What are some of the key races?
The best new play: This Tony Award is sure to be given to “Lehman Trilogy,” a fascinating history lesson that records the rise and fall of the Lehman Brothers financial empire. Two dark comedies are also running. Linnottage’s “Clyde’s” is set in a sandwich store that employs recently imprisoned individuals. The “Hangmen” by Martin McDonagh takes place in a bar run by the second best executioner in the UK, shortly after the UK bans the death penalty. Other candidates are “Skeleton Crew”, Dominique Moriso’s play about a group of car factory workers facing closure, and “Minute”, Tracy Letts is a dark secret held by the governing body of a small town. I’m investigating.
Tony Awards: Best New Musical Nomination
Candidate for 2022. The best new musical competition at the Tony Awards (traditionally the most economically beneficial award) is this year’s wide-ranging six-party contest. Let’s take a closer look at each candidate.
The best new musical: This season’s most nominated show, “A Strange Loop,” is endorsed to win the most important races for the best new musicals. The show is a meta-musical about his suspicion and an ambitious composer who confronts the devil and has been nominated for 11 Tony Awards. If there’s a turmoil here, it probably comes from the biographical jukebox musical “MJ” that follows when Michael Jackson is preparing for a world tour. The mix also includes “Paradise Square,” which explores racial changes and dance styles in the neighborhood of New York City, which was hit by the civil war. “Six”, a British pop musical about Henry VIII’s wife. “Girl from the North Country” uses Bob Dylan’s song to imagine life in a boarding house in Minnesota during the Great Depression. And “Mr. Saturday Night”, an adaptation of Billy Crystal’s movie of the same name.
Acting race: Sam Rockwell (“American Buffalo”), Mary-Louise Parker (“How to Drive”), Billy Crystal “Mr. Saturday Night”, Hugh Jackman (“Music Man”), Uzo Aduba (“Clyde”) , Rachel Dratch (“POTUS”), Filicia Rashad (“Skeleton Crew”), Ruth Negga (“Macbeth”), Patty Rupon (“Company”).
The competition for the best musical performers is particularly controversial. Voters seem to be evenly divided into two young actors, Myles Frost (22) and Jaquel Spivey (23). Each is making their professional stage debut this season. Frost was nominated for a compelling portrayal of Michael Jackson driven in “MJ,” and Spivey was nominated for a performance that exposed his soul as the protagonist of self-suspicion in “Strange Loop.”
Voters tear between Sharon D. Clark, who played a painful but powerful maid at the heart of the resurrection of “Caroline, or Change,” and Hoakina Whiskas, who plays with determination, in the competition for the leading actress in the musical. The owner of the tavern of the new musical “Paradise Square”.
