saying it now: if maria friedman doesn't get best director i'll leap out a window. her production of merrily is like the fucking mona lisa of musical theatre directing
There are only two reactions to Tony Award nominations and I’ll die on that hill. I find it funny that in the htdio fan group chat I’m normally the loud and angry person but I’m incredibly chill when it comes to the Tony’s. Meanwhile my normally calm friends fall into the “WHY DIDN’T XYZ SHOW GET NOMINATED, ABC SHOULDN’T HAVE GOTTEN NOMINATED!!!” type.
I actually used to be really opinionated on the Tony’s back in 2018-2019ish but now I’m just happy to celebrate theatre and see the performances. Of course I wish my favorite show this season- How To Dance In Ohio- got nominated, along with shows that opened and closed earlier this season, but everyone who did get nominated doesn’t deserve to be shat upon.
Very proud of everyone, cast, crew, and creatives, who put on excellent shows this season! And may the best show win!
