At this year’s Tony Awards, there are three actresses in contention for two separate performances in two separate productions they’ve appeared in this past season. They are Carolee Carmello, Crystal Lucas-Perry, and Phillipa Soo. Will any of them land at least one Tony nomination on May 2? Let’s go over each of the three.
Back in the fall, Carmello played John Dickinson in a limited run of Roundabout Theatre Company’s revival of “1776.” Now she’s playing the wicked stepmother in Andrew Lloyd Webber‘s newest musical, “Bad Cinderella.” Carmello has been nominated three times before. First in 1999 for the original production of “Parade,” then in 2006 for “Lestat,” and in 2013 for “Scandalous.”
As she is on the ballot for Best Featured Actress in a Musical twice, it’s possible she could split her support in the nominating process. However, what could hurt her more from getting nominated...

“To say that this is a dream come true is an understatement,” marveled Sutton Foster in 2002 when Jerry Orbach and Doris Roberts called her name as the winner of the Tony Award for her performance in “Thoroughly Modern Millie.” Now exactly 20 years later, Foster could win her third trophy for her work in the revival of the classic Broadway musical “The Music Man,” starring opposite fellow Tony winner Hugh Jackman. Below, see a list of all seven of Sutton Foster’s Tony nominations and her two wins.

The Tony Awards celebrating the 2017-18 Broadway season are still a week away but the derby for next year’s trophies has already begun with the opening of “The Boys in the Band,” the first production of the 2018-19 season. This 50th anniversary revival of the 1968 landmark play by Mart Crowley opened at the Booth Theatre on May 31. Helmed by director Joe Mantello, who competes for Best Direction of a Play at this year’s Tonys for his helming of Edward Albee’s “Three Tall Women,” “The Boys in the Band” cast includes Matt Bomer, Jim Parsons, Zachary Quinto, and Andrew Rannells.
Set on a single night in April 1968, “The Boys in the Band” centers on Harold’s (Quinto) birthday party, hosted by Michael (Parsons) for a small group of their gay mutual friends. When two unexpected guests arrive and Michael begins to drink for the first time in a while,...

Apocalyptic wastelands aren’t often presented on Broadway stages, but Lucky Kirkwood’s “The Children” presents audiences with life in the countryside after a nuclear fallout. Unlike most end-of-the-world dramas, this play stays indoors and focuses on the inhabitants of a seaside cottage. It’s the intense focus on character that provide Deborah Findlay the opportunity to score a Tony Award nomination for Featured Actress in a Play.
Findlay portrays Hazel, a retired nuclear physicist. She lives with her husband Robin (Ron Cook) in a run down cottage just outside the “exclusion zone,” the area ravaged by earthquakes, tidal waves, and radiation after the power plant which employed the couple experienced a Fukushima like disaster. She has settled nicely into a hippie-fied retired life, full of yoga and living off the land, when an old friend and co-worker Rose (Francesca Annis) appears after a 38-year absence.
Rose’s sudden resurgence shakes Hazel.

Despite a star-studded cast of A-listers that includes Chris Evans and Michael Cera, Brian Tyree Henry‘s performance is being singled out in the Broadway revival of “Lobby Hero.” David Rooney (Hollywood Reporter) even goes so far as to say, “The terrific Brian Tyree Henry [is] the production’s standout performance, showing a radically different range from his streetwise looseness on FX’s ‘Atlanta.'” Might all of this industry acclaim help Henry earn an Emmy nomination for “Atlanta” Season 2?
See ‘Atlanta’ season 2 reviews: Does ‘Atlanta Robbin’ Season’ avoid the sophomore slump?
Don’t forget, Henry is already on Emmy’s radar as he was nominated last year for guest starring on “This Is Us.” (He lost to co-star Gerald McRaney.) But at the 2018 Emmys all eyes will be on whether he can nab a Best Comedy Supporting Actor nomination as up-and-coming rapper Paper Boi on “Atlanta.” According to Gold Derby’s Emmy odds,...

Welcome to the March 17, 2015 edition of Outrage Watch, HitFix's (almost) daily rundown of all the things folks are peeved about in entertainment. So much anger today! Top story: Daily Beast TV writer Kevin Fallon has a big problem with NBC's "One Big Happy." "As a sitcom, it’s as retrograde as it gets - a 'Three's Company' retread where instead of getting starkly different personalities, the characters get different sexualities. (Or, in Prudence’s case, an accent)," writes Fallon of the new Ellen DeGeneres-produced sitcom, which stars Elisha Cuthbert as a gay woman who decides to raise a child with her straight best friend (Nick Zano) -- only to have his hot new wife (Kelly Brook) move in. "Hijinks barely even ensue, replaced instead by broad lesbian clichés and stereotypes that are only recognized as jokes when the unsettling, maniacal laugh track kicks in." Fallon continues: "If...

