Right behind 'A Strange Loop' is a tie with 10 nominations each for 'MJ,' a bio musical of the King of Pop, and 'Paradise Square,' a musical about Irish immigrants and Black Americans.
NEW YORK —"A Strange Loop," Michael R. Jackson's critically cheered theater meta-journey earned a leading 11 Tony Award nominations Monday as Broadway joined the national discussion of race by embracing an envelope-pushing Black-written and Black-led musical.
Right behind"A Strange Loop" is a tie with 10 nominations each for"MJ," a bio musical of the King of Pop stuffed with his biggest hits, and"Paradise Square," a musical about Irish immigrants and Black Americans jostling to survive in New York City around the time of the Civil War. There's also"Clyde's," Nottage's play about a group of ex-cons trying to restart their lives at a truck stop diner, and"Hangmen," Martin McDonagh's look at an executioner-turned-pub owner forced to grapple with his past when capital punishment is made illegal in the United Kingdom.
Nominations for best play revival are"Trouble in Mind," Alice Childress' play about a Broadway play that explores the racial divide in the 1950s, and"How I Learned to Drive," Vogel's Pulitzer Prize-winning memory play told by the survivor of childhood sexual abuse, starring two nominees: Mary-Louise Parker and David Morse.
The musical"Mrs. Doubtfire" earned only one nod, for Rob McClure, stepping into the Robin Williams role of an actor who poses as his children's portly, Scottish nanny in order to spend time with them after a divorce.
