The Tony Talk Podcast, Episode 3: The Pulitzer Effect

And we're off: the awards season has officially begun. Nominations for the Lucille Lortel Awards, which honor off-Broadway productions, were announced this week.

Last year, the winner of the prize for Drama, Hamilton, went on to win the Tony for Best Musical and the first runner-up The Humans took home the trophy for Best Play.  So in this episode of Tony Talk (recorded before Significant Other posted a closing notice for a final performance on April 23) my theatergoing buddy Bill Tynan and I talk about the leading contenders for this year's Pulitzer honor and what effect that win might have on this year's Tony races.
