The theater industry’s pandemic-shortened season seems to have opened up the Grammy playing field for cast albums, as only two of the six just-announced nominees for the 2021 awards represent the usually-dominant Broadway.
The two Broadway cast albums included in today’s nominations for Best Musical Theater Album are David Byrne’s American Utopia on Broadway and Jagged Little Pill, the musical consisting of Alanis Morissette songs. Two London cast albums were nominated, as were two from Off Broadway.
Last year, all five nominees in the category were Broadway productions (Hadestown won), while the year before Broadway accounted for four of the five nominees, with TV’s Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert filling out the category (Broadway’s The Band’s Visit won). Previous years show a similar pro-Broadway pattern.

Dreamworks’ The Prince of Egypt has made its way to the Dominion Theatre, London, with the big numbers you remember from the film and the many challenges of putting things like the ten plagues and the parting of the sea on stage.
The two big numbers fans will remember, Deliver Us and When You Believe, are superbly done and won’t disappoint. They’re emotional, vocally impressive and have a big production feel. There are a few other really entertaining numbers dotted throughout the show, too. Sadly, these moments of brilliance are held together by an otherwise lacklustre production that just doesn’t grab the audience like it should. It’s all too inconsistent, jumping from brilliant to forgettable and back again.
The same can be said of the performances. Some are great and really engage with the audience. Most notably, Christine Allado’s Tzipporah is remarkable. She plays the...
