And there, I thought that "Mean Girls" had opened last season!
The nominations for the 2019 Tony Awards were announced Tuesday morning and instead of the usual Celebration of Theater atmosphere, we were treated to a series of catty sniffs and wrist slaps.
The shocks were so numerous that Gayle King, the organizer of the event, became fierce and asked actors Bebe Neuwirth and Brandon Victor Dixon what they thought of "To Kill a Mockingbird" and of "Network" – two major contenders – left out. Play category. As Oprah would say, "GAYLE!"
The exclusion of "Mockingbird" from the front row is the cruelest page from Tony's reading book. The drama of Aaron Sorkin, which was due to win before 8:30, has also managed to cash a total of nine nods including the actor (Jeff Daniels), the star actor (Gideon Glick) and the star actress (Celia Keenan-Bolger)
The most likely winner of the best game is now the British import "The Ferryman".
Glenda Jackson, the legend of the British scene who won the best actress award in a play last year, was not recognized for her lead role in "King Lear". The only name for this production was Ruth Wilson for Featured Actress. The revival of a theatrical run now lies between "The Waverly Gallery" and "Torch Song", both closed for several months, and another icon, Elaine May, should return home with the trophy of the best actress in a play.
Nathan Lane, another winner last year, was also not selected for her role in Taylor's new play titled "Gary: the sequel to Titus Andronicus", hailed by the best actress and star actress ( Kristine Nielsen and Julie White). .
On the war trail, the committee then decided that most of the fall season had never occurred: "Head Over Heels", "Straight White Men", "Gettin & # 39" "The Band Back Together", "The Nap", "American Son", "Lifespan of a fact" and more particularly, "Pretty Woman: The Musical", the only show in progress, received no nomination.
The situation is not much better for the troubled giant "King Kong", with $ 35 million, which has received only nods for Set, Lights, Sound and a special prize for his monkey. I can not exactly slap them on the big top. The musical comedy for teens "Be More Chill" was greeted by the score of Joe Iconis, but the committee has by far preferred the program of the season, "The Prom", on the theme of high school, which was rewarded at seven times, including Best Musical.
The best renaissance of a musical race has become a little clearer: the revisionist director Daniel Fish "Oklahoma!" Has received 11 nominations, while the standard "Kiss Me Kate" has received only four. But a win for the controversial Rodgers and Hammerstein show is not a certainty: the 48-member Tony Committee is not the most revealing sample of Tony's around 800 voters in the country.
Beetlejuice is one of the shows that jokes today with a laugh. When it opened, the series was critically criticized when it opened last week, but is now nominated for the Best Music Award, as is "Not Proud: Life Temptations. His stellar featured actor, Jeremy Pope, also nodded in the Best Actor category for the "Choir Boy" play. He will be opposed to Daniels, Bryan Cranston ("Network"), Paddy Considine ("The Ferryman") and Adam Driver ("Burn This").
Joining "The Prom", "Beetlejuice" and "Is not Too Proud" is the musical "Hadestown", which did not receive a single nomination at the British Olivier Awards in April, but led the Tonys squad with 14 times . It is a close battle against the more traditional comedy "Tootsie" (11), which includes the great actors Santino Fontana, Sarah Stiles and Andy Grotelueschen.
The Burn Book is reopened when the Tony Awards aired on June 9 on CBS.
