The Tri-State was well represented at last night's Tony Awards, as native sons - one from Huntington and one from Ashland - were nominated for two major awards.Here's the story from the Associated Press:
Two Tri-State natives were nominated for Tony Awards — and one of them brought home the coveted award Sunday evening.
Ashland native Steve Kazee (that's him on the right) won Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical for his heartfelt and touching performance in Once, which ended the night with seven awards, including Best Musical.
Huntington native Michael Cerveris (left) was nominated for Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical for his work in Evita. That award went to Michael McGrath for Nice Work If You Can Get It. Cerveris is also a regular guest star in the TV show Fringe.In Once Kazee plays an Irish street musician and vacuum cleaner repairman in Dublin who falls in love with a Czech flower seller. It’s based on the 2007 film that featured the Oscar-winning song “Falling Slowly.”
A 36-year-old rising star and guitar player with matinee idol looks, Kazee has gone from replacement parts in Spamalot to an understudy role in Seascape to starring in 110 in the Shade. He also starred on CMT’s series Working Class.
