BROADWAY DIVAS SUPERLATIVES: And the Tony Goes to...

All five Tony nominees for Best Score have released cast albums* that are available to stream wherever you get your music. (For me that is the handy dandy "youtube-to-mp3" route. Links to each will be below the cut, in addition to single song highlights.

Sorry now that I've started New York Posting I can't stop but:

Little Tonys wishlist I wrote in a fugue state last night! Just centered around the shows I saw in person.

Stereophonic: it's gonna get in everywhere I think and probably sweep BUT all the actors are in Featured Actor in a Play and it's slowly killing me. I think Sarah Pidgeon's definitely getting in, maybe Juliana Canfield, and I think at least one of Tom Pecinka, Eli Gelb, and Will Brill are getting in. I thought before that they might bump Sarah and Tom up to lead, but now they're all in Featured it's really interesting/stressful (delete as appropriate). Previously I would have said Eli gets in and maybe Will, and Tom can mix it with the big lads, but now I'm wondering if Tom gets in just because Peter is almost the biggest role in the show, and then probably Eli because he already has another nom (can't remember which awards body it is, sorry). I think Eli and Will both getting in and not Tom would be super harsh, but I wouldn't be surprised if that did happen. Would love Will Butler to get into Score too, and I'm feeling reasonably optimistic about that!

Merrily: again it's getting in everywhere and probably sweeping. I wouldn't be shocked if all three leads won in the end: Groff Lead, and Lindsay Mendez and Daniel Radcliffe both Featured. I'm not super familiar with how stacked Featured is for Musicals, but I think Krystal Joy Brown and Katie Rose Clarke are both fab so would love if one of them snuck in. I also saw someone talking about Reg Rogers getting into Featured if the nominators really go for Merrily, which would be fun, but I have a feeling Featured Actor in a Musical is gonna be too busy, particularly since Illinoise haven't got anyone in Lead.

Enemy of the People: Strong's getting in and I would say probably the frontrunner for Lead? I think it's getting in for Revival too but I think Sam Gold might be on slightly shaky ground, which I'd say is fair given how strong Director of a Play is this year. I think Imperioli too, but I'd love there to be space for Caleb Eberhardt, although I can't imagine there will be.

Appropriate: again super strong, I think it's going to get a whole bunch of nominations. Lead Actress is a barnburner this year: Paulson v Lange v McAdams is going to be such a good race, and I think the general consensus is that the production is the runaway favourite for Revival, which is great. Featured Actor in a Play haunts me: everyone seems to be predicting Corey Stoll and not Michael Esper, but yesterday Time Out New York had Esper in their own picks (not predictions), and he got a Drama Desk nom and Corey Stoll didn't. I'm crossing every single digit I have that this holds out and we get Michael Esper Tony nominee! He's one of my favourite actors and (bias aside) I think he's so fantastic in Appropriate, and the more deserving of the two (sorry Corey).

Side note: didn't get to see Days of Wine and Roses as it had CLOSED by the time I got to NYC (I'm looking at you, everyone who didn't buy tickets), but Brian and Kelli are locks for Lead, and I'd love it to get in in Musical and Score. I think Brian v Groff and Kelli v everyone else are going to be very interesting races!!

Vote for Chappell Roan for Best New Artist and PUSH Performance of The Year

cuz frankly, I'm tired of seeing heteros constantly winning everything!

Other than that, Chappell deserves it. If you watch her live performances, you'll hear that she's a really amazing singer. She's the only artist I know of that's not afraid to write and sing songs about exclusive lesbian experiences! She's talented. She deserves to win.

263 - A Good Year

After the Oscar and box office success of Gladiator, director/star duo of Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe decided to reunite in 2006 for a very different kind of film, A Good Year. Starring Crowe as a finance bro who returns to the French vineyard of his beloved but estranged and now deceased uncle (played by Albert Finney), the film offered Scott the chance to shoot a film close to home and stretch himself into comedy. With Marion Cotillard as Crowe's love interest and Abbie Cornish as the uncle's rightful heir, Scott's fledgling comedy chops resulted in a misfire and one of the biggest bombs of his career.

This episode, we discuss the Ridley Scott post-Best Picture filmography and the 2006 Best Actor race. We also look at Cotillard's Oscar win during a strike year, Cornish's world-traveling dialects, and the 2006 TIFF Galas.

Topics also include Industry, a former lost episode, and Buffalo voice.
