We're less than a week away from the 2020 Tony Awards ceremony (finally!) so I wanted to bring back this special episode all about those surprising Tony Award Nominations and the fallout that came from the announcement. My conversation is with music director, conductor, and fellow podcaster Nate Patton. Nate and I first met when he was associate conducting Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on Broadway. And his podcast called Booked It.
The title to one of his episodes on his podcast, Booked It was “Broadway is broken and I alone can fix it.” It's this kind of witty, tongue-in-cheek, knowledgeable opinion that I wanted to bring on the show as we talk about things like:
- The lone best actor nomination of Aaron Tveit
- The complete snubbing of The Lightning Thief
- How only plays were nominated for best original score
