What should win at the TonyAwards on Sunday? Helen_E_Shaw, McHenryJD, and devonsaysrelax discuss
Vote for them! Photo-Illustration: Vulture; Photos by Marc J. Franklin, Joan Marcus and Chad Batka On Sunday, the Tony Awards will try to reassert normalcy in 2022. Everything is fine, the awards will say — hoping to distract a shaky Broadway from the wave of recently announced closings. But there is a lot of good news. According to some metrics, we have actually managed to have something approximating a “regular” season. Shows opened and audiences returned, if tentatively.
H.S.: After watching Mr. Saturday Night I would absolutely nominate Billy Crystal for Best Lead Actor … in a play. The fact that the show was a musical was just a sad oversight. D.I.: I agree with both of you on Jaquel. He was amazing. Weirdly, this got me thinking about the biggest applause, or freaking out, or whatever you want to call it, I’ve seen this season. It was at The Music Man, when Hugh Jackman reveals himself at the end of the opening number, “Rock Island.”
J.M.: The women of Six. For nomination eligibility, they decided they were all to be considered “Lead,” since each has almost exactly one-sixth of the show. Each queen gets a starring moment, but no one of them is really the lead — and so none of them got nominated.D.I.: It’s got to be The Minutes ensemble. They jelled so well. Also, The Lehman Trilogy. Hell, it’s three chaps playing 100 years’ worth of people for three and a half hours. That deserves a special mention.
J.M.: I love Julie White for POTUS. She throws it all against the wall and holds it all together. She also just has a very fun Instagram presence — it’s always her dog with Rachel Dratch or a selfie she’s trying to send to John Benjamin Hickey.J.M.: I also loved Gabby Beans in The Skin of Our Teeth. Vocally, she does this Eartha Kitt–style mid-Atlantic voice when she’s playing the maid, then switches to a regular 2022 affect while she vapes. It was hilarious to me every time.
D.I.: And Adam Godley in The Lehman Trilogy! I will never forget him doing the Twist in that show; it was my favorite moment of the entire season. D.I.: Best Use of Clothing was POTUS. Vanessa Williams in stiletto Crocs — we got to give them their due. Just fabulous.H.S.: My problem with the Company set is my problem with Company in general, which is that it was the least New York–y version of Company possible. Those rooms don’t exist in New York.
