Give your regards to Broadway this Sunday as you watch the annual Tony Awards. But why watch alone at home when you could watch with your favorite drag queens around the city? We asked the hosts of three viewing parties who they think should take home prizes at this year’s ceremony. See who they picked.
PAIGE TURNER
“Kristin Chenoweth should win Best Actress. She takes the role of Lily in On the Twentieth Century and turns it out with a powerhouse comedic performance. Fun Home should definitely win Best Musical. I’d like to see Best Revival go to On the Town. It’s filled with some of the best Broadway dancers of all time.”
Slurp Tony Party at Therapy, 348 W 52nd St (btwn Eighth/Ninth Aves), 8pm; free.Visit therapy-nyc.com for more info.
CHOCOLATINA DESSERT
“I’m a sucker for big showy numbers and lots of tap so I’m really rooting for Something Rotten! Who doesn’t love a number about omelets with tap-dancing eggs?”
Sixth Annual Tony Party at The Stonewall Inn, 53 Christopher St (btwn Seventh Ave/Waverly Pl), 7pm; $10. Visit thestonewallinnnyc.com for more info.
HEDDA LETTUCE
“I want Chita Rivera and Kristen Chenoweth to share the Best Actress award and then do a revival of Sideshow with them as the conjoined twins.”
