I kind of feel like I can’t let a year lived in New York go without some commentary on the Tony Awards, which we rarely really get into around here. Alas, looking across the nominees, I see I’ve missed a great many of the top players so far. But I’ll get to them. At least I have a bit of a cheat sheet now.

On the musicals side, “Kinky Boots,” “Matilda” and “Pippin” are on the to-do list before I move back to Los Angeles. Each of them were nominated, as was “Annie,” which is being developed as a film by Will Smith with “Beasts of the Southern Wild” star Quvenzhané Wallis in the lead. I’ll be heading out to catch Tom Sturridge, Ben Foster and Alec Baldwin in “Orphans” soon enough, as well as “The Trip to Bountiful,” which has drawn raves for Cicely Tyson’s work.

I did, however, see “Lucky Guy,” the late Nora Ephron’s swan song about the life and times of New York journalist Mike McAlary. Tom Hanks, in his Broadway debut, took on the role and he received his first ever Tony nomination as a result. I knew Courtney B. Vance would be nominated, if nothing else, because his performance was probably the best one in the production; indeed, he was shortlisted for Best Featured Actor. It was also nominated for Best Play, Best Direction of a Play, Best Scenic Design of a Play and Best Lighting of a Play.

The overall nominations leader was the musical “Kinky Boots” with 13, narrowly beating out “Matilda”‘s 12. On the play side of things, the revival “Golden Boy” led the way with eight. “Lucky Guy” and Christopher Durang’s “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike” weren’t too far behind with six nods apiece.
