Julia Murney on Audra McDonald in 'The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess'
17 hours ago | backstage.com | See recent Backstage news »
Audra McDonald in "The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess" utterly gobsmacked me. I was particularly impressed with the scene when she was on the island alone with Crown, the big bully whom she has left to be with Porgy. She knows she shouldn't still want Crown sexually, but she does have sex with him. That is ferocious to me in all of the greatest ways. She was so delicious and frightening and uncomfortably sexy. She didn't make any apologies for that character, who makes some really questionable choices. You could almost read her thoughts and feelings. It was as if Bess were saying, "That man over there, Crown, is bad for me and I don't know how to walk away from him and I don't know if I deserve better." She embodied that so brilliantly.The biggest aspect of her performance was how all-encompassing it was. She very much puts across the. »

Private Practice Round Table: "Gone, Baby, Gone"
17 May 2012 2:19 PM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Welcome back to TV Fanatic's Private Practice Round Table!
With Private Practice Season 5 in the books, Tvf staff writers Christina Tran and Carissa Pavlica join newcomers Caitlyn Castro and Jarrod Mitchell for a Round Table Q&A discussion of the finale.
Here's the Tvf panel's take on everything from the emotional season-ending "Gone, Baby, Gone," with a look ahead to the recently-announced sixth season next fall ...
----------------------------------------
1. What was your favorite quote or scene from this week’s Private Practice episode?
Jarrod: Favorite scene was Amelia's turnaround of wanting to hold her baby. It was just really sad that she couldn't be with him any longer.
Caitlin: I actually enjoyed almost everything in this episode so I'll just mention what I didn't like which was everything to do with Violet and Pete then that last bit between Sam and Addison.
Carissa: The look on Sam's face when Addison was making out with Jake. »

Broadway box office: 'Nice Work' and 'Once' get biggest post-Tony bumps
7 May 2012 2:47 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
In its first full week since its April 24 opening, Nice Work If You Can Get It joined Broadway’s million-dollar club with a gross of $1,022,115, up a whopping 23 percent from the previous week. For the week ending May 6, the “new” Gershwin brothers’ musical starring Matthew Broderick (pictured above) and Kelli O’Hara also had the largest gain of any production on the Great White Way and was the biggest beneficiary of its 10 Tony nominations. It joined five other shows that earned at least $1 million last week: The Lion King, Wicked, The Book of Mormon, Evita, and Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark. »

Private Practice Round Table: "True Colors"

Welcome back to TV Fanatic's Private Practice Round Table!
Our Private Practice review broke down last Tuesday's "True Colors," in detail. Now, Tvf staff writers Christina Tran and Carissa Pavlica join newcomers Caitlyn Castro and Jarrod Mitchell for a Round Table Q&A.
Read their answers below and weigh in with yours!
----------------------------------------
1. What was your favorite quote or scene from this week’s Private Practice episode?
Jarrod: Probably when Addison went off at Sam on his office. Honestly, he did offer to watch baby Henry, so why be such a jerk about it?
Caitlyn: Nothing really stood out for me in this episode, but I guess what I liked the most was the last scene between Cooper, Charlotte, and Mason. I'm hoping this is the beginning of this family functioning well. It might be a little too ambitious to think Cooper might finally grow up, but one can only hope. »

2012 Tony nominees John Lithgow and Audra McDonald feel the 'thrill'
2 May 2012 2:40 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
TV stars from the 1970s through today were basking in their Tony Awards nominations Wednesday (May 2).
It seemed like a genuine love fest at the Millennium Broadway as actors embraced and congratulated one another for their nominations. Among them: Audra McDonald ("Private Practice"), Christian Borle ("Smash"), Michael Cerveris ("Fringe"), John Lithgow ("3rd Rock from the Sun"), Linda Lavin ("Alice") and Judith Light ("Who's The Boss") all honored for their work now on Broadway.
Lithgow, who plays the waspish, egomaniacal writer Joseph Alsop in "The Columnist," says of his sixth Tony nod, "It does not get old. It is equally exciting and thrilling."
In Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play category, Lithgow competes against James Corden of "One Man, Two Guvnors," Philip Seymour Hoffman of "Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman," James Earl Jones of "Gore Vidal's The Best Man" and Frank Langella of "Man and Boy. »

Stage Door: Tony Award Nominations

They're here. The 2012 Tony Award nominations. For your perusal and discussion the nominee list. Unfortunately this year I saw relatively few shows: Follies (genius), Porgy & Bess (strong), Bonnie & Clyde (errrr). The stage adaptation of the film musical Once (2007) led the nominations with 11. I still haven't seen it (sniffle) but I love the film. Porgy & Bess is close behind with 10 nominations including a possible record-tying fifth win from the one and only Audra McDonald.

The Great White Way is buzzing this morning with the unveiling of the 2012 Tony nominations, and many of Broadway's usual suspects were singled out with nods—see James Earl Jones, Audra McDonald and John Lithgow, for starters. Alas, there's only so much Tony love to go around (sorry, Samuel L. Jackson!). Here's a quick look at five of the biggest snubs: 1. Ricky Martin: He's been getting nightly raves in the role of Che in the Broadway revival of Evita, but unfortunately he won't be "Livin' la Vida Loca" at the awards ceremony on June 10 after Tony voters found the pop superstar a total bore.

"Once," a contained sweet musical set in an Irish pub, leads the 66th Annual Tony Awards nominations with 11 nods. Jim Parsons ("The Big Bang Theory") and Kristin Chenoweth ("Gcb") announced the nominees from the New York Public Library for Performing Arts at Lincoln Center.
The incredibly vibrant Broadway season comes to a climax Sunday, June 10, with the broadcast of the annual awards. Neil Patrick Harris hosts the CBS live awards show from Manhattan's Beacon Theater.
"Once," based on the 2006 film, features musician-actors playing instruments and enchanting the audience. The Gershwin brothers continue to rack up honors, with two of their well known scores fueling two musicals with 10 nominations each: "The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess" and "Nice Work If You Can Get It."

The Tony Nominations Are In
1 May 2012 7:13 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The 2012 Tony Award nominations were announced this morning by Kristin Chenoweth and Jim Parsons, with the musicals leading the pack. "Once" -- adapted from the popular indie film -- came out on top with 11 nominations, The Gershwins' "Porgy and Bess" and "Nice Work If You Can Get It," both also musicals, trailed close behind with 10 a piece, and "Follies" and "Newsies" took a respectable eight each.
"Peter and the Starcatcher" picked up nine nominations, the most for a play, edging out this year's closest thing to a favorite, Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman," which gained seven. Philip Seymour Hoffman predictably earned a nod for his turn as Willy Loman in "Salesman," alongside fellow big names James Earl Jones ("The Best Man") and John Lithgow ("The Columnist"). Ricky Martin's divisive portrayal of Che in "Evita" got no love. "Evita," however, did snatch three nods, including one for best revival of a musical. »

Broadway's biggest night - the 66th annual Tony Awards - may be 40 days away, but the celebrating has already kicked in, especially for a modest new musical called Once, a love story set in Ireland that scored the most nominations of any show this year: 11, including best musical. Not celebrating: the much-maligned Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, which, despite an expenditure of $70 million, scads of publicity and the music of U2's Bono and the Edge, landed with only two nominations, for costume and scenic design.
