Congratulations all around. And me? I feel lucky just to have been invited. (Click on the highlighted links to read my original reviews.)
So what I'm hearing is that if you want a Tony nomination, invite The Monkey to review your play.
ReplyDeleteYou hear that Broadway?!
ReplyDeleteDanny Burstein gets a Tony nod, and Danny Mastrogiorgio doesn't?
ReplyDeleteAs the kids say [type]. WTF??!?
Matrogiorgio owned the stage, in a performance that was stagy -- NOT because the actor was a ham, but because the character was a low-rent hustler hamming it up as a somebody promoter.
For shame, Tony nominators -- for shame.
The Monkey and the Mule in New York? Brilliant!
Mastrogiorgio owned the stage
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. As good as Tony Shaloub was, Danny Mastrogiorgio was the best thing in the play, a terrific performance.
Hopefully, the people who were actually there will remember him in the future.
