    OHMYGOD HEY!
    Last week, the nominees were announced for the 2023 TONY Awards - the annual ceremony celebrating achievement in plays and musicals on Broadway.
    While some shows like SOME LIKE IT HOT, SHUCKED, KIMBERLY AKIMBO and LEOPOLDSTADT attained many nominations, others were shut out completely including A BEAUTIFUL NOISE, THE THANKSGIVING PLAY and BAD CINDERELLA.
    In today's new video I'm talking through all of the snubbed performers, shows and creatives from this year's nominations - comment down below with the omission that shocked you the most!

    I was very sad Peter Pan Goes Wrong didn't get a single nomination, Mischief are absolutely brilliant, also massively surprised Philippa Soo didn't get nominated for either Camelot or Into The Woods! It is insane how many new productions of plays there have been this past year though, there have been 23 in total (17 new, 6 revivals) which has to be a record! Acting categories for plays this year were always going to be crazy competitive, so there were always going to be some major snubs.

    No one should be surprised that "Bad Cinderella" was shut out. The score and orchestrations are a knockoff of Rogers & Hammerstein's "Cinderella".

    It’s so sad the negative impact the Tony’s have on shows that are snubbed. I saw Dancin’ last week & I’m not usually a fan of plotless musicals, but I thought it was really good and I wish more people could see it. I also enjoyed Bad Cinderella. It definitely should have been nominated for costumes if nothing else. So glad I have tickets to see it once more before it closes.

    • @accountforwastingtime
      @accountforwastingtime Год назад

      I agree, this is so weird to me. Shows don't get cancelled because they aren't Emmy nominated. Artists aren't taken off tour if they don't get a grammy nod. I imagine a huge majority of tourists deciding to see a show on Broadway have no idea what got Tony nominated or not(and for int'l tourists what the Tony awards even are!). General theatre goers see shows they either know they will enjoy cause it's their favs or ones they heard about and are excited about. I genuinely don't understand Broadway shows being cancelled for Tony snubs.

    • @keikekaze
      @keikekaze Год назад +4

      Dancin' was a commercial failure that could not possibly have turned a profit on Broadway. Its weekly grosses kept demonstrating that. That's why it closed. It's exactly the same situation with Bad Cinderella. The Tonys didn't kill either of them. They had already failed commercially before the Tony noms were announced.

      @markkoehr5003 Год назад

      @@accountforwastingtime Shows don’t get canceled because of Tony snubs. Wicked lost the best musical Tony to Avenue Q and look at where both shows are now. Wicked is one of the most successful musicals in the world, and the 4th longest running show in Broadway history. Avenue Q isn’t.
      Shows don’t just decide to close because of being snubbed at the Tonys, they have to already be failing financially. A Tony nom/award has the potential to save a struggling show because they are great for publicity and can boost interest and ticket sells.
      This is all more important for Broadway than television or music, because audiences can want tv or listen to an album anywhere they want. Theatre is an inherently exclusive medium because you have to actually be where the theatre it so see it. And if you want to see a Broadway show, you have to actually been in NYC.

    This year's Broadway shows were an excess of amazing shows and talent. I think the tightest category is Supporting Actor in a musical. However, the Christian Borle nom is a wasted nomination. Andrew Burnap's performance as King Arthur deserved to be recognized. He had a wonderful character arc that you don't often see with that show.

    I always see, even in the UK, a familiar tendency to favour harder, more emotionally vulnerable shows and we’ve seen this happen again and again. In one way, I understand due to the stronger, mature natures that all actors within them need to express and the recognition for a heart-breaking story such as Parade seems appropriate. However, I do feel greatly for Peter Pan Goes Wrong, I’ve seen the cast in London a few times now and the intricacies, the hours and hours in order to make everything ‘fail’ without error or injury is utterly incredible. There is no reason for this, if anyone remembers SpongeBob: the Musical getting tonnes of nominations, (which I adore as simply a fun production) then you’ll know this can’t be a coincidence. What a shame!

    At the performance I went to Gavin completely broke Stephanie J Block during Moment in the Woods. Gavin tried to go into a hug to help Stephanie cover and she started laughing so hard she was visibly shaking, at which point he waved and exited the song early to massive applause from the audience.
    He then very nearly broke Cinderella during the breakup scene a little later on.

    I was able to see several musicals and plays in November. Although Carolee Carmella was amazing in 1776, she was not the standout performance in the show. I was surprised that Jefferson Mays was not nominated but wondered if people felt it was a trope as he played many characters (I thought it was amazing how he changed his mannerisms and voice in an instant). Gaten Matarazzo made me rethink Parade. I loved the music growing up but never saw a performance before the Encores production. Instead of being a biopic on the Franks, I left thinking that a more accurate title that would not sell tickets would be “How to Make a Racist.” Also, Michael Arden should have been nominated for a Christmas Carol. Every part of that production flowed together to tell a cohesive story.

    I was GOBSMACKED that Dancin’ was shut out. How does a show entirely about the artistic statements of a legendary choreographer NOT receive a Tony nom for choreography??? Wayne Cilento is a well known Bway vet who originated the role of Mike in ACL and was in the original Bway production of Dancin’. And there’s precedent - Ann Reinking was nominated for updating Fosse’s original choreo. JUST like Cilento did for Dancin; he didn’t just repeat Fosse’s choreo, as some have suggested. I saw both shows and can confirm this fact. So to me, this snub raises suspicion about potential political motives at play.

