Tony Awards Nominations: The Complete List

While the concept of horror is not often seen on Broadway, the production was not able to translate that to ticket sales and saw a soft box office throughout its run. “Cabaret” transferred to Studio 54 and played there for five years; Roundabout used the proceeds to buy the former disco, now one of five stages the company owns. Roundabout grew into the largest not-for-profit theater in the country. Mendes and Marshall went on to direct movies and win Oscars — Mendes for “American Beauty,” Marshall for “Chicago” — and they haven’t stopped working since. Prior to the turn of the 20th century, the city's Central Business District was further north, along Spring and Main streets between the Plaza and 2nd Street. Robinson's opened what was then considered a very large and impressive four-story department store at 239 S.

The Tony Awards

Sophia Anne Caruso currently stars in Netflix’s hit feature The School For Good And Evil, directed by Paul Feig and adapted from the New York Times best-selling series of novels by Soman Chaiani. Sophia stars opposite Charlize Theron, Kerry Washington, and Sofia Wylie in the film, which became #1 on Netflix in numerous countries within the first 24 hours of its release. Sophia has already cemented herself as a staple of the theater community. She starred as Lydia in Warner Bros’ cult Broadway favorite, Beetlejuice, directed by Alex Timbers, for which she received a Theater World Award and a Clive Barnes Award Nomination. Sophia made her Broadway debut in the highly praised production of David Harrower’s Blackbird with Jeff Daniels and Michelle Williams and directed by Joe Mantello. She previously received Outer Critics Circle Award and Lucille Lortel Award nominations for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Musical for her breakout performance in New York Theater Workshop’s critically acclaimed run of the David Bowie and Enda Walsh hit musical, Lazarus.

“At 11 o’clock at night you’d walk out of the theater and see, like, lines of people for the nightclub,” Haimes says. They made a deal to stage “Cabaret” every night at 8, and then at 11 they would strike the set and turn the space back into a nightclub. This strategy pervaded theater so thoroughly that it lost its impact, but its initial effect — the way it brought the audience into the cabaret — inspired later directors to come up with new ways to break the fourth wall. One of the technical innovations of Prince’s production was its set, which featured a large mirror that reflected the audience. Prince’s first production, which named the male lead Cliff Bradshaw, left him in the closet. In Bob Fosse’s 1972 film, the lead’s name is Brian, and he’s a bi-curious Englishman.

But mostly let’s go with the freak-out fun of the four telekinetic weirdos and their den mother, Raleigh, played by Laurie Metcalf in a stringy salt-and-pepper wig that’s almost as frightening as she is. Raleigh is not very maternal; Marlow says she is their mother “sometimes.” Other than feeding them and untangling their tresses as if weeding a garden, she generally leaves them to their own devices. “Grey House,” at the Lyceum Theater, is certainly an in-your-face assault, more in the manner of John Carpenter movies than anything seen onstage since the age of melodrama. It is so expertly assembled from spare parts by the playwright Levi Holloway and the director Joe Mantello that you may not notice, between the jump scares and the shivery pauses, how little it has on its mind. House mother Raleigh, as portrayed by Metcalf, is gruffly put-upon at all times, but loudly in love with her adopted brood.

Who will end up where, and how badly hurt they are when they leave, are the only questions that get any sort of resolution by play’s end. Deaf, tinkering Bernie, precocious Marlow, fleet-of-foot Squirrel and the kindly, inquisitive and surprisingly named A1656 are the daughters of mama Raleigh (Laurie Metcalf), all living together in a house in the woods. One snow-bound night, cross-country travelers Max (Tatiana Maslany) and Henry (Paul Sparks), waylaid by an accident (or fate?), come to call. Closer to eerily meditative film noir than a Jason Blum fear-fest, “Grey House” — which first opened at Chicago’s A Red Orchid Theatre in 2019 — recalls John Huston’s 1948 movie “Key Largo” in its mix of unwanted visitors and scheming home inhabitants. It also nods to Eugène Ionesco with fate and grief as psychic signposts, and similarly evokes Sam Shepherd’s misery-soaked “Curse of the Starving Class” with haunted, teenaged girls on its frontlines.

She allegedly took information from the sheriff’s office that included unsustained allegations. For me, it was very important for me to kind of figure out Sally's relationship to artistry and creativity and why she ended up at the club. And there's a huge, you know, kind of cultural discussion about whether Sally has talent or whether she does not have talent. And I think it's amazing how people think they can decide or that they know that she's not - quote-unquote, "not talented" or is talented.

One game played in “Grey House” dictates that a mother will die if the “it” person tells a lie. Well, many lies are told and Raleigh, while tortured, somehow survives. Raleigh survives because if she didn’t, “Grey House” would end well before Holloway delivers his climax, which is a very unappetizing dinner party that involves way too much exposition to make narrative sense of what’s happening.

By Prince’s first Broadway revival in 1987, Cliff had gone back to being American but was bisexual. And ever since 1998, when Sam Mendes and Rob Marshall co-directed the influential revival that eventually led to this current tour, he’s been a gay man gathering the courage to express himself in a brief window of freedom before fascism sets in. From Third Street south to Olympic Blvd. (originally Tenth St.), and from Hill Street east to Los Angeles Street, including Broadway, is the Historic Core district, the city's main commercial and entertainment area in the first half of the 20th century. The square footage of the four largest department stores alone — Bullock's at 806,000 sq ft (74,900 m2), The Broadway at 577,000 sq ft (53,600 m2),[17] May Co. at over 1,000,000 sq ft (93,000 m2)[18] and J. W. Robinson's (7th St. at Hope) at 623,700 sq ft (57,940 m2)[19][20] — totaled over three million square feet, the size of American Dream Meadowlands, America's largest mall today. Written by Levi Holloway, the play follows a couple (Maslany and Paul Sparks) who crash their car in the mountains and seek shelter in a cabin.

South Broadway's southern terminus is Main Street just north of the San Diego Freeway (I-405) in Carson. From there it runs 10 miles (16 km) north through Athens and South Los Angeles to Downtown Los Angeles – at Olympic Blvd. entering downtown's Historic Core, in which the buildings lining Broadway form the Broadway Theater and Commercial District. Crossing 3rd Street, Broadway passes through the Civic Center including Grand Park. After crossing the US-101 (Santa Ana Freeway), signs read "North Broadway" as it enters Chinatown.

Coyne acted in numerous one-acts with The Circle LAB & The West Bank Downstairs Theater Bar. Her first play, Dry Land was produced by Josh Astrachan on Theater Row w. Awards; NYFA Artist Fellow (screenplay), two Iowa Arts Council Grants (writing & music), Jacob Spirit Award Hoodies (film). You get taken down into the underbelly of the theater, where there is an entire cast of performers playing in these really beautiful spaces, and you get a bit discombobulated. It's labyrinthine, and you get sort of lost, so that by the time you are taken actually into the theater itself, which sits in the round, hopefully, you have genuinely left all memory of 52nd Street outside.
