Tony Awards nominees get together
to meet, greet and say 'Cheese!'
What happens when more than a hundred of Broadway's
finest get together to take a picture?
You can find out by watching this video taken as Tony Awards
officials organized their first nominees' class photo in four
years.
All of this year's nominees were invited to show up for the shoot
before the annual Tony luncheon on Thursday at the Plaza in New
York. About 110 did, assembling outside the hotel to meet and
greet before being hustled into position by a determined production
staff.
As you scan the crowd, you can pick out stage veterans like five-time
Tony winner Angela Lansbury -- who could bring home a record sixth
prize in June for "A Little Night Music"-- and Hollywood
stars like Scarlett Johansson, who made her Broadway debut in
"A View From the Bridge." Other familiar faces include
Viola Davis, Kelsey Grammer, Valerie Harper, Sean Hayes, Liev
Schreiber and Denzel Washington.

Theatre Center Honor Hal Prince with Monte Cristo Award
Tom Viertel, Chairman of the Board of the Eugene
O'Neill Theater Center, has announced that Stephen Sondheim will
present Harold Prince with the organization's Monte Cristo Award
at a gala benefit on Monday, April 5, 2010 at Bridgewaters. The
Award, given annually in recognition of a distinguished career
exemplifying Eugene O'Neill's pioneering spirit and standard of
excellence, has previously been presented to Kevin Spacey, Neil
Simon, Jason Robards, Jr., Edward Albee, August Wilson, Zoe Caldwell,
Brian Dennehy, Karl Malden, Arthur and Barbara Gelb, and Wendy
Wasserstein.
Beginning in 1957, Sondheim and Prince collaborated on a series
of ground-breaking musicals that have since achieved legendary
status, including: West Side Story, Company, Follies, A Little
Night Music, Pacific Overtures, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber
of Fleet Street, and Merrily We Roll Along, making Sondheim's
presentation, according to O'Neill Executive Director Preston
Whiteway, "particularly poignant, and with the well deserved
honors going to Steve this spring, it is fun to turn the tables
and have him present to Hal, his longtime friend and collaborator."
