Broadway: Ouch! Drama League Awards Nominate Everything on the Boards Except “The Great Gatsby” Musical

On Broadway, The Drama League is not the Drama Desk. They’re an outlier group like the National Board of Review that nominates everything so everyone will come to their dinner.

So ouch! Today they nominated everything and everyone except for the musical version of “The Great Gatsby.” They threw one nom to actress Evelyn Noblezada. Otherwise they ignored this show. That’s not a good omen.

Their event is a lunch set for May 17th at noon. You can read the whole deal at www.dramaleague.org.
