New York City honored Broadway’s best last night at the 77th annual Tony Awards.
Wouldn’t you know it? A bunch of D.C. area artists had a big night in the Big Apple!
Best Musical went to “The Outsiders,” starring a pair of Virginia alumni with Shenandoah University’s Brody Grant as Pony Boy and VCU’s Joshua Boone as Dally. They sang about “staying gold” and can now at least say they lost their acting categories to superstars like Jonathan Groff and Daniel Radcliffe for “Merrily We Roll Along.”
“The Outsiders” also featured the Music Direction of D.C. native Mark G. Meadows, who has joined WTOP many times for his work around town, namely Signature Theatre in Shirlington, Virginia. Likewise, his “Outsiders” colleague Brian MacDevitt, professor at the University of Maryland, won for Best Lighting Design of a Musical, defeating Frederick, Maryland native David Bengali who was nominated for the musical “Water for Elephants.
