Latest in Tony Nominations

The return of Bruce Springsteen’s long-running engagement at the Walter Kerr Theatre, which was on hiatus last week, and the initial previews of a starry revival of The Boys in the Band spurred a 5% increase in Broadway box office. Total grosses reached $36,994,027 for the week ending May 6, according to figures from…

I suspect we’ll be seeing more than one silly and misleading “frozen out” reference in coverage of this year’s Tony Awards nominations – starting with that one – but the absence of Frozen in the leading actress categories (Patti Murin and Caissie Levy), and director (Michael Grandage) from the 2018 nominations roster…

The Tony Awards nominations announcements will be co-hosted by Leslie Odom, Jr. (Hamilton) and Katharine McPhee (Waitress), the organization announced today. The nominations will be announced Tuesday, May 1, at 8:30 a.m. ET and can be viewed live on CBS This Morning. The announcements also will be livestreamed at http…

Joe DiPietro’s revision of Garson Kanin’s valedictory comedy Peccadillo, which marked the Broadway debut of diva Renée Fleming, will close on Sunday. Staged by Kathleen Marshall and co-starring Douglas Sills, Living On Love opened at the Longacre Theatre close to the deadline for Tony nominations and came away…

Reacting to the snub this morning by the Tony nominating committee, which declined to give Finding Neverland any love at all, producer Harvey Weinstein took the high road: "With 27 nominations today for Fun Home, The Elephant Man, The Audience and Wolf Hall, shows that we either co-invested or co-produced, we couldn't…
