The Drama Desk Awards are unique in the landscape of New York theater, as they are the only place where Broadway, off-Broadway, and off-off Broadway compete within the same categories. The nominating committee of the 2025 Drama Desk Awards comprises Chair Martha Wade Steketee, Linda Armstrong, Daniel Dinero, Peter Filichia, Kenji Fujishima, Raven Snook, and Charles Wright.

The Broadway transfers of Buena Vista Social Club, Dead Outlaw, English, Job, and Oh, Mary! were not eligible for these kudos, having already competed for their off-Broadway runs.

Morgan Freeman's 2001 Alex Cross thriller will have a new streaming home next month. Along Came a Spider arrives on Paramount+ on Feb. 1.

A sequel to 1997's Kiss the Girls, Along Came a Spider saw Freeman reprise his role as detective Alex Cross alongside Jay O. Sanders as FBI agent Kyle Craig. The film was adapted from James Patterson's 1993 novel of the same name but changed key plot points. In the movie, forensic psychologist and author Alex Cross's retirement from the police force is short-lived when the daughter of a U.S. senator is kidnapped from her private school. As Cross digs deeper into the girl's disappearance, he learns there are many more layers to the kidnapping than he once thought.

The 1996 disaster movie, Daylight, will soon be coming to your home in crisp ultra high-definition picture. Blu-ray.com has recently reported that the Sylvester Stallone film from Rob Cohen, who directed Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story and The Fast and the Furious, will be getting a new 4K remastered physical media release from the Kino Lorber distributor. In addition to Stallone, the movie co-starred Amy Brenneman, Viggo Mortensen, Dan Hedaya, and Jay O. Sanders. This new ultra-hd version is expected to hit retailers next year on March 11.

Daylight is not particularly well regarded by Stallone fans, and it had the misfortune of coming out just as disaster movies were bombing left and right.

Awards season is chugging right along. Next up are the Film Independent Spirit Awards, which honor the best and brightest in indie cinema and television. To qualify, a film's budget must not exceed $30 million, which means major blockbusters like Wicked and Gladiator II are, obviously, out of the running.

Azazel Jacobs’ original screenplay for his acclaimed film “His Three Daughters” is now available to view online, exclusive to IndieWire.

Read the “His Three Daughters” screenplay here.

Telling the story of estranged sisters Katie (Carrie Coon), Christina (Elizabeth Olsen), and Rachel (Natasha Lyonne) who come together to care for their ailing father (memorably played by Jay O. Sanders) in his New York apartment, and mend their own broken relationships with one another, the film premiered to rave reviews at the Toronto International Film Festival 2023 before being acquired by Netflix.

In a recent interview with IndieWire’s Ryan Lattanzio, Jacobs spoke of being very particular about the way in which he worked on the script, which is currently nominated for Best Screenplay at the Gotham Awards 2024. “I wrote it to a cutting rhythm. I tried to write the script so it would move exactly how I wanted it to film,” the filmmaker said.

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Cross season 1 and James Patterson's Alex Cross books.Through one scene, Cross season 1 has surprisingly set up a major book villain, which has made the original twist reveal a lot worse. Created by Ben Watkins, Amazon Prime Video's Cross is based on James Patterson's Alex Cross book series. Although the show accurately adopts many narrative threads and character beats from the original books, it does not strictly follow any stories from the source material. Instead, in its first installment, it follows a completely original narrative and attempts to expand the books' lore instead of recreating it.

Owing to this, even though it features many familiar characters from James Patterson's novels, it also adds many new ones to the mix or significantly changes how the books approach some character arcs. For instance, while John Sampson avenges Alex Cross' wife's death in the books, he...

Francis Ford Coppola has directed some of the best movies in cinematic history, and while that's brought him financial success at times, his lowest-grossing movies standings have changed with Megalopolis. The Godfather helped establish Coppola as one of Hollywood's biggest talents behind the camera, and the mob crime movie proved he also had plenty of pull with audiences at the cinema. The Godfather's $243 million box office haul suggested that he'd have plenty of other major financial hits, but with his proclivity for risky projects, big budgets, and clashing with studios, that rarely happened after 1974.

