It’s Tony day! Today those of us who live beyond the Great White Way, get our annual preview of what may one day get a touring production that ventures in our general direction. We are talking to you “Newsies.”
As with all awards shows we have our opinions and favorites, based entirely on previous performances, the one show we actually saw (“Kinky Boots” in Chicago with Harvey Fierstein—yes he was sitting 2 rows in front of us), and having a good feeling about it.
So, take the following as you will, but regardless here are 2WC’s picks for the 4 big awards of the 2013 Tony Awards:
Best Musical:
Zer- “Matilda”
Stephanie- “Kinky Boots”
Best Play:
Zer- “Lucky Guy” – It’s Tom Hanks and Nora Ephron (post-mortem) – you can’t beat that.
Stephanie- “Lucky Guy”
Best Revival of a Musical:
Zer- “Pippin”
Stephanie- “Pippin”
Best Revival of a Play:
Zer- “Golden Boy”
Stephanie- “The Trip to Bountiful”
