"Journey On" to the Tony Awards
Hop aboard as we set sail for the 79th Tony Awards! Airing on Sunday, June 7th, this annual celebration of Broadway promises to be full of glamour and entertainment, as always.
While everyone deserves applause, we are especially rooting for our MTI authors and titles among this year's nominees. "Shall we go for it?" Let's take a look!
Ragtime
Nominated for 11 Tony Awards, the acclaimed and accoladed revival of Ragtime has wowed the Broadway community with both its timeliness and riveting performances, including those by Joshua Henry, Caissie Levy, Brandon Uranowitz, Ben Levi Ross, and Nichelle Lewis, who are nominated this year.
At the dawn of a new century, everything is changing... and anything is possible. Set in the volatile melting pot of turn-of-the-century New York, three distinctly American tales are woven together – that of a stifled upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant and a daring young Harlem musician – united by their courage, compassion and belief in the promise of the future. Together, they confront history's timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair... and what it means to live in America.
Titanique
"What do you say to taking chances?" Authors Tye Blue, Marla Mindelle and Constantine Rousouli know all about that after Titanique's journey from LA to a basement theatre Off-Broadway to Tony nominees! Nominated for four Tony Awards, including Best Musical, this satirical jukbebox musical retelling of the iconic film Titanic has audiences rolling with laughter and singing along.
Want to find out what really happened to Jack and Rose on that fateful night? Our story begins when Céline Dion hijacks a Titanic Museum tour and enchants the audience with her totally wild take, recharting the course of Titanic’s beloved moments and characters with her iconic song catalog. Titanique is a one-of-a-kind musical voyage bursting with nostalgia and heart.
