Tony Awards parties.Eyes red, heels broken, sequins… everywhere. Gripes about Uber surge charges. A Tony in one hand, a McDonalds bag in the other.After last year’s pandemic-hobbled celebrations — held in the fall, 2021 Best Play winner “The Inheritance” had a last-second fete at Hurley’s Saloon and Josh Groban and Aaron Tveit ate Trader Joe’s mini hotdogs in William Ivey Long’s studio — big bustling bashes were back in full force.Champagne was being poured all over town — toasting victories and drowning sorrows.
Best Play victor “The Lehman Trilogy” took over upstairs at the Bowery Hotel and Best Musical “A Strange Loop” was at the sexy Edition on 47th Street. The night’s big loser “The Music Man,” starring Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster, was on the new roof venue of the old Edison, a block away.I stopped by a few soirees (just who everyone wants at their feel-good party — a critic!) to watch Broadway let loose. Midnight: Tony parties can go south fast if the show doesn’t win. In 2017 at the Redeye Grill shindig for “Come From Away,” which lost to “Dear Evan Hansen,” I learned just how sad Canadians can get.
But my first stop, the event for “Six the Musical” at Guastavino’s on E. 59th Street, felt like a winner with a hopping dance floor. Still, celebs stayed west. The biggest stars were the show’s Tony-winning writers Lucy Moss and Toby Marlow and the cast of singin’ queens.

Nick Vivarelli International CorrespondentItalian playwright Stefano Massini’s “The Lehman Trilogy,” which just won five Tony Awards including the prize for best play, is set to become a high-end TV series to be produced by Italy’s Fandango and The Apartment, the outfits behind HBO’s Elena Ferrante adaptation “My Brilliant Friend.”The TV project, originated by Italian producer Domenico Procacci’s Fandango, to adapt into a series the epic drama written by Massini that charts the history of one of the financial institutions that helped spark the 2008 recession, has now been boarded by producer Lorenzo Mieli’s shingle The Apartment, the Fremantle-owned company behind Paolo Sorrentino’s Oscar-nominated “The Hand of God” and his “The Young Pope” and “The New Pope” shows. Fandango and Mieli previously collaborated on “My Brilliant Friend” for HBO and Italy’s RAI.Having Fremantle’s The Apartment on board gives “The Lehman Trilogy” TV series adaptation considerably more heft, though a commissioning broadcaster or streamer remains to be found.Mieli in a statement called “Lehman Trilogy” – which besides best play won Tony Awards for Sam Mendes’ direction and for the lead performance of Simon Russell Beale, among other prizes – “a marvelous and contemporary text” on the “intrinsic failures of a certain form of capitalism.”The chief of the Fremantle-owned company also noted that it’s rare for an Italian play to be celebrated outside national borders.

Gordon Cox Theater EditorBroadway celebrated its first full season after the COVID lockdown with the 75th annual Tony Awards, hosted by a newly minted Oscar winner and spotlighting stage work that included a media-darling frontrunner (“A Strange Loop”), a historical pop confection (“Six”), a King of Pop bio-musical (“MJ”) and an epic look at the roots of American capitalism (“The Lehman Trilogy”). Much of the ceremony played out as expected, but as ably hosted by “Hamilton” alum Ariana DeBose, the night still provided plenty of moments for theater fans to remember.(1) Early wins for “Six and “MJ” prepped the audience for a night of surprises — which didn’t quite materialize.A number of Tony predictions (including ours) suggested “Six” had a shot at the award for Best Score, so that win, in itself, wasn’t much of a surprise.
