9 June 2025 After the Tony Awards

[KathyB]

The Tonys are always my favorite awards ceremony, partly because I use them as a shopping list to which cast albums I want to listen to. This year I didn't think too much of the numbers chosen from any of the new musicals  (I thought Operation Mincemeat looked particularly bad on TV, but that actually made me more interested in it). I don't think the TV treatment did Floyd Collins any favors either, unfortunately. That's the one cast album I'm most excited about.

I'm also now more curious about Oh, Mary!: How well might it translate to regional theatre?

English is part of the Denver Center upcoming season.

And I believe Cynthia Erivo can do no wrong, although she looked hot (temperature-wise) in the opening number.
