Today we are kicking off BroadwayWorld's 2013 Tony Awards Clip Countdown with a special spotlight focused on the nominees for this year's big, big show as we look ahead to the 2013 Tony Awards - Broadway's biggest night - on Sunday, June 9, on CBS! The dynamic divas and devos of KINKY BOOTS - say 'Yeah!' - to the assortment of pre-adolescents populating MATILDA; the persuasive charms of the circus-themed revival of PIPPIN to the re-imagined Rodgers & Hammerstein world of CINDERELLA; to say nothing of the tremendous dramatic and comedic performances in plays like LUCKY GUY, THE ASSEMBLED PARTIES, VONYA AND SONYA AND MASCHA AND SPIKE and THE NANCE, to name but a few - the 2012-2013 Broadway season has been filled with fabulous performances and star-making turns. But, the primary question on everyone's lips along the Great White Way is who will take home top honors on Tony night?
Main Street Theater is closing their excellent 38th season with the wildly entertaining, often hilarious, and deeply moving CLOSE UP SPACE by Molly Smith Metzler. The zany dramadey is a Susan Smith Blackburn Prize Finalist and had its world premiere in 2011 in a Manhattan Theatre Club staging at New York City Center Stage I. This premiere production received mixed reviews that all seemed to get too caught up on the idea that the premise isn't entirely original.