    Great commentary. I've seen most of the shows, and I thought the Tony nominators mostly got it right. Basically, it was a great Broadway season, and there were just not enough nominations to go around. Having said that:
    -- Bettina Miller, not Sara Bareilles, should have been nominated for lead performance by an actress in a musical. Sara was good but not great.
    -- Adrianna Hicks was deservedly unrecognized. She can sing and dance, but her acting consisted of merely saying her lines. Her performance doesn't stack up against the other nominations (including Bareilles').
    -- Philippa Soo was amazing as Cinderella in Into the Woods. If the show were still running, I think she would have gotten the nomination (but then she wouldn't be appearing in Camelot, in which she is also very good, if not quite nomination worthy). Ditto for Gavin Creel.
    -- Andrew Burnap was amazing as King Arthur in Camelot. I was disappointed that he wasn't recognized, but it's a stacked category (they all are, pretty much).
    -- Sharon D. Clarke was great in Death of a Salesman and brought new things to the role. Having said that, it's a weird role and one that doesn't get a lot of love from New York critics.
    -- Laura Linney was very good in Summer, 1976, but Hecht's performance was more surprising. I wasn't surprised that she got the nomination.
    -- The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window is getting more attention than it deserves because of the two leads and the playwright's stature. The production was not great.
    -- And finally, I think New York critics (and Tony nominators) may have a bias against transplanted shows. None of the West End transfers performed as well as expected, and neither did Goodnight, Oscar, which was very roundly praised in Chicago.
    Again, there was just too much good work and not enough recognition to go around. I guess we should be thankful for that.

  • @keikekaze

    The effect of Tony awards/nominations on Broadway runs is actually pretty minimal. Generally speaking, the Best New Musical Tony is the only one that can cause its winner to run longer than it otherwise might have. And, I repeat, you have to **win** it to get the benefit of it; just being nominated for it won't help you. Otherwise, Broadway shows that enjoy long runs do so because they were already hits, with or without a Tony. And other Broadway shows close immediately after the Tony nominations are announced because they were already (commercial) failures anyway, and only desperately hanging on until the Tony nominations were announced. When they don't get one, they close. The Tonys don't kill those shows; they were already commercial failures anyway. The Tonys (except possibly for the Best New Musical Tony) don't turn flops into hits, and the absence of a Tony doesn't turn a hit into a flop.

    This video will be double in length next year if they de gender the acting categories since they will have half the nominees. A major pitfall to having one acting category for all genders. Unless they plan on having the same amount of nominees which is something no other theatrical award show has done with the de gendered categories. It would mean less tv time but also would lessen the impact of the tony awards since those nominations can help sustain shows. Just my thoughts. Not trying to state that non binary and Trans performers shouldn't be made to feel comfortable but as Alex Newell stated in an interview: this isn't an easily fixed problem.

      He's definitely using "snub" loosely to refer to anyone who was not nominated, versus the more traditional use where a snub should only single out a very select (and small) list of people, and there would seem to be some large disagreements over one's merits.

    As prestigious as the Tony awards are, do you think the trophy needs a major upgrade? After all, it’s basically a coin or medal on a spindle on an acrylic base, later marble to give it some weight but didn’t add any aesthetic improvements. It was originally presented inside a velvet-lined jewelry case while other trophies like the Olivier, Emmy, SAG, BAFTA & Oscar or even the fictional Sarah Siddons awards from All About Eve are much more substantial sculptural figures. Let’s be honest, as much as we all love theater, it always looked cheap & in many photo ops with the winners looked more like participation trophies in grade school as well as the image on the coin is often too tiny & lost in the photos. Even Patty Lupone once made a snide remark, when she was snubbed a nomination & at her best snarky moment, that it was a plastic award.
    Or does it needs to stay as is because Tradition is more important than photo ops?

  • @BrendanClifford

    i am always a bit bothered by the liberal use of the word "snub" when nominations come out. (not just you, everyone does it) I think it's very rare to have the non-nominating of a performance be worthy of the harsh implications of the word snub -- "snub" is more often applicable when a production or writing is not nominated, like Aida or Camelot for Best Musical, or Forum for Best Score. To snub is to purposefully ignore or exclude. To "not have been nominated" is not to have been "snubbed". They usually don't choose NOT TO nominate... they choose TO nominate, and by secret ballot. Snub implies not only that there was a will or active decision (individual, by enough individual committee members, or collectively--which isn't how it works) to exclude someone who may have deserved a nom, but also implies that the non-nominated person/production *is* worthy of nomination, is considered as such by the majority, AND is worthy for a nom *over* at least one of the ones who got it. I always want whoever says "snubbed" to say who among the nominees should be left off to make room for the supposedly snubbed person. A performance that just won the Olivier not being nominated for a Tony is more reasonable to call a snub than one that just didn't make the cut.

    To "snub" someone or something is a conscious act. By claiming that so many shows and show personnel were "snubbed," are you suggesting that the 830-some eligible Tony voters got together somewhere and decided who would and who would not get nominations? If so, that would be collusion on a massive scale. What I'm saying is: There was no "snubbing." Some people and shows got nominations, and others didn't. It's just the luck of the draw.
