Torchsong by Harvey Fierstein was my favorite play this year. While I am no expert on live theater, I know one thing for sure: only the experience of being transported into another world for two hours by professional performers wearing beautiful costumes can make a walk through Times Square on a Saturday night worth the hassle!Īs we are obliged to take a break from Broadway this weekend, why not use the intermission to look at some of the books upon which the nominations are based and enhance our Broadway savvy with a few deeper dives into its rich history? These books will provide a bit more context to guide your future theatergoing once the regular business of show business resumes. This Sunday Broadway will go dark in celebration of the 73rd Annual Tony Awards.
