“A Strange Loop” Sashays To The Top Of The 2022 Tony Award Nominations
The 2021 Tony Awards were as novel as the COVID-19 coronavirus which resulted in a truncated season that left Moulin Rouge star Aaron Tveit as the only actor nominated in his category. *Spoiler alert* He won. But this year, Broadway told that bitch Rona, “we’ll do it live, fuck it!” and came back swinging for the 2022 season. Today, the Tony Award nominations were announced, and sadly, Neil Patrick Harris was snubbed for his role in Inside Inside Edition: The Bill O’Reilly Story: The Musical. But that’s probably because A Strange Loop, the Pulitzer-Prize winning musical by Michael R. Jackson, that has an entire number devoted to reading Tyler Perry for filth, gobbled up 11 nominations including Best Musical, Best Original Score, Best Book of a Musical, Best Performance in a leading role for newcomer Jaquel Spivey and Best Performance in a Featured role for John-Andrew Morrison. So really, Madea should be on her hands and knees thanking Michael R. for getting her as close to a Tony Award, and a Pulitzer, as she’ll ever get.
Scott Rudin Has Announced That He’ll Be Stepping Back From Several Projects In The Wake Of Numerous Abuse Allegations
Well what do you know, something has finally been done about Scott Rudin, the ubiquitous entertainment industry producer who was revealed to be an alleged nightmare to work for by multiple traumatized former employees. After The Hollywood Reporter published their exposé on Scott’s reported behavior, I expected Broadway might be the first to turn up the house lights on his career and announce it was time for Scott to take an early intermission, if you will. Because the cherry on top of an already bad year, would be watching the audience cringe as they read the words, “Produced by Scott Rudin” in their Playbill. But Scott beat everyone to it, by acknowledging the allegations against him, and announcing that he was leaving several productions.
