“Stereophonic,” the critically lauded play about a 1970s band, and Alicia Keys’ semi-autobiographical musical lead the Tony noms—with notable snubs for other stars and shows.
, about a 1970s band rehearsing and combusting in an atmospherically rendered recording studio, each picked up 13 nominations Tuesday, leading the contenders for theater-land’s Oscars which will be televised on CBS on June 16.Steve Carell—his co-star William Jackson Harper beat him to the nomination instead.
The Best Musical category was the most competitive, and the most potentially critical when it comes to the survival of shows. There were 15 eligible musical productions, with no standout critical or audience favorite. 10 of the 15 shows are still running, and so the continued life of the five/six shows locked out of contention—and all the publicity and public awareness that being a Tony nominee brings with it—immediately becomes that bit more perilous.
Now the race begins: expect to see lots of dance numbers on morning TV, and the most boldface of nominees on any chat show their reps can book. It is always a vigorous, competitive race, as shows and nominees seek to make an indelible impression on both voters and audiences.
