"The revival of Art performed far better commercially than artistically. The production assembled Neil Patrick Harris, Bobby Cannavale, and James Corden, but the play itself now feels slighter than ever, more clever banter than substantial dram"
Several major Broadway productions with stars, recognizable titles, and strong buzz received no Tony nominations in a season widely seen as unusually weak for new musicals. The Queen of Versailles, anticipated as a leading contender, closed early and left the race entirely. With music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, direction by Michael Arden, and Kristin Chenoweth starring as Jackie Siegel, the show failed to cohere, mixing satire, camp spectacle, family drama, and a cautionary tale without a clear identity. Proof also missed out despite high-profile debuts and producing involvement from Barack and Michelle Obama. Beaches felt more like a reflection of limited new-musical supply than a true artistic rejection. Art performed better commercially than artistically, even with a star-studded cast.
