Is there a reason you don’t have Prima Facie on your list, or doesn’t it have a theatre yet? That’s probably going to be a contender in Play and a frontrunners in Actress.

December 12, 2021 at 5:32 pm #1204648404And at last, A Strange Loop is expected to open on Broadway in 2022. That is, unless the pandemic shuts theaters again, in a strange loop that nobody needs—especially not Michael R. Jackson.

ReplyNovember 12, 2021 at 8:18 am #1204574016I’m glad that award has been reinstated.
It looks like there will be five nominees for Best Musical as there are nine eligible shows. I’m currently predicting:
Girl from the North Country
Mrs. Doubtfire
Paradise Square
Sing Street
SixBased on the reactions I’ve seen on BroadwayWorld, I wouldn’t be surprised if Flying Over Sunset winds up in there. Being a fully original musical will definitely score some points.
Another blind spot we should be aware of is the possibility of A Strange Loop transferring in time for Tony eligibility. Its Washington run ends in January, so if a stage is open it could probably find its way to New York, and if it does it could make for a strong contender in Best Musical, Best Book, and and Best Actor.
November 12, 2021 at 8:12 am #1204573995I was able to see the touring Oklahoma! in Minneapolis on Wednesday.
I had a good time, and Sis absolutely brought the house down with her performance of “I Cain’t Say No”, but the show is probably going to be even more divisive on tour than it was on Broadway – I heard a number of people say they didn’t like it afterwards.
Part of this is probably the stripped down & darker approach of Daniel Fish, but another issue is that this show hasn’t been fully optimized for a performance in a Proscenium setting. Elements of the performances and some of the lighting cues (the blackouts especially) probably don’t work as well in a less intimate setting. Hopefully they can work on this as the tour progresses.

Don’t know if you’re aware, but Vanesss Kirby already played Stella opposite Gillian Anderson as Blanche and Ben Foster as Stanley. You can stream it via the National Theatre at Home.
ReplyMarch 9, 2020 at 7:40 pm #1203376387It’s always interesting how the Oliviers differ from the Tonys. Like Idina Menzel won the Tony for the Broadway production of Wicked, yet she didn’t even receive an Olivier nomination for the West End production
Like how Mark Harris pointed out how appropriate it was that Daveed Diggs won Best Featured Actor in a Musical at the Tonys for playing Lafayette/Jefferson in “Hamilton”, while the London production the actor playing King George won the Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Musical.
ReplyMarch 6, 2020 at 10:07 am #1203373322It always seems to be a tough category, but Best Actress in a Musical is going to be a bloodbath this year. Adrienne Warren, Karen Olivo, Mare Winningham, Sharon D. Clark, Shereen Pimentel, Katrina Lenk, Carmen Cusack, Elizabeth Stanley, even Jeanna de Waal. All of them could be nominated and I could see a path to the win for about 80% of them.
ReplyNovember 22, 2019 at 6:29 am #1203196872Olivia and Tobias playing them with that much tenderness was the most unexpected and pleasant surprise of season 3. Relieved that they finally dropped Philip perpetually blaming his woes on her, and they were largely in tune with and actively attentive to each other. The number of small scenes where it was just them hanging out with each other with their corgis with no children in sight lol.
I think it goes to a major theme of the season, that Elizabeth and Phillip are older and more comfortable in their roles as royalty. They aren’t butting heads against the institutions, or each other, nearly as much and are more comfortable openly talking about it. Colman and (especially) Menzies are terrific at embodying this new maturity in contrast to Foy and Smith (who were fantastic, but in very different situations).

CBS Studios’ James Comey Series Casts Its Obama
Margeaux Sippell
The WrapNovember 15, 2019, 3:52 PM CSTThe James Comey miniseries has cast Kingsley Ben-Adir to play former president Barack Obama, a spokesperson for CBS Studios confirmed to TheWrap.
The series also set Brian d’Arcy James (“Spotlight”) to play former FBI Deputy Director Mark Giuliano; Steve Zissis (“Togetherness”) will to play former FBI General Counsel Jim Baker, and Shawn Doyle (“House of Cards”) will play the assistant director of the FBI Counterintelligence Division Bill Priestap.
Ben-Adir’s previous roles include series like “Peaky Blinders” and “The OA,” as well as in the Disney+ film “Noelle” with Anna Kendrick. He will next be seen in alongside Zoe Kravitz in “High Fidelity.”
November 8, 2019 at 6:07 am #1203170829Meanwhile The Morning Show is one of the most expensive shows ever made so critics had their knives sharpened ready to strike if it was anything less than flawless.
That’s what happens when Apple clearly positions it as a prestige hit and centerpiece for the network. Miss that mark, and you fall hard. And it’s not like the show has been a populist hit that transcends the critical reception – at best what I’ve heard was “It’s not that bad”.
Frankly, the show is lucky Apple has all of the money, because this will give them time to think about what went wriong and course correct in the second season. In just about every other circumstance, the show would probably have been canceled by now.

This could well end very badly.
ReplyAugust 24, 2019 at 10:13 am #1203037663Let’s look at it this way – if you heard about a big-budget sci-fi space Western series starring Pedro Pascal, Nick Nolte, Carl Weathers, and Werner Herzog with directors like Jon Favreau, Rick Famuyiwa, and Taika Waititi behind the camera, would you hesitate for a second before declaring it an early Emmy contender?