Coppola still managed to deliver a hit in Bram Stoker's Dracula in 1992, as it is the only other of his movies to make over $200 million worldwide. None of the other Francis Ford Coppola movies made over $100 million (via The Numbers). The reality is that the director has had more big swings and misses at the box office,...

Despite years of roles that would suggest the contrary, Natasha Lyonne doesn’t partake these days.

While discussing her performance in Azazel Jacobs‘ His Three Daughters, the Golden Globe nominee recently opened up about being typecast “as a druggie” in her career

Co-star Carrie Coon explained to Rolling Stone, “It’s funny, because none of us knew each other, but Aza wrote all of these roles for us knowing we’d complement each other. Yet none of them are tailored to who we are. I mean, I can be controlling. But it’s not like Natasha is a pothead.”

“No, I just present as one,” quipped Lyonne. “Pot’s not my bag. I’m actually an ex-junkie. But I see why he thought of me, and at first I was like, ‘Oh, no, it’s another “Here’s Natasha as a druggie”‘ — which I’ve already done so many times,...

Elizabeth Olsen's award-worthy performance in Netflix's His Three Daughters proves the harsh reality that she does not need the Marvel Cinematic Universe anymore. In the Netflix drama, Olsen plays Christina, who reunites with her estranged sisters, Katie (Carrie Coon) and Rachel (Natasha Lyonne) to help their sick father (Jay O. Sanders) during his final days. Following its debut at the 2023 Toronto Film Festival and after coming to Netflix, His Three Daughters' reviews consistently praised the three lead performances, which paved the way for a 98% critical score and 88% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Olsen's impressive performance comes at a time when her MCU character, Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, is being frequently discussed. Her MCU return has been the source of speculation since the character's ending in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, although the discourse is now further amplified as the WandaVision spinoff series Agatha All Along releases new episodes on Disney+.

Like sisters are supposed to, the stars of “His Three Daughters” will support each other throughout this year’s Oscar race.

Carrie Coon, Natasha Lyonne, and Elizabeth Olsen — all praised for their performances in Azazel Jacobs’ family drama — have chosen to submit for Oscar consideration in the supporting actress category, it was revealed to Variety exclusively. In addition, co-stars Jovan Adepo, Jay O. Sanders and Rudy Galvan will be vying for supporting actor consideration.

Written and directed by Jacobs, “His Three Daughters” follows three estranged sisters reuniting to care for their terminally ill father in his Brooklyn apartment. The film premiered at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival and was acquired by Netflix for a reported $7 million. It has since received glowing reviews, maintaining a 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Variety’s chief film critic,...

New to Netflix on September 20, 2024, His Three Daughters is a refreshing arthouse drama written and directed by Azazel Jacobs. The acclaimed dramedy concerns three disparate and estranged sisters who reunite in New York to care for their sick father, forced to confront their past while living together under a single roof for the first time in years. When the estranged siblings reconnect after years apart, the character-driven story portrays a tender bonding moment between two sisters, Katie (Carrie Coon) and Christina (Elizabeth Olsen), that hints at their intimate childhood.

The bonding moment features Katie and Rachel speaking in a silly, fabricated language they made up as kids, that they only understand. A curious combination of Pig Latin and other ancient dead languages, the touching sequence has become such a popular topic online that Azazel has addressed the conversation and provided more context to fans about where the language came from.

His Three Daughters has become a global hit for Netflix. In addition to Elizabeth Olsen, His Three Daughters' cast features The Leftovers' Carrie Coon and Russian Doll's Natasha Lyonne, along with a supporting role from 3 Body Problem's Jovan Adepo. Olsen, Coon, and Lyonne play estranged sisters Christina, Katie, and Rachel, who reunite as they take care of their ailing father, Vincent (Jay O. Sanders) during his final days. The movie has received critical acclaim, leading to a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score of 97%.

As per Netflix, His Three Daughters is the streamer's fifth most globally watched movie from September 16-September 22, garnering 4.1 million views and 7.2 million hours viewed. His Three Daughters was not available to stream until September 20, while most of the other movies in Netflix's global top 10, including Uglies and Rebel Ridge, were released in previous weeks and available to watch throughout the entirety of the most recent week.