From Siegfried Sassoon and Ivor Novello to Gore Vidal and Fred Astaire, a surprisingly large number of writers have paired off with film stars
On Monday, a raunchy letter from Ernest Hemingway to Marlene Dietrich – a surreal fantasy about her, reflecting what he called an "unsynchronised passion" that endured for more than 25 years – is part of an online auction of Dietrich's possessions. Although their relationship remained platonic, many other authors did have movie-star lovers …
F Scott Fitzgerald – Lois Moran
Fitzgerald's affair in the 1920s with this Zelda lookalike, a silent screen actor who was 17 when he first met her, infuriated his wife – she once threw a jewellery gift from him out of a train window while raging about Moran – but inspired Dick Diver's romance with the actor Rosemary Hoyt in Tender Is the Night.

The film-maker talks about hitchhiking, his one-man show in Liverpool – and what his parents thought of Pink Flamingos
William Burroughs called the film director John Waters "the pope of trash". Waters, 67, was born, raised and still lives in Baltimore, Maryland where his close friend Divine, whom he made a star, also grew up. Waters's best-known movies include Pink Flamingos (in which Divine ate dog faeces), Polyester, Hairspray, Cry-Baby and Serial Mom. He is also a writer, artist and art collector and will perform his one-man show, This Filthy World – about film, his fascination with true crime, exploitation films and "fashion lunacy" – at this year's Homotopia arts festival in Liverpool. Waters is writing a book about hitchhiking across America last year.
How was the road trip?
I hitchhiked from my front door in Baltimore to my flat in San Francisco. I last hitchhiked when I was 16. It's a bit different when you're 66. Before,...

Is there any correlation between fuzzy self-judgment and waning creative powers?
To paraphrase Al Pacino in The Godfather Part III, just when I thought Woody was out of his pit of below-par recent releases, he pulls us both back in. I thought Whatever Works showed the glimmers of a bona fide return to form. Then I read something he said in the process of promoting it that confirms your worst fears about how off the ball he is.
Speaking to Tim Teeman in last Friday's Times, Allen picked his six favourite Woody Allen films. Which turned out to be The Purple Rose of Cairo, Match Point, Bullets Over Broadway, Zelig, Husbands and Wives, and Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
Laugh? Cry? Well, others have dealt with the pain by inviting readers to disagree – an almost irresistible invite (for what it's worth I'd go with Annie Hall, Manhattan, Hannah and her Sisters, Crimes and Misdemeanours,...

Up in the Air appears to have an inside track for Best Picture, but don't count out Nine, a musical directed by Rob Marshall (Chicago) starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Penelope Cruz, and Sophia Loren!
"...smart, sexy, occasionally sorrowful film adaptation of the 1982 Broadway show...."
— Matt Wolf, Telegraph (U.K.)
"...one of those rare things: a sombre musical, as gritty as it is glittery."
— Tim Teeman, Times (U.K.)
"...Rob Marshall's disciplined, tightly focused film impresses and amuses as it extravagantly renders the creative crisis of a middle-aged Italian director, circa 1965."
— Todd McCarthy, Variety
"For a musical, Nine is often an introspective, sombre piece, and the film’s sign-off feels particularly anti-climactic and downbeat."
— Dave Calhoun, Time Out London
"Nine marks the number of terrific acting and singing talents poorly used in this flat rendition of the Broadway musical."
— Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter

Updated through 12/5.
Director Rob Marshall and much of his starry cast walked the red carpet in London last night for the world premiere of Nine, an adaptation of the musical by Arthur Kopit and Maury Yeston which opened on Broadway in 1982 and which, you'll have heard, is loosely based on Federico Fellini's 8½ (1963). Tim Teeman was there for the Times: "If you haven't seen or don't know the original musical, and if you are seduced by the spectacular trailers, you might expect Nine to be a glittering cavalcade of frouffed and bouffed leading ladies (Penélope Cruz and Nicole Kidman among them), prowling slinkily around leading man Daniel Day-Lewis. But Nine is one of those rare things: a sombre musical, as gritty as it is glittery."...
