“Buena Vista Social Club”, “Death” and “Maybe Happy Ending” -lead Tony Award Nominations

New York (AP) – Three Broadway shows – “Buena Vista Social Club”, “Death” and “Perhaps Happy Ending” – received a leading nominations for Tony Award on Thursday when nominators spread the joy of George Clooney, Sarah Snook and Bob Odenkirk in their debuts.

Twenty-nine shows received at least one nomination in the 26 Tony categories, even long-closed shows such as “A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical” and “Away”.

James Monroe Iglehart, who played in his musical Armstrong, did not expect the nomination and woke up to his phone. “I said, 'What's going on? Is everything okay?' And then I was: “Ok! He said.” I am very happy to be part of this harvest of amazing actors. “

“Buena Vista Social Club”, which can be inspired by Wim Wenders' Oscar-nominated documentary about the album “Buena Vista Social Club”, will be for the best musical crown with “Death” based on the 1992 cult film of the same name on Frenien, who are looking for a magical e-youth and beauty youth film.

The category also includes “Happy Ending”, a Rome Com musical about a few androids that crackled with humanity and “Dead Outlaw”, a musical about an alcoholic drift in real life that was shot in 1911 and of which was exhibited as a fiction as a fiction as a fiction in Carnivals and Sidows for decades.

A second show with a body with a body, the British import “Operation Mincemeat”, also managed to an incredibly true story about a British deception that was misleaded by Nazi Germany about the place of allied landing in Sicily.

“What I keep so cool this year is that the shows are so very different, and I love it for Broadway,” says Christopher Gattelli, the choreographer and first director of “Death”, who earned for both jobs nod.

“We have chamber pieces and really small intimate shows and this wild funny black box shows, and I love that it was such a large area of ​​a year. I love that we can add this mix.”

“Dead Outlaw” designed by David Yazbek, who wrote the music and the texts with Erik Della Penna, combines Yazbek with the author Imar Moses and the director David Cromer, who won the tony winner “The Bands Visit”. Yazbek said on Thursday that the team learned a lesson with this show that they applied for for “Dead Outlaw”.

“If you do what you want to do and make it true to yourself and leave the rest to the fates, then you can actually get the reception you want. And so we somehow stick to this approach,” he said.

Best game category

In the Best Play “English” category, the dramatist Sanaz Toossi's view of four Iranian students, which was excellent with the Pulitzer Prize, made the cut. Like “The Hills of California” was Jez Butterworth's view of a family who played in a hotel in a hotel in a hotel in a hotel in the summer of 1976.

With “John Proctor is the villain”, Kimberly Belfly's examination of the girls, feminism, the #metoo movement and a convincing refutation on “The Crucible” and “Purple”, Jacobs-Jenns-Jenns' drama broke over an experienced black family who competes from inside from inside.

The category is with “Oh, Mary!”, A disrespectful, slippery, cheerful, revisionist story of Cole Escola, who concentrated on Mary Todd Lincoln and, as a boozy, narcissistic, pottery first lady, which is determined to strike from the subordinate role in history, in which it occurs in history.

Jacobs-Jenkins, whose “appropriate” won the best-play resuscitation last year, said on Thursday morning that his category was filled with games that began regional or outside of Broadway and showed the strength of art.

“I hope people see the variety of what is happening to write for the American phases. It's really a great time,” he said. “I think that's just the proof of how fertile the shape is.”

Schau nod and some are missing

Audra McDonald, as expected, heard as Rose as a rose in a hail resuscitation of “Gypsy”. McDonald, already owner for most Tony of one actor – with six – desert now for a seventh.

She will be against Nicole Scherzinger in “Sunset BLVD.”, Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard in “Death” and Jasmine Amy Rogers from “Boop! The Musical”, which follows the cartoon character of the depression.

McDonald attributes to the late Broadway star Gavin Creel that she lists “Gypsy” in her house about eight years ago during a dinner party. It was not on her radar and she did not believe that a black -led “gypsy” would fly. Creel insisted on it. He died on the first day of the “Gypsy” sample. “We have another reason to thank him,” she said.

Clooney was a nod as the leading actor for his retelling of the history of the legendary reporter Edward R. Murrow in an adaptation of his 2005 film “Good Night and Good Luck”. Another hot ticket of David Mamet's “Glengarry Glen Ross” Odenkirk brought a nod, but not for his co-stars Kieran Culkin or Comedian Bill Burr. (The Snub may derail an Oscar, an Emmy and a Tony in less than 18 months.)

Snook, Culkin's “Succession” Co -Star, received a nomination for playing all 26 parts in “The Picture of Dorian Gray” and “Stranger Things”, Sadie Sink, earned a guidance of “John Proctor is the villain”. “Stranger Things: The First Shadow”, an effect amount for your old Netflix hit show, earned five nods, including for lead actor Louis McCartney.

The news was less good for Kit Connor and Rachel Zegler, both in Broadway debut. Neither got nominations for their “Romeo + Julia” in Generation X and Millennials. Robert Downey Jr., who also celebrated his Broadway debut in the play “McNeal”, was also not recognized. Mia Farrow received a nomination for “The roommate”, but her co-star, Broadway Diva Patti Lupone, did not.

And shocked, a nervous “Othello” with Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, who require the producers north of 900 US dollars for orchestra seats, did not get a single nomination. Idina Menzel's return to the Broadway in “Redwood”, a contemporary fable about trees, grief and the search for healing, has also received no nominations, “the last five years”, with Nick Jonas and Tony-Winner Adrienne Warren

Thornton Wilder's “Our Town” with Jim Parsons and Katie Holmes earned the nomination of Tony, but not for his actors. The musical of Elton John around the 1980-telangangelist Tammy Faye Bakker and the Stephen Sondheim Revue with Tony winners Bernadette Peters and Lea Salonga both came empty.

The Tony Awards will be distributed on June 8th in the Radio City Music Hall during a television program by “Wicked” star and Tony winner Cynthia Erivo.
