00:01Well, the Tony Awards ceremony has begun, and Kyomoto-san is opening.
00:06The theme was amazing too.
00:07It's gorgeous and the sense of speed is amazing!
00:10Cynthia's singing was also wonderful.
00:13Those who sing with the microphone facing the audience.
00:17They're all delicious, too.
00:18That's so cool, it's something you'd expect from the Tony Awards.
00:20That would definitely be unpleasant under normal circumstances, wouldn't it?
00:22That's right.
00:23How was it, Kageyama-san?
00:25That was amazing, Cynthia! It was exactly as Mr. Ushiro said.
00:28ri
00:28They really captured the audience's hearts with this.
00:31It feels a little more damp than usual this year.
00:35For the past few years, it's been something danceable.
00:37It was a bit on the comedic side.
00:39It felt like all that was needed was her singing voice.
00:43And then, Ms. Cannellef appeared as the presenter.
00:46I was surprised.
00:47For us Japanese people, it's kind of...
00:49I love ramen so much, and I appreciate it.
00:52surely
00:52I was also really impressed by how much they love Japan.
00:55Therefore
00:55I'm really happy that you're coming out.
00:57She really hasn't changed at all, no matter how many years pass.
00:59It hasn't changed at all.
01:01Really
01:02Now, Mr. Cannellef is waiting for the Five to be performed this fall.
01:05I'm going to be starring in it.
01:08I bet things are getting exciting at the Osaka studio too.
01:11Yoshio-san
01:12Yes, yes, yes, the opening is really good, isn't it?
01:17I was quite excited.
01:18Puff from Destiny, nominated for Best Musical
01:21The performance was also incredibly extravagant.
01:23Urai-kun, what did you think? This is really a live performance right now.
01:27The fact that we can see the things that are being sold right here
01:30That's right, if this were recorded, everyone would be angry.
01:33I think it's an incredible luxury.
01:36The saying goes, "The early bird catches the worm," and I'm glad I woke up early.
01:40Urai-kun is clever.
01:42And what do you think, teacher?
01:43I'm not really good at saying anything clever, but...
01:44Please tell me.
01:45I'm glad I got to see this work, since it's the only one I haven't seen.
01:49That's true.
01:50Up to this point, various important parodies of musical Joy
01:52It was fun to be able to leave work early to do the "i" thing.
01:55It was certainly extravagant, but I couldn't understand the story at all from just this one song.
01:59I totally understand.
01:59My desire to see it has only grown stronger.
02:01Saayuma-chan's Tokyo studio is now open.
02:04It's getting exciting over there too.
02:06It's getting quite exciting.
02:09Next up are the nominees for Best Musical.
02:11done
02:12Buena Vista Social Club performance
02:14It is scheduled to happen.
02:16I wonder what kind of performance Kageyama-san will give.
02:18This is a song called Candella, which has a very Cuban sound.
02:20Actually, in the main story, in the first act there is an old, kind musician
02:24Chiga got together in 1996 to record and had a great time.
02:27That's the song.
02:28This time, the story takes place in 1956, when a young heroine is in a poor neighborhood.
02:33Navista Social Club
02:34It feels like you're visiting the place and setting foot inside for the very first time.
02:37I think I'll get hit.
02:39It's like looking at yourself as an adult.
02:42Are you both watching this?
02:44I haven't been able to see it.
02:45So here is a performance by the Buena Vista Social Club.
02:47It's Month
02:50Buena Vista Social Club performance
02:53However
02:54How was it, Kyomoto-san?
02:56Wow, this is really unusual, isn't it?
02:58It was a truly unique worldview.
03:00The dancing and singing definitely had a Cuban feel to them.
03:02I was surprised by the guitar too.
03:04That was cool.
03:04The guitar strokes and groove are very Cuban.
03:08I thought this was really cool.
03:10The choreography and music are truly amazing, words can't describe it.
03:15I mean, there isn't any
03:17To be honest, I don't really understand what's going on.
03:19It instantly draws you into that world.
03:22It's gotten hot, hasn't it?
03:23It was a fantastic performance.
03:25Next, we will announce the winners of the Musical Supporting Actor Award.
03:29Nominee's Carple is here.
03:32So, as you can see, this is the CarPre.
03:35Are there any people who are paying attention to Kyomoto-san?
03:37Yes, I watched the smash so
03:40Mr. Brooks, this person is
03:43It was like the audience had completely taken over the venue.
03:48It was more of a comedy.
03:50There was a lot of laughter too.
03:52Every time this person speaks or moves
03:55There's bound to be laughter somewhere or another.
