I Tony Awards 2019 sono alle porte e anche quest’anno i nominati sono tantissimi. Tra i più quotati Hadestown, Ain’t Too Proud, The Ferryman e All My Sons. L’appuntamento con la festa di premiazione è lunedì 10 giugno dal Radio City Music Hall di New York City.
Anche quest’anno sono arrivate inesorabili le nominations per i Tony Awards, il premio che celebra il talento degli attori e la bellezza di opere teatrali e musical che sono stati portati in scena al Broadway Theatre.
Il 2019 vede capeggiare nella categoria musical, con ben 14 nominations, Hadestown, il musical che racconta una versione molto particolare della mitologia greca. A seguire, sempre con un altissimo numero di nominations, rispettivamente 12 e 11, troviamo Ain’t Too Proud – The Life and Times of the Temptations e Tootsie, apprezzatissimo da molti critici. Con 9 nominations possiamo vedere The Ferryman, che ha ricevuto anche un cenno nella categoria miglior recitazione superando anche To Kill a Mockingbird e Network, è lo spettacolo che racconta la storia di un ex agente dell’IRA, il cui passato burrascoso torna a fargli visita.
Nella categoria miglior revival di un’opera troviamo All My Sons, una riflessione sulla capacità di Arthur Miller di definire il capitalismo e i suoi effetti deleteri, The Boys in the Band un dramma che racconta di un gruppo di amici omosessuali, Burn This, un’opera drammatica che racconta la storia di una coppia costretta ad affrontare un grave lutto, Torch Song, la storia di una drag queen ebrea e The Waverly Gallery, una storia allegra che parla del rapporto che lega un ragazzo e la nonna di questo.
Tra le migliori attrici protagoniste in un’opera teatrale troviamo Annette Bening, Laura Donnelly, Elaine May, Janet McTeer, Laurie Metcalf e Heidi Schreck. Mentre nella categoria musical possiamo notare Stephanie J. Block, Caitlin Kinnunen, Beth Leavel, Eva Noblezada e Kelli O’Hara. Tra gli attori candidati, invece, troviamo nella lista di quelli che hanno interpretato il ruolo centrale di un’opera Paddy Considine, Bryan Cranston, Jeff Daniels, Adam Driver e Jeremy Pope. Nella categoria musical, poi, Brooks Ashmanskas, Derrick Baskin, Alex Brightman, Damon Daunno e Santino Fontana.
