I'm not sure. So far only one person with a non-US accent so I doubt it. The global people in this role do things a bit different. I understood it more when they said it was an all-day training--if we went to 5pm east coast. But if it ends at 2pm east coast why can't we start later???

No doubt someone has a reason. Probably not a good reason, but a reason.

Yeah, 9-2 is how our new employee orientation is scheduled, but everyone is here in person! (They bring people in for it, if they aren't going to be working out of this office.)

So Hamilton got nominated for 16 Tonys. I think, with a skim of the list, that's every Tony it was eligible for, plus some twice. (Leading Actor, Featured Actor.)

I still have not listened to Hamilton and yet I'm all, yeah, that's as it should be.

I saw that, Dana. How will they choose a leading actor or featured actor?

Also, it could have been nominated for sound design, but they took away that category rather inexplicably.

Oh, yeah, the sound design thing is bullshit.

I think, based on not having seen it, I would go for Leslie Odom Jr. as lead. He's certainly a better singer than LMM, and he's got a couple of fabulous solo songs.

Featured actor, though -- I think it would be awesome to give it to Daveed. Dual role, rap-heavy, Broadway debut. But George Washington has some parts in the score that grab me by the heart.

Edit: Oh, and Groff was nominated too. Hmm. I'd still go for Daveed.

That's bullshit, meara. How do they expect you to retain 6 hours of training starting at 6am? Wasn't there some study about not expecting anyone to functionally brain before 10am or something? I dunno but I feel like I read about it here at b.org.

To some people, the appearance of being busy and productive are better than efficient use of resources.

I have an extra hour tonight, because I didn't realize my rehearsal was at 8, not 7. I think I will go get a manicure. What color should I go for?