03:58Therefore, its presence was overwhelming.
04:00I'm absolutely certain this is a well-deserved nomination.
04:02It makes you want to take a look, doesn't it?
04:04What kind of people are Mr. Ueyama and Mr. Brooks?
04:07If we go with that female performer award, then probably,
04:09I think Jack Marlow will be taking the photos.
04:11But
04:12Brooks is truly a veteran, so the two of them were laughing together.
04:15I agree
04:16I definitely want you to take a picture.
04:18The musicals of Marilyn Monroe that are produced in the film
04:21Ru
04:21So you mean the director?
04:24It doesn't seem like that kind of comedy part.
04:26Actually, I met the producer of Smash.
04:29I was able to conduct an interview on-site.
04:30Please take a look at that as well.
04:40Master director Steven Spielberg is the executive producer
04:43He served as conductor
04:44The TV drama Smash, a huge hit in America
04:49That smash is going to be a musical on Broadway.
04:54Based on Marilyn Monroe
04:56This work depicts the production process of a fictional musical.
05:03This time, I'm working with director Spielberg as a producer.
05:06The person who served in that role was
05:07With Melon, the producer of the drama series
05:10Greenblack, the former chairman of NBC, which broadcast the drama series
05:14Mr. Do
05:16Ms. Kyomoto interviewed him at a Broadway theater.
05:22I think this work called Smash was originally a drama series.
05:24But
05:25How did it end up being performed on Broadway?
05:27mosquito
05:28Director Spielberg looks at the points he himself created.
05:33Then the TV producer's editing
05:37I wrote the story.
05:39The video producer's artwork is
05:41The ability to retain Alther's smash
05:45The only thing that was bright about those things was
05:46In the war of Sabradaway
05:47In the drama version
05:48Broadway
05:50Birdway
05:51Broadway
05:52Broadway
05:52Broadway
05:53Broadway
05:55Broadway
05:57For the 16-year period
06:00Spielberg, who is involved with this Broadway production,
06:02there
06:03What kind of vision did you have when you took on this challenge?
06:25It was an interview video, what did you think?
06:27It was a valuable interview, but
06:28When I watched Smash,
06:31I had also watched the drama series.
06:33The difference was really clear.
06:35The entire stage production was truly in a comedic style.
06:39It had transformed into a work that kept me laughing from beginning to end.
06:42Therefore
06:42I certainly did when I was watching the drama series.
06:44I had a more serious image of directors.
06:47I was wondering what it meant for laughter to occur.
06:50It really felt like I was watching a completely different work.
06:52Also, the presence of the cast members was quite different, which made it interesting.
06:55is
06:55I would definitely like to see the difference as well.
06:58Next up is the performer who won the grand prize for his leading role in a musical last year.
07:01I did
07:01Jonathan Groff is in it.
07:03We also offer just-in-time performance.
07:05Kageyama-san, what kind of works are these?
07:07This is Bobby Darin, who was active from the 1950s to the 1970s.
07:10It's a story about lyrics that really took off.
07:12Jonathan Groff
07:13Hi, I'm Jonathan, I'll be your Bobby Darling tonight
07:16I'm going to become Bobby Darin
07:20He liked clubs.
07:21nightclub
07:22To completely recreate or revive it
07:24The atmosphere of a currently famous nightclub
07:27That's about right.
07:27All that's left is to see if Jonathan Groff's spit is shown.
07:30I don't know.
07:30That's amazing!
07:31It's a baptismal shower.
07:32I'm looking forward to it.
07:33Just-in-time performance
07:34Please pay attention to those details as well.
07:38So,
07:39A truly breathtaking performance.
07:53If they're singers of this caliber
07:55Smoke and lighting should be enough.
07:57It sounds like the director is taking on a challenge of his own.
08:00Their expressiveness was wonderful.
08:02It was truly wonderful.
08:04How was it?
08:05This is exactly the feeling I was looking for.
08:07On the Broadway stage
08:08They're going to do this on a big stage, right?
08:10And then everyone stands up.
08:11I have no choice but to stand.
08:13I agree
08:13If you take that test now...
08:14How was it, Emma?
08:15I think I'll just have to do it somewhere
08:17Nicole, who is playing the role
08:19Originally called the Pussycat Dolls
08:21I was in an idol group
08:22Those who remember that era
08:25It felt like the idol singer had made a comeback.
08:28It might be rude to say this, but...
08:30I think there were some people who were looking at it with such a cynical eye.
08:33The moment she said, "I'm back"
08:36Everyone goes "Whew," I guess.
08:39Because I know about her achievements
08:41And I'm standing on a Broadway stage in New York again.