Could “Challengers,” which moved from an awards season slot last year due to the strikes to a less prestigious March release date this year, actually be a contender after all? The psychosexual tennis drama generated a lot of buzz and a fairly impressive box office performance, and it wouldn’t be crazy to wonder if nominations for Zendaya (Best Actress), Josh O’Connor (Best Supporting Actor), and Justin Kuritzkes (Best Original Screenplay) are possible. Ok, they’re admittedly pretty unlikely, but we do predict that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross should be nominated for their pounding electronic score. The film is now available to stream on Prime Video.

His Three Daughters jarred me with its intimate exploration of three sisters as they await their fathers death. Many films have explored family dynamics and their dysfunction but writer-director Azazel Jacobs gets personal by making his characters uncomfortable in nearly every situation. Theres awkwardness, anger, and annoyance as the titular daughters tiptoe toe around each other, but theres also love, too. His Three Daughters is a talky film that is often staged like a play. Theres nowhere to go as the characters are forced to face each other, but thats also what makes it so poignant and lovely.

Chicago – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com audio film review for “His Three Daughters,” a passionate exploration of the hospice stage of life, and how it affects the three women of the title, as Dad is dying. Currently in theaters or streaming on Netflix beginning on September 20th.

Rating: 5.0/5.0

The three women of the title are Katie (Carrie Coon), Christina (Elizabeth Olsen) and Rachel (Natasha Lyonne), and they are gathered together reluctantly to care for their father in New York City as he enters hospice … the final healthcare stage of death. The daughters of Vincent (Jay O. Sanders) are far-flung, with Katie nearby but an impatient mess, out-of-town Christina still in bliss over her 3-year-old daughter and half-sister Rachel as a pot smoking, online bettor who has been taking care of Vincent throughout his illness. The clash of wills in a confined apartment in mourning will take its toll.

The new Netflix film His Three Daughters features an outstanding albeit small cast. His Three Daughters will be released on Netflix on September 20, 2024 following a two-week theatrical run in select theaters. The film originally premiered over a year ago at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 9, 2023. His Three Daughters debuted with a near-perfect 99% on Rotten Tomatoes, becoming one of just a handful of movies to join the prestigious Rotten Tomatoes 99% club, which has generated some early Oscars buzz. It's one of seven feature films directed by Azazel Jacobs, who also wrote the original screenplay.

His Three Daughters takes place in a New York City apartment where a man named Vincent is suffering from cancer. His three adult children, all daughters, are somewhat estranged but are forced to face each other and live together in the apartment while also grasping the impending death of their dad. Often described as tense,...

Indie filmmaker Azazel Jacobs makes a true New York movie with “His Three Daughters,” his profound and moving drama about a trio of sisters hemorrhaging emotions about their father, who is dying in the next room. Carrie Coon, Natasha Lyonne, and Elizabeth Olsen deliver career-class performances as Katie, Rachel, and Christina, respectively, who stress over how to write their father’s obituary and how to come together despite years of spite between them. And tensions bubble up in a monologue-driven, theatrical directing style where Jacobs holds on the performances in long takes where other directors might want to cut to a reaction shot or somewhere else.

“I wrote it to a cutting rhythm. I tried to write the script so it would move exactly how I wanted it to film,” Jacobs, who has explored New York stories before, from “French Exit” to “The Lovers” and his breakout, “Momma’s Man,” said in a recent IndieWire interview.

While fans are enjoying Dennis Quaid's performance of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan, he has another movie that was released 20 years ago that's making waves on streaming. The Day After Tomorrow, which Quaid stars in alongside Jake Gyllenhaal, Dash Mihok, and Sela Ward, has jumped to the #3 spot on Netflix worldwide, falling just short of Rebel Ridge and Hobbs and Shaw. The Day After Tomorrow tells the story of Jack Hall (Quaid), a world renowned paleo climatologist, who must make a daring trek from D.C. to New York to reach his son Sam (Gyllenhaal), who is trapped in a storm that is dooming the world to a new Ice Age. In addition to Quaid, Gyllenhaal, Mihok, and Ward, The Day After Tomorrow also stars Emmy Rossum, Jay O. Sanders, and Austin Nichols, and the film currently sits at a 45% score from critics and a 50% rating from general audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.

