#Theater awards

[notaseriousactor]

HATE the fact that the “less important” Tony’s (the tech awards) are thrown into a pre-show instead of being as important as best actor or show.

Without tech, there’d be no theater. THEY are the most important awards.

They are not the ones getting recognized at curtain or stage door. The Tonys are the only time they’re acknowledged by the common audience so put them in the main show with the energy, devotion, and love they deserve.

(Edit: as an actor myself, techies are literally my favorite people on the face of the earth)

[song-of-baldy-ron]

SO since everyone's doing a hot take on Cabaret

I have less issues with Eddie Redmayne's actual performance as the Emcee as I do with the entire staging/ role the Emcee plays as well as the rest of the Cabaret

My major issue comes in with how this production did the framing of the cabaret and audience as well as the ending of this show (SPOILER WARNING HERE)

According to recordings I've seen, reviews, and firsthand reports this adaptation turns the emcee into a sinister figure tempting and corrupting the audience/ other cabaret members into assimilating into the Nazi party, with the final song revealing most of the cast in beige outfits to embody their assimilation into the new fascist regime

ON THE SURFACE LEVEL I get it- we should all be on watchout to ensure we don't become supporters of a fascist ideology just because we want to escape reality or are somehow entranced by the (silly? circus-like?) vibes of the people holding the guns to our heads

But in reality and looking at the historical context, portraying the rest of the cabaret as eventual Nazis is a huge step backward from everything we've come to learn about Weimar Berlin and what historically happened to queer, neurodivergent, and political dissidents in addition to Jewish people during WW2.

This cast of characters wouldn't be the perpetrators of violence- in the best case scenario, they'd become perhaps complicit as bystanders or get out before shit went down, otherwise they were some of the first groups of people to be shipped off to camps/ extermination.

I absolutely think any good production of Cabaret should find a way to implicate its audience either directly or frame them as bystanders who did nothing to stop the rise of fascism. I also know the Sam Mendez version of the show is top of mind for most of us but I don't even think the original cast version with Joel Grey managed to swing as far as to implicate all of the Cabaret members themselves as direct perpetrators of Naziism. To me, that's a bridge too far to cross given the historical implications- there are better allegories you can make instead of making the countercultural ""sexual deviants"" and weirdos your enemy.

-water for elephants (one inspired by the song silver stars, the other by the big top of a circus)

-Illinoise (one inspired by the album cover with butterfly sprinkles, the other by the campfire)

-the notebook (two inspired by the color palettes of Noah and Allie, with a swirl of each other in each, and the other inspired by the album cover)

This has been one of my hyperfixations for a while and I love that it is becoming more popular lately

[musicals-and-moonlight]

people who watch the oscars: aww, that celebrity looks so pretty in that dress!

people who watch the tonys: I swear to god if they don’t win best leading actor in a musical I’m going to fucking MURDER SOMEONE

It's time for a showdown of the winners (and closest runners up) of all my Tony-winners-by-decade polls, or as I like to call it...

Previous closed polls: 50s - 60s - 70s - 80s - 90s - 00s - 10s

And for bonus points, in the tags put which shows you're angriest/most surprised didn't win for their respective decades

#BOYCOTTTONYS

For my pro Palestine theater kids

Since the Tony nominations was announced today, we will boycott this year's Tony Awards like we boycott the Oscars in past March

Ariana Debose who will hosted again this year's awards comes out as a Israel supporter from last October.

Like Ariana, some of your faves like Jonathan Groff, Josh Gad, Kristin Chenoweth and Jeremy Jordan are outed as supporter for Israel

I know it's quite devastating to hear who won or which musical won a Tony but we will rightfully boycott Tonys. It's very crucial.

Theater is form of activism and we theater kids to show our solidarity with the Palestinians.

Palestinians rightfully deserve to live and their land belongs to them

Theater kids for Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸!

[securityholograms]

taking 3-5 business days to process this. wow.

[reasonsforhope]

Here’s to some real-life New Directions! In one of the earliest awards handed out in the 76th Tony Awards telecast on CBS and Paramount+, history was made as Alex Newell became the first-ever openly non-binary actor to win a Tony award, in the Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical category, for their showstopping role as cornpone character Lulu in the musical comedy “Shucked.”

Then, in the show’s final hour, that record was upheld by nonbinary actor J. Harrison Ghee, who won the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical in the Marc Shaiman/Scott Wittman tuner “Some Like it Hot”, based on Billy Wilder’s classic 1950s comedy. Ghee, late of musicals such as “Kinky Boots” and “Mrs. Doubtfire”, was a favorite for their bold reimagining of the Jerry/Daphne role made famous by Jack Lemmon in the original film."
