Congratulations to the creators and performers of Days of Wine and Roses and Here Lies Love on their multiple Tony Awards nominations and more.

Days of Wine and Roses has received three Tony Awards nominations: Best Original Score for Adam Guettel, Best Leading Actress in a Musical for Kelli O'Hara, and Best Leading Actor in a Musical for Brian d'Arcy James. Both O'Hara and d'Arcy James have also been nominated for Drama Desk Awards for Outstanding Lead Performance in a Musical. Days of Wine and Roses has also received six Outer Critics Circle Awards nominations: Outstanding New Broadway Musical, Outstanding Lead Performer in a Broadway Musical for Brian d'Arcy James and Kelli O'Hara, Outstanding Score for Adam Guettel, Outstanding Orchestrations for Adam Guettel and Jamie Lawrence, and Outstanding Direction of a Musical for Michael Greif. O'Hara is up for the Drama League Distinguished Performance Award. You can hear the cast album and pre-order the CD here.

The original cast recording of Days and Wine and Roses was released digitally on Nonesuch in December and will be available on CD on May 17. “Repeated listenings compound the amazement,” the New York Times says of Guettel’s work, which “has always offered that kind of challenge—initially leaving a feeling of: Beautiful, but wait, I need to hear it again—and those up for it have a way of coming away shining like Moses down from the Mount. The new score has the same effect.”

Here Lies Love has received four Tony Awards nominations: Best Original Score for David Byrne and Fatboy Slim, Best Sound Design of a Musical for M.L. Dogg and Cody Spencer, Best Scenic Design of a Musical for David Korins, and Best Choreography for Annie-B Parson. Here Lies Love has also earned three Outer Critics Circle Awards nominations, for Outstanding Revival of a Musical, Outstanding Lighting Design, and Outstanding Sound Design, and three Drama League Awards nominations, for Outstanding Revival of a Musical, Outstanding Direction of a Musical for Alex Timbers, and Distinguished Performance Award for Conrad Ricamora.

David Byrne and Fatboy Slim’s acclaimed 2010 album Here Lies Love received its first vinyl release to coincide with the 2023 premiere Broadway production last August. This double-disc song cycle about the rise and fall of the Philippines’ notorious Imelda Marcos was conceived by David Byrne; composed by Byrne and Fatboy Slim; and performed by a dream cast drawn from the worlds of indie rock, alt country, R&B, and pop, including Florence Welch, Cyndi Lauper, Steve Earle, Sharon Jones, Natalie Merchant, Tori Amos, Kate Pierson, St. Vincent, My Brightest Diamond, Nellie McKay, Martha Wainwright, Róisín Murphy, Santigold, and Byrne himself. “Ingenious,” said the New York Times. “Insidiously infective songs.” You can get it and hear it here.

Kudos as well to Nonesuch artist Timo Andres, who is up for both a Tony Award and a Drama Desk Award for Best Orchestrations for multiple nominee Illinoise. Andres’ new album, The Blind Banister, released last month, comprises three works by the composer/pianist: the piano concerto The Blind Banister (a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2016), with Andres as soloist, and Upstate Obscura for chamber orchestra and cello, with soloist Inbal Segev—both of which feature Metropolis Ensemble and conductor Andrew Cyr—and the solo piano piece Colorful History, also performed by Andres. You can get it and hear it here.

The 77th Annual Tony Awards will be broadcast live from Lincoln Center in New York City on Sunday, June 16, at 8pm ET on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ in the US. Winners of the Drama Desk Awards will be named June 10 in an awards ceremony at The Skirball Center for the Performing Arts in New York. Winners of the Outer Critics Circle Awards will be announced May 13 with an awards ceremony to follow May 23. Winners of the Drama League Awards will be announced in a ceremony at The Ziegfeld Ballroom in New York City on May 17.

    The Way Out of Easy, the first album from guitarist Jeff Parker and his long-running ETA IVtet—saxophonist Josh Johnson, bassist Anna Butterss, drummer Jay Bellerose—since their 2022 debut Mondays at the Enfield Tennis Academy, which Pitchfork named one of the Best Albums of the 2020s So Far, is due November 22 on International Anthem / Nonesuch Records. Like that album, The Way Out of Easy comprises recordings from LA venue ETA, where Parker and the ensemble held a weekly residency for seven years. During that time, the ETA IVtet evolved from a band that played mostly standards into a group known for its transcendent, long-form journeys into innovative, groove-oriented improvised music. All four tracks on The Way Out of Easy come from a single night in 2023, providing an unfiltered view of the ensemble, fully in their element. You can watch a video for the seventeen-minute album track "Late Autumn," made by Mikel Patrick Avery, here.

    "For some five decades, artist and musician Laurie Anderson has been redefining cultural boundaries," says PBS NewsHour host Amna Nawaz. "In a new album, she's now exploring the story of an earlier woman who reached for the heights." Anderson spoke about that album, Amelia, and more with NewsHour senior arts correspondent Jeffrey Brown. "The stories you tell yourself about who you are and what you want, those are stories to help you live," she says. "If you don't have those suddenly, it's terrifying. I mean, you will keep living ... but it's the story that keeps you going." You can watch their conversation here.