The last two weeks were packed with new releases thanks to the Venice and Toronto International Film Festivals, and many differentiated themselves with exceptional reviews. One of them is Elizabeth Olsen's new drama, His Three Daughters, which gives Netflix one of its highest Rotten Tomatoes scores of the year.

The Azazel Jacobs-directed drama stars Olsen, Carrie Coon, and Natasha Lyonne. His Three Daughters reunites the three sisters as they come to say goodbye to their father, played by Jay O. Sanders on his final days, and it scored one of the best Rotten Tomatoes scores, with an approval rating of 98%. The movie premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, with a limited release in select theaters, before heading to Netflix for streaming on September 20.

Dramas about death are hard to get right, yet His Three Daughters handles the difficult topic with grace. Death is the singularly most tragic thing most people have to deal with in their lives, meaning that it’s far too simple to lean on it as a crutch to get emotional reactions from the audience. Writer/director Azazel Jacobs clearly understands that, crafting a marvelously authentic story about three sisters growing apart and coming back together in His Three Daughters.

His Three Daughters Review

Gone Girl and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire actress Carrie Coon leads as Katie, the oldest of the titular three daughters. She’s the ferocious and hard-headed one of the bunch, opening up the film by grumbling along with somebody on the phone about how her slacker sister Rachel (Poker Face’s Natasha Lyonne...

Azazel Jacobs’ pared-down sibling showdown begins with a static shot of Carrie Coon, chic in a dark rollneck sweater, speaking levelly and lengthily to some patient recipient off-screen. It’s an opening monologue that establishes His Three Daughters as a film awash with Acting, the kind with a capital ‘A’. It feels as if it has stridden directly from the stage onto the screen.

What starts as a somewhat jarring note, however, soon settles into a captivating rhythm. Coon plays forthright Katie, mother to an uncooperative teenager and drinker of generous pourings of wine, whose qualms about her pot-smoking sister Rachel (Natasha Lyonne) manifest as passive-aggressive paper-cut takedowns. Hovering tentatively between the pair is timid former Deadhead Christina (Elizabeth Olsen), a constant look of concern seizing her face.

By its final chapter, the actors are firing on all cylinders.

It’s a feat in casting. Lyonne sheds the Elliott Gould...

You may love your family, though you might not like them very much, and just because you’re kin doesn’t mean you have anything in common. Take, for example, the three grown siblings who find themselves forced to share the same air in His Three Daughters. There is Katie (Carrie Coon), a Type-a control freak who’s a Karen by any other name, as well as a lover of red wine and passive-aggressiveness. There is Christina (Elizabeth Olsen), the resident peacekeeper and, much to her sisters’ chagrin, a longtime Deadhead.

Natasha Lyonne, Elizabeth Olsen and Carrie Coon step out for the premiere of their new movie His Three Daughters held at Paris Theater on Thursday night (September 5) in New York City.

The three ladies not only star in the upcoming film, but they also all serve as executive producers.

Joining them at the premiere screening were director, writer, producer and editor Azazel Jacobs and co-stars Jovan Adepo, Jay O. Sanders, Rudy Galvan and Jose Febus.

Also stepping out to show their support included Carol Kane, Simon Rex, Jennifer Esposito and husband Jesper Vesterstrom, William Abadie, Will Estes, Laya Deleon Hayes, Maye Musk and Lucas Hedges, who worked with Azazel on French Exit.

His Three Daughters tells the “bittersweet and often funny story of an elderly patriarch and the three grown daughters who come to be with him in his final days. Katie (Coon) is a controlling Brooklyn mother dealing with...

Azazel Jacobs’ His Three Daughters opens on Katie (Carrie Coon), who spits out a winded monologue with barely space for breath. Then her two sisters enter, and finally Katie comes up for air, if only for a moment, so that Christina (Elizabeth Olsen) can have her turn depriving the room of oxygen.

