RE: Tony Talk: 2014/2015 season
I'm hearing a lot of fantastic things about Lin Manuel Miranda's latest musical, Hamilton but I think that will probably be sweeping NEXT year's Tonys instead.
Is Bradley Cooper eligible? |

RE: Tony Talk: 2014/2015 season
Cooper should be eligible. It played at the Booth, and when all is said and done, it'll end up as one of the most profitable productions of the season. From what I saw he got very good reviews, even from critics who were more mixed on the production itself. Whether he gets nominated will depend, I guess, on what their mood towards movie stars is this time around.

RE: Tony Talk: 2014/2015 season
The Olivier nominations have been announced and while this isn't a precursor, of course, it's still interesting because generally, plays recognized by the Olivier awards make it over to New York sooner or later. This season, for example, features three of the 2012/13 nominees (they follow the calendar not Tony season, so the 2015 awards will recognize the 2014 calendar year). Things to note
a) Gillian Anderson was nominated for A Streetcar Named Desire. This is no star-whoring nomination, though. Her reviews were phenomenal and I think she's the frontrunner for the win (when you toss in her performance in The Fall and Hannibal on television. She hasn't done New York in a couple decades, but she should. She's probably going to win - she's already won the Evening Standard Award. b) Wolf Hall/Bring Up the Bodies was nominated for the Olivier and will be playing Broadway this year. The Nether is playing off Broadway. Playwright Jennifer Haley is American, but as is sometimes the case, American plays will play London before New York. I've read it and it is seriously remarkable if seriously disturbing. Look for it as a big contender for critics prizes. c) The lack of Skylight is somewhat surprising, but it played long enough ago that I guess it was forgotten for newer pleasures. I doubt the Tony awards will overlook Mulligan or Nighy, but this is the year where all play categories will feature surprising snubs because of how rich they all are. The National Theatre also did surprisingly poorly (nothing for The James Plays for example). d) Mike Bartlett is probably the frontrunner for best play and deservingly so. He hasn't crossed over to New York like Nick Payne (or their spiritual Godfather, Simon Stephens) but he's a really strong playwright and both his 2014 plays would be on my top ten list (reading only). |

RE: Tony Talk: 2014/2015 season
I've been hearing so much about this "Hamilton" musical. Is it some sort of phenomenon or what?
I wonder if Tonya Pinkins makes into Actress in a Play even though the play itself wasn't received so well. |

RE: Tony Talk: 2014/2015 season
a) It's really successful and will sweep the Tonys next year.
b) Alas not, as Rasheeda Speaking is off-Broadway. |
