Y’all I have been watching the brilliance of @theebillyporter for decades when we were in the trenches on Broadway. He’s always been authentically and unapologetically himself which I can appreciate and respect in a business where folks can get brand new overnight😉. After decades of hard work and dedication to the LGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈 community my boy is being honored with a star ⭐️ on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. What a magnanimous honor for a young boy from Pittsburgh who just wanted to be accepted for his authentic self. You did it Billy! Proud of you😉 #broadway #posefx #praytell #kinkyboots #smokeyjoescafe #misssaigon #grease #angelsinamerica https://www.instagram.com/p/By-kqc6HW2O/?igshid=1jkbxxbllyay2

Musical Monday

1995 was one of those off years that we just don’t talk about, with regards to the Tony Awards, that is. With only two musicals up for Best Musical, there wasn’t much competition going on. Furthermore, only two musicals were up for Best Revival of a Musical. And all four musicals have been highlighted on this segment of the blog already. So, this week is a little hybrid-1995 highlight post, because what would Monday be without a little Musical love? Enjoy!

Musical Monday date: 1/14/2019

Musicals: Sunset Boulevard competed against Smokey Joe’s Cafe, and won. The revival of Show Boat was up against the revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and won!

Sunset Boulevard: Not only did it win Best Musical, but it rocked the Tonys this year with six wins. Glenn Close won for Best Actress in a Musical, George Hearn won for Best Featured Actor in a Musical, in addition to various technical and writing wins.

Smokey Joe’s Cafe: The little revue that could, received seven nominations, but took home no wins. But that’s okay, it did enjoy a 2,036 show run.

Show Boat: Of the ten nominations it received, Gretha Boston was the sole acting winner, for Best Featured Actress in a Musical. Susan Stroman stood strong as the winning choreographer, and Harold Prince took home another Tony to add to his collection, this time for Best Direction of a Musical. And, of course, the iconic Florence Klotz had Tony-winning glory for her glorious costumes.

How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying: Only four nominations could be spared for this Pulitzer-winning musical. However, Matthew Broderick certainly knew how to succeed this season as being the sole Tony winner for his production, which was as the Best Actor in a Musical. 

There ya have it! 1996 will be a little more rewarding of a year, I swear! But now you have some fun Tony facts to chew on for the week. Now go pick up a few of these cast recordings and give them a listen. Until next week, keep happy and go see a show!
