The day has arrived for people like me. The 2014 Tony Award Nominations were announced last week by Lucy Liu and Jonathan Groff, and it’s going to be an extremely tight race, probably even tighter than any other type of award this year. Nominations range from a show about The French Revolution to a Disney show about a street rat, from Neil Patrick Harris to Bryan Cranston. The announcement wasn’t without some upset, however as it was noted that Michelle Williams, Denzel Washington and Daniel Radcliffe (again) were all snubbed for brilliant performances. However, despite these upsets, many are pleased.

Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Patrick Stewart are always posting nerdy, bromantic pictures on Twitter; we love them for it. Now, Arthur Darvill, who famously played Rory Williams alongside Matt Smith and Karen Gillan in Doctor Who has performed something that has taken the internet by storm. by Laura W It’s a well known saying (and perhaps fact) that you can do more with film, than you can do on stage (however, there is the rare occurrence that you can do more on, and with, stage than you can on film - does The Phantom of the Opera ring a bell?). However, there are several occurrences in which the transition from screen to stage is a success. With the recent opening of Disney’s Aladdin in the Great White Way, let’s have a look at some of the best transitions. by Laura W What do awards season, 2014, Shakespeare, Sherlock Holmes and Neil Patrick Harris all have in common? Not a whole lot. Well, that’s not all true - they all involve the stage. Here’s a quick theatre round up for all those theatre nuts and if you’re a fan of Sherlock, you may want to pay attention. |
