The 73rd Annual Tony Awards is considered Broadway’s biggest night. With James Corden as host, this year’s award show could bring down the house.
Theater lovers are ready to tune into the 73rd Annual Tony Awards. From the musical numbers to the special guest appearances, this award show blends the theatrics of the stage with glamour. Who will walk away with the biggest prize in theater?
Returning as host for a second time is James Corden. The Late Late Show host is a smart choice for the award show. While there won’t be carpool karaoke, Corden should definitely have an impressive opening number. It will be curious to see if the number is a montage or just a single song.
Beyond Corden’s performance, the performances from the nominated shows are part of the reason theater fans watch. While all the best musical nominees will perform, it could be hard to pick a favorite performance.
Beetlejuice will impress with its visuals and humorous take. Most likely, this musical will showcase its opening number. That song should set the tone for all the other performances.
As the most nominated musical, Hadestown is the performance that non-theater goers should watch. This concept and music pushes theater forward. While referencing Greek mythology, the songs and performances are totally engaging.
Where the musicals can be the showstoppers, the plays have familiar faces and topics. From the stage adaptation of the iconic To Kill A Mockingbird to the timely Network, many of the plays offer commentary on today’s volatile world.
Unlike previous years, this Tony Award show might not draw the occasion theater goer or watcher. The big name, hot topic show or controversial performance seems to be missing. Even though live theater is still popular, a little more presence in pop culture could make the environment more exciting.
