UCelia Rose Gooding kunye no-Antonio Cipriano kwindawo evela kumculo we-Broadway Ipilisi encinci edibeneyo .UMateyu Murphy Ngokwembali ebibanjwe ngeCawa ngoJuni, ii-Tony Awards zonyaka zihlala zisebenza njengendawo ephambili phakathi kwamaxesha eBroadway. Imisebenzi yonyaka ophelileyo ibibhiyozelwa, ihlobo linike ixesha lokuba abakhenkethi behle kwi-Times Square kwaye babone imiboniso eneenkwenkwezi, emva koko, behle, imveliso entsha iya kuvulwa (kwaye ivale) ngaphambi kokukhuphisana nelinye ixesha lokuwonga.
Kodwa kulo nyaka, yayiyi-COVID-19 kunye nomlo wokulingana ngokobuhlanga obethe iqhosha lokuseta kwakhona kwi-Broadway.
Iithiyetha zaye zema kancinci ngo-Matshi kwaye-kwiinyanga ezintandathu kamva-imiboniso inokuvalwa kodwa ubhubhane kunye noqhankqalazo luyaqhubeka. Phakathi koku, iiTonys ziya kubanjwa kwi-intanethi, ngomhla othile ongachazwanga ukuwa, ukunikezelwa kwemiboniso yexesha elidlulileyo (okanye, kule meko, iimveliso zobusuku bazo bokuvula zazikho ngomhla okanye ngaphambi kukaFebruwari 19), ngelixa, ngethemba, zinika enye into kunokuba nje ubuqhophololo, imeko, kunye nezandla zejazz.
Ilizwe lithathe uxanduva olukhulu lokungabikho kokusesikweni okugxininisa iindawo zemisebenzi kunye nemizi-mveliso emininzi; I-Broadway ayikho ngaphandle. Iintshukumo ezivela Sibona Wena I-American American Theater kwi Umdibaniso woBhengezo oBanzi benze imizamo emikhulu yokubhentsisa kunye nokwenza ngendlela abantu abamhlophe abaxhamle ngayo kukungalingani ngokobuhlanga kwindawo yemidlalo yeqonga. Indlela uTonys aza kuyisingatha ngayo le nto ayikacaci, kodwa iya kuba lithuba elilahlekileyo lokungasebenzisi eli qonga likhulu ukujongana neziganeko zangoku-ngakumbi ngoba amabhaso abonisa ukuba ekugqibeleni unamandla okufikelela kubaphulaphuli abaninzi emva kweminyaka yokuncipha kwababukeli, ngokusasaza oku unyaka kwi-Intanethi endaweni yokuvela kwiTV.
Ngethemba ukuba i-Tonys iya kunika ixesha lokucinga kunye nokwenza, kodwa kunye nokuzila. Izigebenga ziwile ngenxa ye-COVID-19, u-Tony u-Terrence McNally okwisihlandlo ezintlanu kunye neenkwenkwezi ezikhulayo kunye no-Tony otyunjiweyo u-Nick Cordero phakathi kwabo. Ixhaswe ngumsebenzi wayo kwiMemoriam, umbulelo kaTonys uzakuhamba ngakumbi kulo nyaka.
Kwaye kukho, ewe, amabhaso anethemba. Yonke imiboniso kufuneka ibe nobusuku bayo bokuvula nge-19 kaFebruwari ukuze bakulungele ukufumana amabhaso, ebeka kuphela iimveliso ezili-18. (Kunyaka ophelileyo, bekukho ngaphezulu kweshumi elinambini lemveliso ezifanelekileyo.) Ababethi abanobunzima ngokuvulwa kwentwasahlobo, njenge Bathandathu, Nksk Doubtfire, kwaye Intombazana evela kwilizwe laseMantla , ayizukuqwalaselwa ngeli xesha lamabhaso. Le midlalo yomculo yayiya kuba phambili kubhaso oluphezulu lweMusical Best, kodwa ngoku zine kuphela ( UTina: UMculo kaTina Turner, uMoulin Rouge, Isela elikhanyayo, kwaye Ipilisi encinci edibeneyo ) bafanelekile. Ibali laseNtshona ayizange ivulwe de kube ngu-20 kaFebruwari, ke ngoko akuyi kubakho didi lwe-Best Musical Revival, eyokuqala ukusukela oko eli candelo laqalwa ngo-1994.

Ngelixa eminye ibonisa ukuvalwa kwangaphambi kokuvalwa kungazukunikwa imbeko, kubalulekile ukuba uqaphele, ngakumbi njengoko ilizwe lemidlalo yeqonga lizama ukwenza imeko-bume elinganayo, ukuba oku kunokuba sisihlandlo sokuqala kwimbali yeeTony apho uninzi lwabadlali abasibhozo abaphumeleleyo ngamagcisa aMnyama. Zintandathu iindidi ezisibhozo ezinokubonisa abadlali abathandekayo abaphumelele uTony wabo wokuqala: Adrienne Warren ( UTina Umlingisi oKhokelayo kwiMculo; UBlair Underwood ( Ukudlala kwejoni Umdlali ophambili kumdlalo weqonga; UCelia Rose ulungelelwaniso ( Ipilisi encinci edibeneyo Umdlali weqonga oboniswa kumculo; UDavid Alan Grier ( Ukudlala kwejoni ) okanye uAto Blankson-Wood ( Ukudlala kwamakhoboka Umlingisi oBonakalayo kumdlalo; kwaye UJoaquina Kalukango ( Ukudlala kwamakhoboka Umdlali obonisiweyo kumdlalo weqonga. Kukwakho nethuba le-Broadway titans Audra McDonald okanye uLaChanze wokongeza omnye uTony kwiishelufa zabo, kunye neendima zabo UFrankie noJohnny ekukhanyeni kwenyanga kwaye IKarimesi yeKrisimesi ngokulandelelana.
Kodwa kuninzi ekusafuneka kubonwe-ukusukela xa i-Tonys izakusasazwa kwaye ngubani oza kutyunjwa ukuba ingaba i-Broadway iyakuvulwa nyani ngo-Janyuwari. Nangona kunjalo, inye into ehlala iqinisekile: iiTony zineqonga eliphambili ngomzuzu wokutshintsha okukhulu. Umboniso, kunye nenguquko, kufuneka iqhubeke.
Inqaku lomhleli: Eli bali liqale ngokulahlekisa inani leeMbasa zikaTony uTerence McNally ufumene kwaye ulungisiwe.
