productions get paid dust.
So yes, if Bran was cast in a newer production her chances of a nomination would skyrocket.
Is that the Tijbor person?
yes real lol

Well I don't know about ineligible, but Bran said a whole back that she either wouldn't or couldn't be nominated. She told the group of black politicians that came to see Chicago.

Really? Why, though?
Maybe it's got something to do with her being a professional singer?
Dunno
Sounds like they have tough rules
Didn't she just join the cast last year? :uhh:
I would love to see Brandy back on Broadway, but NOT in the The Wiz. So glad she stopped talking about that.
I can definitely see her in some other revival, though.
I think with Chicago being more of a guest role, she couldn't be nominated. I never expected it.
I found this info on BroadwayWorld.com
Brandy was considered a "replacement role" so that rendered her ineligible. Explanation as to why:
Quote
The reason it would have to be different for replacement roles is that the broader voting membership knows there are a limited number of new shows and revivals to see each year that will be eligible. I agree it is an issue that voters don't see everything, but at lest they know what is eligible and can plan accordingly.
With established shows and replacement roles, unless you have a defined period for voters to see the nominated performances, nobody would know what to see. There are just too many potential performances that would be eligible for this to work.
How many times would voters have to see the same shows to ensure they caught the performances that might be nominated in April? That would be very expensive for producers also, because they would essentially have to open up a new block of tickets for voters with each cast change. If you have a viewing period that follows the nominations, then you limit the shows voters have to see to only a few and they would only have to see them once in that calendar year.
