Glengarry Glen Ross Gets Six Tony Noms

 

I know, I know. You woke up this morning wondering how you would be able to concentrate on work knowing that today is the day the Tony Award nominations are announced. All right, so maybe the Tonys weren't the first thing on your mind, but we here at Inc. are happy to see that Glengarry Glen Ross took home six nominations including "Best Revival of a Play." In the May issue, we heard from entrepreneurs who love Glengarry as well as interviews with the stars of the current Broadway hit, including Alan Alda, Liev Schreiber and Gordon Clapp, who will be competing in the "Best Performance by a Featured Actor" category. Noteworthy because there is a lead actor category, but this production is ensemble work at its finest and a total team effort between actors, director, set designers and David Mamet. I saw it a couple of weeks ago and can't recommend Glengarry Glen Ross enough, one of the most dynamic and lively plays I've seen. Thrilling.

If you weren't planning a trip to New York City in the next few months, might be time to rethink the summer vacation. As Alda says, "twenty years later Glengarry Glen Ross isn't dated, it's more to the point than ever." Oh, and God willing, good Yankees tickets should be readily available.
