Tony Awards 2026 - The Winners (and My Thoughts)

It's been two weeks since the 79th Tony Awards! And so I thought I would share some of my thoughts as well as reveal how well I did in my predictions. 

I thought P!nk did a great job hosting the Tony Awards. The main requirement in my mind is love and respect for theater and she definitely had it in spades. She was also game for anything and willing to embrace the camp, another thing a good host (no matter the award show) needs to do. Bravo to her and while there were a few hiccups here or there, I think she'll only get better as a host. 

The performances were great, in my opinion. I enjoyed them all but the real standouts to me were Cats: The Jellicle Ball, Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show, and The Lost Boys. I had expected Titanique to really blow the roof off Radio City but it seems like some technical difficulties prevented that. 

(The sound was weird throughout the show. For whatever reason, there was an echo whenever the presenters were talking into the microphones. It just wasn't as good as it was in the past and hopefully the producers will fix that for the future). 

Tony Nominations 2026

The Tony Awards are upon us! 

I am so excited for this year's show. I can't wait to see P!nk host. I think she's going to be amazing and I can't believe I never thought about her hosting before. 

Anyway, before we get to the show, I would like to make some predictions. Have I seen the shows nominated? No. Have I seen reviews and videos about them? Yes. Does that qualify me to make predictions? 

Well, since it's my blog, I say yes. 

You can check out my predictions under the cut. I will only be focusing on musicals and not straight plays. 

Suffs the Musical: Finish the Fight

Suffs the Musical will be airing on PBS' Great Performances today, May 8th, at 9 PM EDT. Please check your local listings to confirm the time it airs in your part of the country. 

Suffs the Musical follows the fight to get the 19th Amendment ratified, paving the way for women to vote. However, it comes with many struggles - some external, some internal - and the Suffs have to find the strength to Keep Marching on. 

If you want to read my review of the musical, you can find it here. 

I hope you all tune in and enjoy this amazing musical! 

Hallmark Christmas Movie Round Up: 2025 Edition

Another Christmas has come and gone – which means a whole new batch of Hallmark Christmas/Holiday movies have joined the channel’s ever-growing catalogue. I didn’t watch them all but I did watch a handful of them, so I’m going to quickly recap/review them as we hit the nine month mark to Christmas 2026.

As a warning, there may be SPOILERS under the cut.

“& Juliet”: An Upbeat Retelling of a Tragedy

I got introduced to & Juliet back during the pandemic when Spotify placed some songs from the Original London recording on my Weekly Discover list. Intrigued by this jukebox musical, I looked into it and thought it was an interesting concept.

When the pandemic began to ease and theater returned, & Juliet stormed into North America, starting in Toronto. It then came to Broadway and still runs today.

Knowing how much I love Broadway, my aunt offered to get me tickets to a show for my birthday. Her only request was that it not be something sad. Since & Juliet was on my list of shows to see and I knew it wasn’t sad, I asked to see that one.

So we went to a matinee on the second Saturday of May and now I’m going to tell you what I thought!

I’ve the got the eye of the SPOILERS!

OUAT Recaps: A Decision!

And I would like to thank all five people who voted in my tumblr poll for helping me make it.

Last month, I wrote about how I never finished my recaps for Once Upon a Time and how I wanted to do that. But I had faced a dilemma when I realized that in addition to never finishing the recaps for season 7, I also had never finished recapping season 6. With a planned rewatch already in the works, I debated whether to start by finishing season 6 first, finishing season 7 first or just continue with season 1 and wait until I caught up to 6 and 7.

So I decided to post the aforementioned poll and see if anyone on tumblr had an opinion.

And it was a unanimous one:

Finish recapping season 6, then finish 7 and go back to recapping seasons 1, 2 and 3A.

Which is exactly what I’m planning to do.

I already went back to see the last recap I did for season 6. It was for Episode 17 (“Awake”), meaning I would need to pick up with Episode 18 (“Where Bluebirds Fly”) and go from there, including the musical episode.

I’ll get on that right away.

See you soon with a new recap! 

Once Upon a Time: Return of the Recaps

I know, I know. The show ended almost seven years ago. But I never finished my recaps for Season 7. I got behind when it was airing live and then I struggled watching it on Hulu in the days before I got my Roku. So I never really got back to my recaps.

And I really do want to finish them.

I also have been meaning to do a rewatch for some time now, especially since I’m writing a fanfiction series that plays with how different things could’ve been if Robin Hood had been present in the series from the beginning. So I need to remind myself of what really happened so I can then figure out my next plot points.

But I wanted to finish the show first, get the recaps finished before I went back and recapped the seasons I hadn’t done.

However, I was looking for something that happened in an episode in Season 6 for another reason. So I figured I would just check out my recap of the episode…and realized I didn’t have one.

I never finished my recaps for Season 6.
