Outer Critics Circle Awards

South Pacific performers heard some "Happy Talk" this morning. The revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein's classic musical at the Lincoln Center won four awards for the 58th annual Outer Critics Circle Awards, announced today. The Outer Critics Circle Awards are decided upon by a group of writers "covering New York theatre for out-of town newspapers, national publications and other media beyond Broadway," according to Playbill. While South Pacific nabbed the Outstanding Revival of a Musical, Director of a Musical, Actor in a Musical and Featured Actor in a Musical awards, Tracy Letts' Pulitzer Prize-winning drama August: Osage County picked up three awards: Outstanding New Broadway Play, Director of a Play and Actress in a Play. Raul Esparza and Eve Best got rewarded for their acting in The Homecoming, although we're bummed our main Deadwood Dad Ian McShane was snubbed for his terrifying performance.  read more »