08:44is
08:44I think it must be quite an emotional experience for them.
08:48Now, I'm one of the presenters for the Best Actress Award in Theater.
08:51The actor who played Drago Malfoy in the Harry Potter series
08:54Tom Felton was there too.
08:56And for the first time, he's a main cast member in the film version.
08:59It was announced that I will be appearing in the stage version of Y.
09:04I just happened to see that news the other day.
09:06I'll take a screenshot soon.
09:08I'm definitely planning to go.
09:10Are you a fan?
09:11I really love Harry Potter.
09:12Is that so?
09:13I saw Drago Malfoy actually on stage
09:16I can't believe it
09:17It's a rare experience.
09:18That's a luxury, isn't it?
09:19I'd like to go if I can find some time.
09:21It's certainly a rather long production, but
09:23Let's definitely go and pay our respects to Lord Malfoy!
09:26Now, let's learn more about the Tony Awards.
09:29Special supporter Kyomoto's questions about the Tony Awards
09:32is
09:32So, what's the next question?
09:33Next up is this one.
09:36The Tony Awards ceremony is open to the public.
09:40The question is whether or not that is the case.
09:42It's amazing that you can see so many different performances live.
09:44Since it's an opportunity
09:45Isn't this just the most fun thing ever?
09:47I wonder, is it possible to get tickets and see it that way?
09:50can
09:50It's possible.
09:51Yes, you can.
09:52However, this only applies to Radio City Music Hall.
09:55Only at this venue
09:56This was the first time we did it here in 1997.
09:59At that time, 1786 tickets were sold to the general public.
10:02The price has gone up a bit now, and it costs around 80,000 to 115,000 yen.
10:06That's quite expensive.
10:07That's quite expensive.
10:08But back then, it was $125.
10:11It can't be helped, this is due to rising prices.
10:14But you can see it.
10:14Oh really? That's wonderful!
10:17You can see it if you pay.
10:18A whole range of performances from different works
10:21But we know the luxury of watching it via live broadcast like this.
10:25This is also a luxury, isn't it?
10:26But, well, well, well, I'm sure you'll listen to our story.
10:29probably
10:30Yoshio-san
10:32Yes, yes
10:33How was it?
10:34I really want to see it, I want to go to Radio City!
10:38I'll pay you, so please let me go.
10:40Next up is the pirates' performance.
10:42Teacher, what kind of work is this?
10:44This was first performed in the second half of the 19th century.
10:47So the pirates of Fenzers are operators, huh?
10:49So you're an operator.
10:50Unlike opera, an operator is different.
10:52It's quite different from opera, but...
10:55Many of them are comedic.
10:57And it's not just songs, there are lines of dialogue too.
11:00In some cases, there are also opportunities to showcase dancing.
11:02In terms of format, it's no different from a musical.
11:04The difference is, of course, the music.
11:08This song was originally in a classical style.
11:12This time, I'm arranging it in jazz.
11:15Well then, I'm already playing more musical roles.
11:17That's why I think it's called "The Musical."
11:20I'm looking forward to it.
11:20Next up, the award for Best Actress in a Musical will be announced.
11:23Masu
11:23If you are nominated, this is the lineup.
11:26please
11:28They are quite an impressive group.
11:29The actress that the teacher is paying attention to is
11:32I guess it's Natalie Benichia Belcon, right?
11:35It's Buenavis's after all.
11:36Her singing ability and stage presence were absolutely overwhelming.
11:40It's true that I'll be playing the role of a legendary singer.
11:43I think that's quite a difficult thing.
11:44She was incredibly persuasive, wasn't she?
11:47No, there wasn't.
11:48But I think this is the lead role.
11:52Sometimes there are treatments available, right?
11:53It's a female role, isn't it?
11:55And then there's Joy Woods, the gypsy
11:57She's been appearing in so many different works lately.
12:01They're definitely a stock to watch.
12:03Well, there are many things to look forward to.
12:04I'm returning Yamachan to Tokyo.
12:08Personally, I really admire Gracie Lawrence.
12:12Watch closely
12:13That's because she was active as a singer with her older brother.
12:18They do exist, don't they?
12:19So I think that normally, I know him more as a singer than as an actor.
12:23Because he was someone who was
12:24I never imagined that person would make their Broadway debut.
12:27Because I didn't
12:27I'm personally paying a lot of attention to this.
12:29How about Kageyama-san?
12:31I also think that when Natali takes a picture of Natali, it's Natali.
12:33Right?
12:33Singing ability and
12:34That's right
12:35I cornered the entire venue.
