The Tony Awards are now less than a month away, and I've really been enjoying revisiting memories, cast albums, and even shows themselves since the nominations were announced! A few days ago I posted my thoughts on the Best Score, Book, Musicals and Plays. Today, here are my feelings in the acting categories.

Two of Broadway's most articulate Tony Award nominees, director George C. Wolfe and actress Holland Taylor, visit THEATER TALK to regale co-hosts Michael Riedel of the New York Post and Susan Haskins with tales of their careers and background on their current shows - Lucky Guy starring Tom Hanks, directed by Wolfe at the Broadhurst, and Ann, which Taylor wrote and stars in at the Vivian Beaumont.

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?

ANN, the new critically acclaimed play written and performed by Emmy Award-winning actress Holland Taylor and directed by Benjamin Endsley Klein, has been extended through Sunday, September 1, 2013, on Broadway at Lincoln Center's Vivian Beaumont Theater (150 West 65 Street). A new prom for the show has just been released, featuring Tony Award nominee Holland Taylor, and you can check it out below!
