Not the Messiah (He's a Very Naughty Boy): A Comic Oratorio based on Monty Python's Life of Brian Libretto by Eric Idle and Music by John Du Prez The Collegiate Chorale and Orchestra of St. Luke's/Ted Sperling Carnegie Hall, December 15-16, 2014
Not the Messiah was superb (albeit with minor overtones of shtick). But what else to expect from Monty Python alumnus Eric Idle, and John Du Prez, one of the composers of Spamalot and composer of the soundtrack for Python's swan song film, The Meaning of Life. This was truly an evening of whimsy on a grand, grand scale, with an excellent full orchestra playing wonderful arrangements, a chorus of one hundred-or-so voices, four outstanding soloists, and of course Eric Idle (who at this stage of his long career possesses whimsy-imprinted DNA).
The story follows the life of a man named Brian, born a few doors down from...

Will Neil Patrick Harris claim his first Tony Award this Sunday for his gender-bending turn in the musical revival of Hedwig and the Angry Inch? Probably. Will fellow multiple-Emmy winner Bryan Cranston win for playing Lyndon B. Johnson in the biodrama All the Way? Count on it. But will it be the Carole King biomusical Beautiful or the murderously funny A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder that earns top honors as the Best New Musical of the Broadway season?
On that point, as on many other tight races in this year’s Tony contest, EW critics Melissa Rose Bernardo and Thom Geier are divided.

New York (AP) — The musical "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder," a comedic romp in which a poor man eliminates the eight heirs ahead of him for a title, nabbed a leading 10 Tony Award nominations on Tuesday. Nominations were spread out for most other shows, reflecting the lack of a juggernaut this year. "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," a cult off-Broadway hit about a transgender East German performer, stars Neil Patrick Harris and won eight nominations, while "After Midnight," a musical celebrating Duke Ellington's years at the Cotton Club nightclub, got seven, tied with "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical" and a British revival of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night." Bryan Cranston won a nod for playing Lyndon Johnson in "All the Way," and Woody Allen got one for turning his film "Bullets Over Broadway" into a musical.

The 2014 Tony Award Nominations were announced this morning, and as expected, Neil Patrick Harris received his first Tony nom for Lead Actor In A Musical (and is the instant front runner) for Hedwig And The Angry Inch (which also received a Best Revival nom, and 8 nominations in total.).
Lucy Liu and a morning-gorgeous Jonathan Groff announced the nominations (and Jonathan got a hug from surprise guest Hugh Jackman), and there were some shockers. High profile performances from Denzel Washington, Michelle Williams and James Franco were snubbed, and sadly, Zachary Quinto was overlooked for his well-received work in The Glass Menagerie
Here’s a rundown of the acting categories. The Tony Awards (with host Hugh) will air on CBS at 9 Pm Et on Sunday, June 8th.
Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play

Fully realizing its underdog appeal, the cheeky musical A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder slayed the competition this morning with a whopping 10 Tony nominations, including nods for both of its tireless leading men, Jefferson Mays and Bryce Pinkham. Neil Patrick Harris’ return to Broadway after a decade yielded him his first-ever Tony nomination for the celebrated revival of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, which netted an impressive eight nods. (Had it been eligible as a new musical, Hedwig probably would have easily tied Guide, as score and book would have been slam dunks). Trailing these shows with seven...