12:39That's why I really want someone like that to take the photos.
12:42Indeed, even with that short performance just now...
12:44I was really drawn in by it.
12:47Next up is the Musical Actress Award.
12:49And the Musical Revival Award
12:50Pirates the Pensance performance in the back
12:53It's Month
12:54Next up is Hamilton
12:56This is a performance by the original cast.
12:58Let's take another look at the great achievements Hamilton has accomplished.
13:01I'll return
13:02No matter what you say
13:04The most ever at the Tony Awards
13:06It won in 11 out of 16 nominations.
13:10In 2016, it was approximately 373 million yen per week.
13:14amazing
13:15It is said to set a new record for the highest amount ever.
13:18A true hit
13:20Let's take a look at Meimei, who appeared in the show at the time.
13:22Lin-Manuel Miranda as Hamilton
13:25beginning
13:25Leslie Odom Jr. Jonathan
13:27Grof
13:27And now that I see Ariana DeBose, it's really
13:30It's a truly impressive group of people.
13:31I'm looking forward to seeing Kyomoto-san.
13:33I'm looking forward to it, especially since Jonathan Groff will be there.
13:36With such a cast
13:37It's like this project was the catalyst for him to just go out and do it, right?
13:40I did see it over there, too.
13:43I also watched the streaming version, but
13:46What impact has this work had on the musical world?
13:50Isn't there something immeasurable about it?
13:51It was revolutionary, wasn't it?
13:52It was truly revolutionary.
13:54It feels like it's about before and after that time.
13:56How about Kageyama-san?
13:57Yes, in this performance
13:59So you're going to fill in the gaps with melodies for all eight songs?
14:02There are a total of 9 songs, but I'll just say 8.
14:04It's like we're going to reprise it one more time at the end.
14:07Anyway, what kind of
14:08It may contain a political message.
14:11It seems Hamilton is once again attracting attention.
14:16I guess it's also a sign of the times.
14:17Yes, I think so too.
14:19And next up is
14:21The winners of the Theater Revival Award will also be announced.
14:23Let's review the nominations.
14:33Eureka Day
14:38My town
14:43Romeo and Juliet
14:48Yellowface
14:54Okay, so Kageyama-san, could you tell us about another noteworthy work? This one is interesting, it's from before.
14:58The works have already closed their doors, and none of them have been performed yet.
15:01It hasn't been mentioned yet, and it's said that Eureka Day is still the strongest.
15:03However, on May 16th, this Yellowface appeared on TV
15:07Since it was broadcast and became a reminder, perhaps this fierce pursuit will lead to...
15:10There's a possibility that Yellowface will take the picture, but for now...
15:13- As if Lecady were famous or influential.
15:20By the way, is being a hot topic an advantage?
15:24I could still watch TV even though it was over.
15:27I feel like I want to see it again.
15:29That will be encouraging.
15:30surely
15:31And next up is Jeremy Jordan, a favorite of Kyomoto-san.
15:34Mr. Miss.
15:34Please do.
15:35What's it like to see Floyd Collins perform?
15:37Are you looking forward to it?
15:38The difficulty of the song really stood out, so I'd like to listen to it again.
15:42I get a little excited when I think about being able to listen to songs.
15:44surely
15:45The pain of singing while being completely unable to move
15:49Anyone who's ever been involved in singing would understand, right?
15:52From the rangers' perspective, it's a little frightening, isn't it?
15:54That's a little scary, isn't it?
15:56Next up is Hamilton
15:58Floyd Collins' performances and theater
16:00The winner of the Best Revival Film Award has been announced.
16:05Thank you.
16:06I intended to touch your heart, but
16:08And the award for Best Musical Direction went to Michael Arden Me
16:11I played Ivy Happy Ending.
16:14Well, I suppose it's a reasonable outcome.
16:16Actually, I interviewed Michael in New York.
16:19That's when I heard about Maybe Happy Ending.
16:22But
16:23While I hold it with respect, I personally don't like the Korean version.
16:27I haven't seen it.
16:28How do you do it on Broadway?
16:30Including the tryouts, we will create the direction that is truly necessary for the work.
16:34Let's reveal
16:35And then she takes off her costume again, wow, that's amazing, truly wonderful, Yu
16:39I think he's a very talented director, what do you think, sir? I agree completely.
16:42But as I said earlier, the good points of that work remain unchanged.
16:47Well, it's difficult to get this far, it's really difficult.
16:50It's quite remarkable to live like that without losing one's true essence.
16:54I thought so.
16:55Well, when I practiced with him, he really was an actor every single morning.
16:59So, what's up? Is there anything you want to say?