The first thing you’ll likely notice about His Three Daughters is the way the characters talk. Framed against a white wall in her father’s (Jay O. Sanders) Lower East Side apartment, an arms-crossed Katie (Carrie Coon) insists that she and her sisters set any differences aside, even as she begins to grumble about the “do not resuscitate” order that Rachel (Natasha Lyonne) didn’t get signed. It’s a capital-m monologue that Coon delivers in a breathless and stilted cadence, leaving no room for Rachel to speak. By the time Christina (Elizabeth Olsen), the youngest of the sisters, hunkers down at the dinner table for her turn in the spotlight, you may be excused for thinking you’re watching a theater group putting their spin on a relay race.

The stagey quality makes a certain amount of sense for writer-director Azazel Jacobs’s film. After all, Katie and...

For her latest role, Natasha Lyonne had to change how she personally processed grief.

The Golden Globe nominee recalled the questions she asked herself while playing Rachel in the upcoming Netflix drama His Three Daughters, a role created for her by writer-director Azazel Jacobs.

“We found these new, untapped depths, like a reservoir,” she explained to CBS News. “For me, the question became, why? Why am I always smoking and shutting it down and trying to self-destruct it away? What is that feeling underneath the feeling that I’m running from? And really being allowed to sit in that grief in a way was a whole new idea.”

Lyonne continued, “Grief is a crazy concept. It’s something that we don’t talk about enough. … Because it’s happening every moment. We’re grieving what happened eight minutes ago, two minutes ago. You’re in a constant state of grief.

Ring in September with Netflix’s latest offerings!

This month on the streamer, several major series will have their premieres, including the highly anticipated limited series adaptation of the murder mystery “The Perfect Couple,” starring Dakota Fanning, Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber, Eve Hewson, and more. Also on the way are Zack Snyder’s Norse mythology animated series “Twilight of the Gods” and the second half “Emily in Paris” Season 4. On the unscripted side, two of the streamer’s most popular competition series will return: “Outlast” and “The Circle.”

For Fans Of... Elizabeth Olsen movies Carrie Coon or Natasha Lyonne Azazel Jacobs,...

Netflix has released a trailer for the upcoming heartfelt feature ‘His Three Daughters.’

The movie is a bittersweet and often funny story of an elderly patriarch and the three grown daughters who come to be with him in his final days.

Katie (Carrie Coon) is a controlling Brooklyn mother dealing with a wayward teenage daughter; free-spirited Christina (Elizabeth Olsen) is a different kind of mom, separated from her offspring for the first time; and Rachel (Natasha Lyonne) is a sports-betting stoner who has never left her father’s apartment — much to the chagrin of her half-sisters, who share a different mother and worldview. Continuing his astute exploration of family dynamics in close-knit spaces, Jacobs follows the siblings for three volatile days, as death looms, grievances erupt, and love seeps through the cracks of a fractured home.

Written and directed by Azazel Jacobs, the movie also stars Rudy Galvan, Jose Febus,...

It's often said that there's no right or wrong way to grieve the loss of a loved one. And in His Three Daughters, the latest film from French Exit director and mumblecore maestro Azazel Jacobs — which premiered to rave reviews at TIFF last year — we'll get to see three diverging approaches to loss as Elizabeth Olsen, Natasha Lyonne, and Carrie Coon's estranged sisters Christina, Rachel, and Katie reunite to care for their dying father (Jay O. Sanders). If the first trailer for the already-in-the-Oscars-conversation Netflix film is anything to go by, Jacobs has an emotional wringer and we're about to be put through it and then some. Give it a watch below:

With Olsen and Coon having had their fill of blockbusters in recent years across MCU movies and the latest Ghostbusters reboot respectively, and Lyonne having left her indie beginnings for bigger roles in the likes of Poker Face and Russian Doll too,...

Elizabeth Olsen, Natasha Lyonne and Carrie Coon revisit frayed relationships in the trailer for the Netflix drama film His Three Daughters.

