“Yesterday, the Tony Awards nominations were announced. While there were many certainties of who would hear their name called, there were plenty of surprises and snubs. Here are some of my thoughts on the nominations.”

“OnStage Blog had the pleasure to speak to Brent Black, creator, and composer of the new musical “Khan!!! The Musical”, coming to The Players Theatre in New York City.”

“A critic is under fire for racist comments he wrote in a review of the Broadway-bound revival of ‘The Secret Garden’. The comments included criticizing the casting of black actors, stating that one of them ‘looks and acts like he should be rafting with Huck and Jim down the Mississippi.’”

“James Barbour admitted to sexually abusing a teenage girl on multiple occasions. Yet, there he was, being welcomed back with open arms by an industry that should have exiled him permanently.”

“According to a report by Rolling Stone, actor F. Murray Abraham was fired from the Apple TV series, “Mythic Quest”, after multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.”

“If you told me last fall that a musical about corn could likely be the favorite heading into the Tony Awards, I would not have believed you. But after hearing the buzz about Shucked, the new musical that opened on Broadway on April 4th, that may be the reality as we get closer to the award ceremony.”

“In an effort to share more quality options, here are five top musical theatre programs that we have rarely, if ever, seen on other ranking lists. Each is incredible in its own way.”

“The musical appears to be in good hands with a true Star Trek fan.”

“St. Martin could have shown empathy. That’s what good spokespeople are supposed to do. Instead, if anything, she was defiant over the current business model that works for the rich and doesn’t work for everyone else.”

“Melissa Barak has been a force of nature since she first burst on the classical dance scene in the ‘90’s. But Barak took an unusual trajectory to unique stardom, not simply breaking down walls but walking through them as if they weren’t there in the first place.”

“Advocate for yourself. If something isn't working for you, speak up. Your average administrator doesn't know what you need unless you tell them.”

In news that surprises no one but should disgust everyone, a high school in the conservative state of Indiana has canceled a high school production that contained LGBTQ+ themes as well as non-binary characters. School administrators cited the move was made due to "safety concerns for the students involved."
