The Craptacular Tumbles!

But does a Tony really fill a theater? Faster than, say, just making a good show or casting Ricky Martin?  Let’s look at capacities for this week and last in a few of the major show categories.

Last month Clybourne Park star Jeremy Shamos nabbed himself a well-deserved Tony Nomination for Best Featured Actor in a Play for his no-holds-barred performance as Karl Lindner/Steve. Between playing two characters every night and attending a gazillion awards ceremonies, Shamos took some time out to chat with us. Topics covered include: explaining acting to his children, growing up in Denver and attempting to tweet at The Fonz.

In a season of strong plays and strong performances in plays, you stood out and proved what we all already knew: you’ve got ridonkulous amounts of talent.

Nothing makes me happier than a season full of powerhouse female performances. My favorite this year? Brit Tracie Bennett as Judy Garland in End of the Rainbow.

You’ve had a pretty magical year, Mr. Jordan. And there may be more magic still to come, but no matter what else happens you have the Tony of My Heart.
