AND THE RACE IS ON!!!
The nominations are:
OUTER CRITICS CIRCLE opens the gate
DRAMA DESK another early break ………
And the much revered TONYS take the lead
As usual the OCC
is the vox populi honoring
both on and off Broadway shows separately in a fair and democratic overview of
the season.
The Drama
Desk aspires to do same but goes further by combining both on
and off Broadway shows competing with each other in each category which somehow
limits each, and many worthwhile Broadway productions get squeezed out in favor
of smaller sometimes obscure shows.
(this year To
Kill A Mockingbird was overlooked)
Nevertheless if you compare graphs of the influence of these and
Drama Desk nominations on the Tonys they seem almost identical.
The industry run Tonys
are the Oscars of theater. A Tony award can be used as
imprimatur to promote a show throughout the country and even abroad generating
millions in income. Ditto for the recipients in every category. The phrase
“Tony award winner” changes lives more than any other award
The 2018-19 season.
What does today's news mean for the rest of awards
season? Does love from the Outer Critics Circle usually mean that a Tony
nomination will follow?
Below, BroadwayWorld investigates how many Outer
Critics Circle nominees of the past were subsequently nominated for Tony
Awards. Additionally, we calculated the percentage of eligible nominees
(discounting off-Broadway nominees) who earned Tony nominations in the past ten
years. Check out the chances that this year's OCC nominees have at a Tony nod
below!

Award-winning actor Michael Urie (Torch Song, Buyer and
Cellar, "Ugly Betty") will host The 64th Annual Drama Desk Awards,
Sunday, June 2 at 8PM at The Town Hall in New York City. This marks Urie's
fourth consecutive time hosting the ceremony.
The Drama Desk Awards, which are presented annually, honor
outstanding achievement by professional theater artists on Broadway,

of youth: Purva Bedi, Eboni Booth, Camila Canó-Flaviá, Dina Shihabi, Ellen
Maddow, Christina Rouner, Thomas Jay Ryan, Lucy Taylor, and Ikechukwu Ufomadu.
Sam Norkin
Award: To Montana Levi Blanco, who enriched this season with his vibrant
and detailed costumes for Fairview, The House That Will Not Stand, Fabulation,
Or the Re-Education of Undine, Eddie and Dave, "Daddy," and Ain't No
Mo'. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a Blanco costume is worth
considerably more, telling us a complete story about its wearer while giving us
something fabulous to look at.
To Mia Katigbak, the backbone of the Off-Broadway scene, we
acclaim her for her performances this season in Henry VI: Shakespeare's Trilogy
in Two Parts, The Trial of the Catonsville Nine, Peace for Mary Francis and
Recent Alien Abductions. This award also recognizes her vital presence as the
artistic director of NAATCO and her sustained excellence as a performer and
mentor.
To Repertorio Español for presenting a year-round rotating
repertory of new and classic Spanish-language plays in its intimate Gramercy
venue. For the past 51 years, Repertorio has been an indispensable theater for
Spanish-speaking audiences, while inviting non-Spanish-speaking theatergoers to
discover the delights of the Spanish-language canon and introducing New York
audiences to the work of actors like Zulema Clares and Germán Jaramillo.
