The Drama Desk Awards — commonly known as the theater world’s Golden Globes, though nominees are represented across all NYC productions in a season — are the last precursor to the Tony Awards (check EW.com tomorrow morning for a full list of those). And judging by the list below, it’s going to be quite a competitive year, with some pretty heavy-hitters mixed in with longshots, not to mention some major snubs (Alan Cumming, Cyndi Lauper, Fiona Shaw, Chaplin’s Rob McClure to name a few). The winners will be announced at NYC’s Town Hall on May 19. Below is...

James Corden also nominated for Broadway's biggest theatre gongs for his role in One Man, Two Guvnors – as is Tracie Bennett, for her turn as Judy Garland
The National theatre's Broadway version of One Man, Two Guvnors, starring James Corden as a gluttonous buffoon, has received seven nominations at this year's Tony Awards – but was trumped by the largely British creative team behind Once, which picked up 11 to lead the pack.
Corden goes head to head with Hollywood stars such as Philip Seymour Hoffman and James Earl Jones for best actor in a leading role in a play, while the National theatre's artistic director, Nicholas Hytner, is up for best director.
Corden, in particular, seems to have gone down well with American audiences – his nomination takes his Broadway tally to four, following similar nods at the Outer Critics Circle, Drama League and Drama Desk awards. Nonetheless, the National will be...

"Once," a contained sweet musical set in an Irish pub, leads the 66th Annual Tony Awards nominations with 11 nods. Jim Parsons ("The Big Bang Theory") and Kristin Chenoweth ("Gcb") announced the nominees from the New York Public Library for Performing Arts at Lincoln Center.
The incredibly vibrant Broadway season comes to a climax Sunday, June 10, with the broadcast of the annual awards. Neil Patrick Harris hosts the CBS live awards show from Manhattan's Beacon Theater.
"Once," based on the 2006 film, features musician-actors playing instruments and enchanting the audience. The Gershwin brothers continue to rack up honors, with two of their well known scores fueling two musicals with 10 nominations each: "The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess" and "Nice Work If You Can Get It."

The 2012 Tony Award nominations were announced this morning by Kristin Chenoweth and Jim Parsons, with the musicals leading the pack. "Once" -- adapted from the popular indie film -- came out on top with 11 nominations, The Gershwins' "Porgy and Bess" and "Nice Work If You Can Get It," both also musicals, trailed close behind with 10 a piece, and "Follies" and "Newsies" took a respectable eight each.
"Peter and the Starcatcher" picked up nine nominations, the most for a play, edging out this year's closest thing to a favorite, Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman," which gained seven. Philip Seymour Hoffman predictably earned a nod for his turn as Willy Loman in "Salesman," alongside fellow big names James Earl Jones ("The Best Man") and John Lithgow ("The Columnist"). Ricky Martin's divisive portrayal of Che in "Evita" got no love. "Evita," however, did snatch three nods, including one for best revival of a musical.

The musical version of "Ghost" opened in London this summer and is now slated to arrive on Broadway next spring. The 1990 Best Picture contender featured an Oscar-winning performance by Whoopi Goldberg as the psychic who communciates with the spirit of Patrick Swayze for the grieving Demi Moore. Bruce Joel Rubin adapted his Oscar-winning original screenplay while Grammy winner Dave Stewart and Glen Ballard penned the tunes. Tony champ Matthew Warchus ("God of Carnage") will handle helming as he did with the London production that stars Richard Fleeshman and Caissie Levy as the doomed couple and Sharon D. Clarke as the sassy seeress. Monday's announcement did not mention casting but confirmed that the musical will open at a Nederlander theater in April. Rob Howell will design the sets and costumes while Hugh Vanstone will handle lighting, Jon Driscoll will do the projection design and Paul Kieve will recreate the well-re...
