Laura Benanti and Jason Jones have been announced as the Lucille Lortel Awards hosts. It’s too bad they don’t livestream the show, as I would LOVE to see what kind of zingers Benanti will throw out in her opening monologue. Perhaps she’ll do her Melania Trump impression. https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Laura-Benanti-and-Jason-Jones-to-Host-33rd-Annual-Lucille-Lortel-Awards-20180313

Change of plans. Instead of the nominations being announced tomorrow (which the Lortel’s website initially said), the nominations will be announced on Wednesday at noon through Playbill.com via Facebook Live. Steven Pasquale and Rachel Bay Jones will announce the nominees. http://www.playbill.com/article/rachel-bay-jones-and-steven-pasquale-to-announce-2018-lucille-lortel-nominations-on-playbill
