The Director Sector

Congrats to Patti Lupone!  Took her 28 years, but she won again! Best Actress in a Musical Revival.  Great job!

I had heard lots of good things about all of the plays and musicals that were up for the Tony’s this year, but I’m ashamed to admit that I hadn’t had the opportunity to see any of them.  Yet I’m stoked.  I think the presentations were amazing and the performances by the actors and actresses in these dozens of plays and musicals were just absolutely phenomenal.

I was especially impressed with “In The Heights”, “Xanadu” (don’t laugh), and, oddly enough, “Grease”.  I was more impressed with the choreography for “Grease” than anything else.

I love the directing choices behind “The 39 Steps” with the switching of hats and such.  Absolutely brilliant.

I think I may try and take a trip to NYC later this Fall and see as many of these as I can.