Writer-director Azazel Jacobs’ feature is set to hit select theaters Sept. 6 and begin streaming Sept. 24 after premiering last year at the Toronto International Film Festival. Olsen, Lyonne and Coon co-star as the titular estranged sisters who reconnect in a Manhattan apartment to help their ailing father and aim to repair their tense connections with each other.

“It’s nice that it’s us,” Olsen tells her sisters about the three of them spending time together. “This is the way that it should be — the way he would want it.”

Later, when asked for help in writing their dad’s obituary, Lyonne quips, “Married a couple of crazy bitches, raised a few crazy bitches.”

Rounding out the cast are Jovan Adepo, Jay O. Sanders, Rudy Galvan, Jose Febus and Jasmine Bracey.

Everyone copes with loss differently. And the trailer for “His Three Daughters” released by Netflix Wednesday shows just that, capturing tragic but heartwarming moments as an estranged trio of sisters reunites to prepare for their father’s death. Together, they reconnect in their grief.

Natasha Lyonne plays Rachel, Carrie Coon plays Katie and Elizabeth Olsen plays Christina, the film’s half-sisters who are getting ready for the death of their father. You can feel the tension, resentment and buried love between the three throughout the entire two-and-a-half-minute spot.

The opening shot of Rachel smoking outside sets up the relationships and the tone for the rollercoaster of emotions that the preview is about to journey through. She is approached by a police officer, who knows her by name, telling her she can’t be smoking outside.

"You will need each other. It's good that there are three of you." Netflix has unveiled an offiical trailer for an indie film titled His Three Daughters, made by NYC writer & director Azazel Jacobs. This premiered at the 2023 Toronto Film Festival last year and earned rave reviews from many critics as one of the best of that festival. It's now set for a release in limited theaters in September before it's streaming on Netflix later this fall. A riveting, funny, tense, and touching portrait of family dynamics following three estranged sisters as they converge in a New York apartment to care for their ailing father and try to mend their own broken relationship with one another.

Sanders, Rudy Galvan, Jose Febus, and Jasmine Bracey.

Natasha Lyonne, Carrie Coon, and Elizabeth Olsen are coming home to their respective indie roots for grieving family drama “His Three Daughters.” The trio play the eponymous siblings for the Netflix film, which debuted at TIFF 2023. Coon stars as responsible sister Katie, who is tasked with carrying out her ailing father’s (Jay O. Sanders) end-of-life wishes. Olsen is her sister Christina who embraces the spiritual realm to cope with losing her dad, while Lyonne’s Rachel opts to smoke pot and disassociate.

The three estranged sisters come together once more to a New York apartment to care for their dying father and “try to mend their own broken relationship with one another,” per the film’s official synopsis.

A single-location New York drama about quarreling siblings played by Carrie Coon, Natasha Lyonne, and Elizabeth Olsen? We’re all in.

Azazel Jacobs’ poignant and at times poisonous family portrait “His Three Daughters” premiered at TIFF last year to a mild splash, but it’s now primed to be one of Netflix’s major awards contenders in the coming season along with Malcolm Washington’s August Wilson adaptation “The Piano Lesson” and Jacques Audiard’s Cannes winner “Emilia Pérez.”

Katie (Coon), Christina (Olsen), and Rachel (Lyonne) convene at their childhood Lower Manhattan apartment to shake their dying father (Jay O. Sanders) off his mortal coil, bickering over how to write his obituary and who should take which shift watching over him in the bedroom (never shown onscreen) down the hall. And why are there only apples in the refrigerator? Lyonne’s character, an around-the-clock stoner who’s also Katie and...

The Morgan Freeman movie Kiss the Girls is finding new life on Netflix. This comes as Aldis Hodge will take over Freeman's role as Alex Cross in the film for a new take on the character.

Per ScreenRant, the 1997 movie Kiss the Girls is ranking at No. 3 on Netflix's Global Top 10 list, garnering 7.1 million views and 13.7 million viewing hours.

It's also available in the U.S. for Paramount+ subscribers for those who want to stream the movie free of ads.

