Yes, that’s right, it’s almost that time of year again. Well, it will be that time in about 5 months. June 7th, to be exact.

This week Playbill.com announced the schedule for this year’s Tony Awards. The show itself will be a 3 hour long celebration aired on CBS and broadcast LIVE from Radio City Music Hall at 8pm EST.

Dates in relation to the event are as follows::

 

• April 30: Cut off-date for Tony eligibility. To be eligible for nomination for the 63rd Annual Tony Awards, Broadway shows must open on or before this date.

   

• May 5: The nominations for the 63rd Annual Tony Awards will be announced. Playbill.com will publish the complete list of nominees that morning. 
• May 6: The annual Meet the Nominees press reception, which allows members of the New York press to chat with those nominated for Tony Awards.

Yes, time has finally run out on Hairspray. This past Sunday (January 4th) marked the final performance of the fun, high-energy show, which had two of its OBC stars returning for its final weeks.

On the upside, the rights to this show will hopefully become available soon, which is good news for comunity theatres and high schools across the country!

One thing fans will have to look ahead to- a sequel to the movie version of this musical. How they will make it work, I have no idea, but somehow they will…

On a personal note, I ask that you please excuse my lack of posts and occasional incoherency. I just got back to school from winter break, and I am begining rehearsals for the spring musical, writing a murder mystery, studying for the HSPAs and SATS (sort-of), looking at colleges, and a lot of other things, like having a social life. This results in my checking playbill.com for updates when I am very tired, and not really in the mood to be typing up posts… Speaking of which, it is time for me to go to sleep….

Lots of Love,

Twitterings for the day, since WordPress doesn’t have a Twitter widget for me to use…

18:10 The plot thickens. PHANTOM: LOVE NEVER DIES takes place in Brooklyn’s Coney Island and will open in London, Broadway, and China all at once. #

18:14 14 shows leave NYC this month, but 17 are set to come into the city in 2009! This is good news, as it will also fill currently dark theatres in addition to the ones that are emptying this month. #
