Though he concurs that this intensely crowded field is difficult to pare down. A whopping 17 new plays and 5 revivals will compete for top honors at the 2023 Tony Awards. Watch the full video above to find out which plays David and I believe will make the cut before logging your own predictions.
David and I begin the conversation as a united front, both picking Tom Stoppard’s “Leopoldstadt” as the current frontrunner for Best Play. It’s a positively massive success with both critics and audiences and offers a hauntingly poignant look at a Jewish family as they...

Andrew Garfield is now nominated at the Oscars for a second time thanks to his heartfelt performance as theater composer Jonathan Larson in “tick, tick… Boom!” The actor earned his first nomination in 2017 for the film “Hacksaw Ridge.”

Seesag Awards nominee profile: Will third time be the charm for Andrew Garfield?
Gold Derby (David Buchanan): Andrew, it’s such a pleasure to talk to you today. I wanted to start with “tick, tick… Boom!” and your experience on stage because “tick, tick… Boom!” started as a stage musical and is all about the theater, obviously, as Jonathan Larson was a composer.
