Tony Award Nominations! "Some Like It Hot" leads

by Nathaniel R

Christian Borle and J Harrison Ghee are 2 of "Some Like It Hot"'s 13 nominations

Lea Michele, still treading the boards in Funny Girl, and Myles Frost who won Best Actor in a Musical last season for the Michael Jackson musical "MJ" announced the Tony Award nominations this morning honoring the current season on Broadway. The nomination leader, far out front, was the musical adaptation of movie classic Some Like It Hot (review coming soon!) with 13 nominations. Jessica Chastain scored her first Tony nominations (with her second Broadway show) though other screen stars weren't as lucky this year. Though the Tony Awards are gendered for acting, two non-binary performers became the first to score nods for acting with their work in popular musicals: Alex Newell (Shucked) and J Harrison Ghee (Some Like It Hot).

On its face, Impeachment was billed as the story of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. However, there is definitely a lot more on the show’s plate. In fact, it feels more squarely in Linda Tripp’s perspective. This could be an interesting lens to view the Clinton scandals and it’s nice that the show has some curveballs.

Unfortunately, it appears Impeachment is more about celebrity mimicry than properly dramatizing the Clinton scandals. There are plenty of great performances, particularly from Beanie Feldstein as Monica Lewinksy and Annaleigh Ashford as fellow Clinton accuser Paula Jones. It’s enough to keep people tuning in, but we’re a far cry away from the quality of the other American Crime Story seasons...
