Nathan Lane's Track Record of Continual Tony Snubbery

Robert Hofler has written an article for Variety Magazine that talks about the Tony Awards continual snubbing of Nathan Lane ever since his second Tony win in 2002 for The Producers.  I would love to be able to copy-paste the text here, but copyright issues prevent me from doing so.  Anyhow, it's a great article that I highly recommend.  You can find it now on Variety's website (Variety.com) under their legit section, and I'm sure it will be in the upcoming print issue of the magazine if it was not in the previous edition.

The Addams Family

Broadway's The Addams Family opened Thursday night and received some interesting reviews.  The writing, both of the book and of the score, were pretty unanimously panned by the professionals (but word of mouth from regular audience members says that the show was hilarious).  The two things that was praised by everyone were Bebe Neuwirth and Nathan Lane who, according to all sources, gave stellar star performances.  We shall see how the show will fare come May 4th, but I am no longer predicting it to be the mega hit I once thought it might.
