Theatre nerds across the U.S.A are getting ready for the 71st Tony Awards. Many are placing their bets to who will rack up the most awards. The Tony Awards will be held on June 11th, televised live on CBS.


For best musical, the four nominees are:

Dear Evan Hansen

Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812

Come From Away

and Groundhog Day the Musical


For best play, the nominees are:

Oslo

A Doll's House, Part 2

Sweat

and Indecent


My bets to rack up the awards Sunday night? Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812. While I have not been able to see it, (Broadway is expensive, people) I have listened to the cast recording and have watched any and all clips online. The show looks absolutely fantastic and I suggest everyone listen to the recording when they have a chance.

Dear Evan Hansen has also been given high praise and will likely win a few Tonys as well. The music is beautiful. "You Will be Found" is my favorite song from the recording.

I sadly have only seen one of the shows nominated this year (as stated earlier, Broadway is expensive) but I was able to win lottery tickets to Groundhog Day which fully exceeded my expectations. If you are able to get a hold of some cheap tickets to see the show, I can tell you it was very enjoyable and I fully recommend you go and see it.

If you are able to get a hold of tickets to the other nominated shows and are looking for someone to share them with, hit me up!

Hosting the Tony Awards this year will be Kevin Spacey. To all those who enjoy theatre, tune into the Tony Awards.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