Katie (Carrie Coon) is a controlling Brooklyn mother dealing with a wayward teenage daughter; free-spirited Christina (Elizabeth Olsen) is a different kind of mum, separated from her offspring for the first time; and Rachel (Natasha Lyonne) is a sports-betting stoner who has never left her father’s apartment — much to the chagrin of her half-sisters, who share a different mother and worldview. Continuing his astute exploration of family dynamics in close-knit spaces, Jacobs follows the siblings over three volatile days,...

Galeca: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics unveiled nominations for their 2nd annual Dorian Theater Awards on Monday, March 13. Galeca’s 39-member theater wing decided this season’s crop of nominees, which honor the best of Broadway and Off-Broadway.

The nominations list is dominated by the current revival of “Merrily We Roll Along” and new play “Stereophonic.” Both productions netted six nominations a piece. In the case of “Merrily,” that tally includes bids for its Tony-nominated trio of stars: Jonathan Groff, Lindsay Mendez, and Daniel Radcliffe. “Stereophonic” managed one better with four members of its cast nominated in the same featured performance category: Will Brill, Eli Gelb, Tom Pecinka, and Sarah Pidgeon. The individual acting races at the Dorian Awards are gender neutral.

The Best Broadway Musical category features Tony Award nominees “Hell’s Kitchen,” “Illinoise,” “The Outsiders,” and “Suffs,” along with the closed David Byrne tuner “Here Lies Love” and soon-to-be closing “Lempicka.

David Adjmi’s Stereophonic was named Best Play of the year by the New York Drama Critics’ Circle today, with the Best Musical Award going to the Off Broadway production of Dead Outlaw from the team behind The Band’s Visit.

Stereophonic, currently on Broadway, has received 13 Tony Award nominations, and includes songs written by Will Butler from the indie rock band Arcade Fire. The play tells the story of a fractious 1970s Fleetwood Mac-like rock band recording what will be a massive Rumours-like hit record.

Dead Outlaw, with music and lyrics by David Yazbek and Erik Della Penna and a book by Itamar Moses, is inspired by the life of Elmer McCurdy. The musical, which premiered this year at the Minetta Lane Theatre, was originally conceived by Yazbek and tells the story of an outlaw from the early 20th Century whose corpse became a traveling sideshow exhibit for decades.

With 36 productions eligible for this year’s Tony Awards, there were plenty of names missing when nominations were announced by Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Renée Elise Goldsberry on Tuesday morning. Among the most surprising 2024 Tony nominations snubs was “Patriots.” Peter Morgan‘s history play about Russia earned three Olivier Award nominations last year, including Best New Play, Actor (Tom Hollander) and Featured Actor (Will Keen). In New York, it only scored one for Michael Stuhlbarg, who took over the role played by Hollander in the UK; Keen, who reprises his role as Vladimir Putin, did not score a nomination in a category stuffed with “Stereophonic” performers.

The revival of “The Who’s Tommy” also significantly underperformed. Gold Derby users predicted it would land three nominations for Best Musical Revival, Best Actor for Ali Louis Bourzgui and Best Choreographer for Lorin Latarro, but it only earned one bid in the top revival category.

First footage screening from ’Dominique’, ’My Divorce Comedy’ on November 1.

Ossie Davis’ play Purlie Victorious premiered on Broadway as a drama in 1961 when the vestiges of America’s Jim Crow caste system were still alive and well in the South. Even with 60-plus years of distance, it’s hard to believe how resonant the play is today with the hilarious Broadway revival that premiered last week at the Music Box Theatre.

Leslie Odom Jr. stars in the title role as a smooth-talking Georgia preacher trying to get a $500 inheritance left by his Aunt Henrietta from Ol’ Cap’n (Jay O. Sanders). Purlie comes up with a crackpot scheme to hire Lutiebelle Gussie Mae Jenkins (Kara Young) to pose as Henrietta’s daughter, Cousin Bee, to get the money from Ol’ Cap’n. Purlie wants the funds to buy Big Bethel church, where his dad once preached. High jinx ensue – but amid all the slapstick comedy, a much more profound story...
