Tony Awards 2009 Winners

第63回トニー賞が発表になりました

ミュージカルでは、大方の予想通り『Billy Elliot, The Musical（ビリー・エリオット）』が10部門を制し、演劇作品では作品賞に輝いた『God of Carnage（ゴッド・オブ・カーネジ）』が３部門で獲得

映画「リトル・ダンサー」を舞台化した『ビリー・エリオット』では、主人公の少年を演じた３人がミュージカル主演男優賞を同時受賞しました。演出は映画版の監督でもあるスティーブン・ダルドリーで、見事ミュージカル演出賞にも輝いています（近日公開の映画「愛を読むひと」もダルドリー監督の作品で、主演のケイト・ウィンスレットがアカデミー賞主演女優賞を受賞するなど、今年は大活躍ですね）。
『ビリー・エリオット』の３人はまだ10代の少年ですが、一方の演劇部門では、83歳の名女優アンジェラ・ランズベリーが、『Blithe Spirit（陽気な幽霊）』で助演女優賞を受賞。トニー賞受賞は今回で５回目です。

ちなみに、私の予想が当たったのは、演劇作品賞、ミュージカル作品賞、演劇リバイバル作品賞、ミュージカルリバイバル作品賞、演劇主演男優賞、演劇主演女優賞、ミュージカル主演女優賞、演劇助演女優賞、ミュージカル助演女優賞、ミュージカル舞台美術賞、演劇衣装賞、演劇演出賞、ミュージカル演出賞でした。私の予想よりも『Billy Elliot』が沢山獲った（ロンドン作品だからもう少し厳しくなるかと思っていた）のですが、結構当たったかな。実際に観劇していない私の予想なんて適当ですけど、一応現地レポを演劇サイトで読んだり、授賞式の顔ぶれから推測したりして考えたのです。

授賞式の模様は、６月28日（日）19:30からＢＳ２で放送されます。『Billy Elliot』はもちろんんですが、リバイバルの『Hair』や『West Side Story』のパフォーマンスがめちゃくちゃ楽しみ
前日の27日（土）20：00～21：30には「ＢＳエンターテインメント  華麗なるショーの世界」として、ミュージカル特集番組が放送されます。笹本玲奈さん、井上芳雄さん、そして劇団四季（2010年春、東京・大井町に新たな専用劇場、四季劇場［夏］をオープンさせることが発表されました！）の歌とダンス、さらにはブロードウェイの最新情報が楽しめるようです。
また授賞式の放送の前に（13：00～17：59）、『カンパニー』と『シラノ・ド・ベルジュラック』もオンエアーされます
６月最後の週末は、theatergoerにとって至福の時間となりそうですね。

Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre

Special Tony Award

• Robert Russell Bennett (1894-1981)

ラテン系移民の街を描いたミュージカル『イン・ザ・ハイツ』が作品賞など４部門を受賞しましたが、最多の７部門を制したのはリバイバル作品賞の『南太平洋』。名作はやはり名作ということ、そして今の観客が観ても違和感のないような素晴らしい演出がなされているのだろうな、と思います。
同じくリバイバルの『ジプシー』で、約30年ぶりに主演女優賞を獲ったパティ・ルポン。『エビータ』以来の受賞にハイテンションになっている姿が可愛かったですね。『ジプシー』ではローラ・ベナンティ、ボイド・ゲインズも受賞しており、個人的には『イン・ザ・ハイツ』のような新しい潮流のミュージカルより、古い名作が印象に残ったトニー賞でした。アーサー・ロレンツがお元気そうだったのも何よりです。

Tony Awards 2007 Winners

第61回トニー賞の発表・授賞式が、今年もラジオシティーミュージックホールで行われました。
『Spring Awakening（春のめざめ）』が、８部門で受賞しましたね。1891年のドイツ戯曲がもとなのに音楽はロック。テーマはティーンエイジャーの性の萌芽。第二の『RENT』との呼び声高い作品なのだそうです。
演劇部門では、『The Coast of Utopia（コースト・オブ・ユートピア）』が、最優秀作品賞を含む７部門で受賞。ミュージカル以外の作品でこれほど多くの受賞するのは、トニー賞史上初めてだそうです。さすがトム・ストッパード！

なお、ＮＨＫ ＢＳ２での放送は16日、それに先立って「ニューヨークまるごと72時間」と題した特集がＢＳ１、２、ｈｉで放送されます。そちらも楽しみです(*^ｏ^*)

第60回トニー賞の発表・授賞式が11日夜、ニューヨークのラジオシティミュージックホールで行われました。

ミュージカル部門で最優秀作品賞や最優秀主演男優賞など４部門を受賞した「Jersey Boys」は1960年代に人気を集めたニュー・ジャージー州出身のポップグループ、フォー・シーズンズを題材にした作品です。演劇部門では「The History Boys」が最優秀作品賞など６部門を受賞しました（最優秀作品がどちらもBoysなのは偶然？）。

「The Drowsy Chaperone」がもうちょっと獲るのかと思っていましたが、違いましたね～。私の予想が当たったのは、ミュージカル部門の主演女優、演出、脚本、振付、リヴァイヴァル作品、編曲、演劇部門の作品、演出、リヴァイヴァル作品でした。
実際の舞台を観ていないので、私の予想なんて殆どカン。競馬の予想みたいなものですけどね。

授賞式の模様が生中継されないのが残念だけど、25日19時半～の放送が楽しみです。

ミュージカル作品賞など最多の13部門でノミネートされた「The Drowsy Chaperone」は、ブロードウェイを舞台にした作品だけに有力？
作詞作曲賞ノミネートのアンドリュー・ロイド・ウェバーは「The Woman in White」で久々のトニーを取れるのか？
ボブ・フォッシーの振付イメージが強い「The Pajama Game」でキャスリーン・マーシャルは振付賞を取れるのか？
トニー受賞者が３人もいる（サットン・フォスター、パティ・ルポン、チタ･リヴェラ）ミュージカル主演女優賞の行方は？

授賞式は６月11日。楽しみです。
