☆ A 12-Foot Statue Without a Pedestal, Metaphoric or Otherwise
  + stars: | 2023-08-01 | by ( Nancy Coleman | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
“We recognize bronze as a material of power, and we recognize large figures,” Price says of his works, which range from 9 to 12 feet tall. “If [a sculpture] is done in bronze, it must be of a person who has done something that warrants being made permanent and visible. My figures are fictional people trying to communicate real moments — we recognize ourselves in the way they’re standing, before we even get to race or gender. They’re a celebration of the everyday.”

☆ The 2023 Tony Awards Live Updates: ‘Kimberly Akimbo,’ ‘Some Like It Hot’ and ‘Leopoldstadt’ Win Awards

At this point, Audra McDonald is part of Tony Awards history. McDonald previously won four featured actress Tonys in the play and musical categories for her roles in “Carousel” (1994), “Master Class” (1996), “Ragtime” (1998) and “A Raisin in the Sun” (2004). She is the only person to win in all four acting categories. Despite the cascade of awards, she told The New York Times in an interview last month that the recognition remained special. “It’s an honor,” she said while on a lunch break from working on yet another project.

☆ Maitreyi Ramakrishnan Is Done With School. On TV, Anyway.
  + stars: | 2023-06-08 | by ( Nancy Coleman | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
When we last saw Devi, she had about as much life as she could handle. She had just cashed in Ben’s handwritten coupon for “one free boink” — and, in doing so, traded in her long-detested V-Card. There are friendships and romantic prospects to balance, yes, but also admissions counselors to meet, universities to visit. Ramakrishnan, who grew up just outside Toronto, in Mississauga, Ontario, was once a normal teenager navigating high school herself, a first-generation daughter of Tamil immigrants from Sri Lanka. Like Devi, who is Indian American, she was raised in a multigenerational home — and still lives there with her family.

☆ ‘Black Panther’ and the New Blueprint for Female Warriors Onscreen
  + stars: | 2023-04-20 | by ( Nancy Coleman | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
There’s something courageous in her; she’s not going to walk into a space unprepared. There was a tender day on set [for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” filmed after Chadwick Boseman, the franchise’s original star, died in 2020] when we connected deeply. ], I was distraught about how terribly African women were portrayed in the West, if they ever were. The joy for me is to see Black women from around the world getting our stories told: Letitia [Wright, another “Black Panther” actor] is Guyanese British, and she had to learn a ton of Shona when she was the lead in my play at the Young Vic [“The Convert,” 2018-19, in London]. To have her doing our accents and intonations beautifully was like seeing the diaspora embracing itself.
☆ The Broadway Star Phillipa Soo Sings Her Favorite Pop Song
  + stars: | 2023-04-12 | by ( Nancy Coleman | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Phillipa Soo enjoys fantasy stories: “Lord of the Rings,” “House of the Dragon,” anything magical with kings and queens involved. That’s partly why, she says, she was drawn to this season’s Broadway revival of “Camelot,” based on the Arthurian legend and opening April 13 at Lincoln Center Theater. Soo, 32, stars opposite Andrew Burnap as Guenevere, King Arthur’s wife and ally — a role that’s long been associated with Julie Andrews, who originated the role onstage in 1960. Soo’s goal, then, is to make Guenevere “a real person,” someone driven above all by a desire to be loved. But this past year, she joined the “Into the Woods” Broadway revival as Cinderella, and then did a brief run as Sarah in “Guys and Dolls” at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
☆ An Artist’s Unflinching Exploration of American Minstrelsy
  + stars: | 2023-03-14 | by ( Nancy Coleman | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
“I’ll tell you a story: My wife and I were trying to sell our home in Austin years ago. For the life of me, we couldn’t sell it. One real estate agent said we needed to change every image we had in the house — all the photographs we had of ourselves, our family. Nothing could exist that suggested who we were as people. Within two weeks, the house sold.
☆ How Well Do You Know Your Holiday Movies?
  + stars: | 2022-12-23 | by ( Nancy Coleman | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
Santa Claus loses it and flees to a yoga retreat in Phoenix. It’s Nick Kringle’s first year picking up the mantle after the death of his father, Kris, and he’s understandably feeling a little pressure. His sister, Noelle, borrows the reindeer to track Nick down, bring him home and save Christmas from its impending Amazonification by their tech-savvy cousin.
