The official voting for the Tony Awards has concluded, and now it’s time for theater enthusiasts to voice their preferences. Broadway’s finest are in the spotlight, and readers have the opportunity to weigh in on their favorites.
Best New Musical
This year’s competition is fierce with both “The Lost Boys” and “Schmigadoon!” leading with 12 nominations each. These potential winners face competition from strong contenders like “Titaníque” and the charming “Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York).”
Best Leading Actor in a Play
A riveting contest emerges as John Lithgow is recognized for his role in “Giant,” while Nathan Lane earns a nod for “Death of a Salesman.” Daniel Radcliffe is also in the running to secure his second Tony for “Every Brilliant Thing.” Theatergoers might recall Joshua Henry’s emotional baritone in “Ragtime” as especially moving.
Hurry if you wish to see Nicholas Christopher’s acclaimed performance in “Chess,” which ends on June 21. Critics have labeled it a ‘star-making’ moment.
Best Leading Actress in a Play
For the category of Best Leading Actress, Rose Byrne and Kelli O’Hara are recognized for their comedic talents in “Fallen Angels.” Lesley Manville’s intense delivery in “Oedipus” shouldn’t be overlooked either.
“Perhaps these factors and more have influenced what you’ve chosen to see.”
The votes are in, and it’s now time for fans of Broadway to play the critic. Make your selections for your top productions and performances of the season.
