The Drama Desk Awards — commonly known as the theater world’s Golden Globes, though nominees are represented across all NYC productions in a season — are the last precursor to the Tony Awards (check EW.com tomorrow morning for a full list of those). And judging by the list below, it’s going to be quite a competitive year, with some pretty heavy-hitters mixed in with longshots, not to mention some major snubs (Alan Cumming, Cyndi Lauper, Fiona Shaw, Chaplin’s Rob McClure to name a few). The winners will be announced at NYC’s Town Hall on May 19. Below is...

The first entry in the fall season — Chaplin: the Musical, a biographical musical about cinema great Charlie Chaplin — has officially opened on Broadway, and the reviews are in. The New York Times, Variety Magazine and The New York Post all say basically the same thing: The show is trite and cliched, but when it gets things right, it really gets it right.
These reviews agree that the best part of the show is Rob McClure‘s leading performance. McClure is able to capture Chaplin’s physicality, particularly his trademark duck walk. Even if the show moves too fast for McClure to flesh Chaplin out fully, McClure comes across as entirely likeable. When this show premiered at the La Jolla Playhouse in California, McClure was an unknown and is now likely to garner himself his first Tony nomination — he may even take home the prize.

Hey everybody. Michael C here fresh from seeing one of the legends of the cinema sing and dance his way through his life story.
At one point during Chaplin, The Musical which opens tonight on Broadway, a troop of Little Tramps march on stage to perform a chorus line version of the classic dinner roll dance from Chaplin’s The Gold Rush. It was at this point that I began to suspect that the show had not quite licked the problem of how to adapt the life and times of the silent film genius to the Great White Way.
Trying to cram anybody’s life into a coherent story structure is always going to be a daunting task. Chaplin, The Musical attempts to compensate for the familiarity of their approach with heaping helpings of Broadway razzle-dazzle. And while there is an undeniable thrill to watching performers executing in real time...
