This month, we are starting what we hope will be a monthly feature. Over the course of each month, we'll collect pictures and newsy tidbits from the "TheatreScene." We'll be scouring Twitter, Instagram and other social media for interesting items. 

Around the TheatreScene

June/July 2024

Tony-winning Neighbors!

West 45th Street is the place to be if you are in a 2024 Tony-winning production! Best Musical, The Outsiders, and Best Play, Stereophonic neighbors got together to celebrate and show off their spinny awards...

Speaking of Stereophonic...

American icons, The Archies, known for their own recording career ("Sugar Sugar" a #1 song in 1969) pay tribute to the now iconic American play... artwork by Ray Kampf.

Speaking of The Outsiders...

All dressed up before their Tony Awards triumph, some of the company took a moment on set to commemorate the evening... Darrel Curtis aka Brent Comer greets fans after the show...a real fan snuck a pic of Brody Grant doing his Ponyboy thing... and Brody and Sky Lakota-Lynch took a promo pic outside the Jacobs.

⭐Stars-To-Be⭐ Doing Their Summer Thing!

Harmony's Danny Kornfeld in Europe... Tommy's Ali Louis Bourzgui at the beach is a real sensation... The Outsiders' Brent Comer catching some rays at the park... and The Light in the Piazza's James D. Gish was recently at The Muny as Enjolras, and has been cast in the International Arena Tour of Les Miserables as... Enjolras!... and Kimberly Akimbo Tony-nominee Justin Cooley celebrated a milestone birthday with many of his cast mates!

Protesting Suffs...

...is more effective when you've seen the show before you make your disruptive banners...

Kudos, ladies, for rising above it all and recognizing the efforts of Nikki M. James, Laila Erica Drew, and Anastacia McCleskey as Ida B.Wells, Phyllis Terrell and Mary Church Terrell, respectively. And to Shaina Taub who made sure to improve the book to her show by including these important and often overlooked pioneers of women's rights.
