Last year, Broadway shining star Kara Young made Tony Awards history. Her nomination for the play Purlie Victorious was her third in as many years, as she previously received recognition for The Cost of Living and Clyde’s.

In all of Tony Awards history, there has never once been a season in which three performers have been nominated for Best Actor in a Play for Shakespearean roles. That could very well change this year, as both Othello and Romeo and Juliet were revived this season boasting three major stars: Jake Gyllenhaal and Denzel Washington in the former, and Kit Connor in the latter. If all three receive nominations, it would mark a historic first.

Despite all the technological innovation on display in PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY, and there is much novel in its approach to cameras on stage, it is Sarah Snook's unvarnished performance that is most stunning.

I was quite charmed by the endlessly witty OPERATION MINCEMEAT, with its immediately catchy score and über-energetic ensemble. Its farcical moments worked beautifully for me; its slapstick and preening, less so. Then there's Jak Malone's "Dear Bill," the absolute heart of it all. https://t.co/nBamCxP8AT
