The Coast of Utopia and Spring Awakening won the top honors at The 52nd Annual Drama Desk Awards, which were presented on Sunday, May 20 at the F.H. LaGuardia Concert Hall at Lincoln Center!
Beth Leavel and James Naughton announced the nominees for the 2007 Drama Desk Awards this morning at The Friar's Club. The awards will take place on Sunday, May 20th at the F. H. LaGuardia Concert Hall.
This summer the Watermill Theatre in Newbury will revisit the Boublil/Schonberg musical, 'Martin Guerre', which will play from July 11 to September 1. The show will be directed by Craig Revel-Horwood, who was at the helm of last summer's critically acclaimed staging of 'The Hot Mikado' in Newbury. Musical direction will be handled by Tony award winner, Sarah Travis, who - along with former Watermill guru, John Doyle - pioneered the actor/singer/musician style of musical theatre at the Watermill, notably with the production of Sondheim's 'Sweeney Todd', which eventually found its way to Broadway in 2005.
To coincide with the play's 50th anniversary, Lee Evans and Jason Isaacs will star in a major West End revival of Harold Pinter's classic comedy of menace, The Dumb Waiter.
