So I got 23 out of 26 Tony predictions right, my best score maybe ever. Alas, two of the three I got wrong were two of the biggest m categories: Best Musical and Best Musical Revival. But still, a pretty dang good score! :)

For a pretty weak Broadway season, this is a surprisingly strong Tonys telecast. And Pink is a terrific host.

Your annual reminder that the Tonys are spelled just like that: the Tonys. No apostrophe. Just the Tonys. (The Tonys won by Tony Kushner are Tony's Tonys. The Tonys won by Tony Kushner and Tony Shalhoub are Tonys' Tonys.)

NEWLY UPDATED: To help ramp up for the Tonys on Sunday, here are videos of the 40 greatest Tony performances of all time. Enjoy and share widely! The youngs must know! www.timeout.com/newyork/thea...

More than half of the publicly identified donors to Trump's White House ballroom project have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion during the past six months, according to a report released by a government watchdog group.

And here they are: My 2026 Tony Award predictions and analysis for all 26 categories. I went out of a few limbs this year, because hey, it’s been a pretty weird season out there on Broadway. Let the second-guessing begin! www.timeout.com/newyork/thea...

This is one of my favorite episodes yet: a deep dive into Death of a Salesman with its director Joe Mantello. We talk about the choices and challenges involved, and Joe reveals some REALLY interesting discoveries he made while studying Arthur Miller's original drafts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yWF...

If you’re a Tony voter, can we chat on background? Let me know ASAP!

Shrey spelling 32 words in 90 seconds to win the Spelling Bee is the new greatest athletic accomplishment of 2026. I don’t even know how he said the letters that fast. Got a “Holy Mackerel” out of @minakimes.bsky.social

An honor as always to serve on the Actors' Equity Foundation committee! This year's eminently worthy winners: The Clarence Derwent Awards for breakthrough performances go to McKenzie Kurtz (for Schmigadoon! and Heathers) and Ali Louis Bourzgui (for The Lost Boys).

Beaches has announced that it is closing this weekend, which is not a surprise, and I can't in good faith recommend it. But I'm glad I got to see Jessica Vosk's warm, full-hearted performance as Cee Cee. www.timeout.com/newyork/news...

NEW! NEW! NEW! In the latest episode of Sitting Ovations I go deep with playwright Gina Gionfriddo and director Trip Cullman about their brilliant work in Broadway's five-star Becky Shaw. Take a listen! www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_QT...

I’ve been traveling today and spent the time re-listening to the original cast album of Caroline, or Change and my god it is just unspeakably gorgeous. Apologies to my Uber driver for crying in the back seat more than once.

Welcome to the era of AI cold pitches!

‪Thank you, Bruce Glikas and Broadway World, for these fabulous pics of the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Awards ceremony! www.broadwayworld.com/article/Excl...

I try not to be maudlin, but: Sometimes I have a tough time getting through the day and sometimes I feel like one of the world's luckiest guys. This afternoon's New York Drama Critics' Circle Awards ceremony was the latter kind of time. (Cont.)

A promising update regarding fire damage at the O'Neill: "Next week, ATG Entertainment and The Book of Mormon will provide an update regarding performances, which are anticipated to resume at the Eugene O’Neill in the coming weeks."

As a palate cleanser from Tonys discourse please enjoy this duet from Wicked as performed by Angela and Bea www.instagram.com/reel/DS001Ye...