17:03That gentle Enscanes, his sensitivity and as a person
17:06I thought it really showed how wonderful it was.
17:08Congratulations! We will now return you to Tokyo.
17:12Next up is the announcement of the winning theater troupe.
17:15Let's look back at the nominations.
17:16Please watch this video.
17:25From Good Night & Good Luck - George Kru
17:28- From O Mary to Call S. Cola
17:34John Michael Hill and Harry from Purpose
17:43J. Lennix
17:49Daniel Day Kimst from Yellowface
17:56Ruin Macca from Ranger Things: The Beginning
17:59Tony, what an incredible lineup George Krunin
18:04His name is also mentioned, but Mr. Kagiyama's attention is focused on George Kuru.
18:07- If that person wins, they'll deliver a powerful political message in their speech.
18:09I think he will say it, but this is definitely O'Mary's
18:13The woman and he
18:14A self-proclaimed interesting person is a leading actress in theater, Ms. Sarasnuk.
18:17The winner of the award will perform all 26 roles and be bound by the rules.
18:21Tondo is a man, so what's interesting is that he plays the lead role in this production.
18:25In the play, everyone plays a character of a different gender than the one they were born with.
18:30Those who do so will probably start calling themselves that.
18:33That theme certainly came up quite a bit in this year's speeches.
18:38It's been happening, but perhaps the non-binary way of thinking is...
18:42There might be a thematic element to it.
18:47Furthermore, Dead Outlaw's performance forecast
18:50It is set
18:51This starts with a gentle ballad, then we gaze at the stars and appreciate nature.
18:56But when the train whistle blows, they start robbing people from there.
19:02The band's popularity is rising, and it all started in 1911 with a robbery.
19:06The leader became the narrator and told the story, and he died at the age of 31.
19:10Become
19:11Until 65 years later, when the body was discovered as a mummy.
19:14The story is presented in this way, with the opening arranged in this manner.
19:18I think that's how it will be.
19:18I see
19:19Hyomoto's work is also noteworthy.
19:21You can see the initial immersive part of the work.
19:24You can see everything.
19:25From the very beginning, right up to the first song
19:28I'm really curious about how it's going to be implemented there.
19:31Therefore
19:31I can't imagine it.
19:32That's right.
19:33I'm not even sure how to describe a mummy.
19:36I am looking forward to it.
19:39So, next up is the Best Actor in a Play and Dead Outro
19:44- This is a performance.
19:46It's an exciting experience that I can't quite imagine.
19:52The fantastic performance continues,
19:54What did you think of Kyomoto-san's gypsy performance?
19:57I've never seen it before, but the singing seems difficult, especially the breathing.
20:01That song is difficult, isn't it?
20:02The formation of the five members was absolutely wonderful.
20:05Audra's powerful performance is truly amazing
20:10It's definitely based on her personality and acting skills.
20:15For example, of course Audra is a soprano.
20:18I'm not the type of singer who sings in my natural voice.
20:22All of her obsession, blessings, and love as Mama Rose
20:27Staying inside
20:28I'm starting to think that voice quality and things like that don't really matter anymore.
20:33I think it has a strength that makes you think.
20:35I still think this is Audra's Gypsy.
20:39When viewed with this understanding, it's a truly wonderful work.
20:41Indeed, this is almost the first time that a Black person has played the role.
20:45There are some things that are a first for me.
20:46That's right, there are definitely colors that are unique to that.
20:50That was cool.
20:52And now, the award for Best Musical Revival goes to...
20:55Sunset Boulevard received the award.
20:59Well, I just couldn't really accept Katsuta-san.
21:03There was also
21:03He said that, but it was a truly innovative production.
21:05I thought it was interesting.
21:08I think there's a whole new form of musical production out there.
21:12Next up is the announcement of the Best Leading Actor in a Musical award.
21:14Please see here.
21:22Darren Criss from Maybe Happy Ending
21:29Andrew Dura from Dead Outlaw
21:32nd
21:36Tom Francis from Sunset Boulevard
21:46Jonathan Groff from Just In Time
21:53A Wonderful World - The Louis Amstro
21:56From the musical
21:57James Monroe Iglehart
22:03Jeremy Jordan is better than Floyd Collins
22:09So, who are the strongest contenders for Best Leading Actor in a Musical, Mr. Kageyama?
22:13Well, this is because Jonathan Groff did his best to escape.
22:17There is a possibility that he will win the award for the second year in a row, but Darren
22:22Chris is in hot pursuit, so maybe he'll catch up there.
22:26Will Jonathan Groff escape or not?
22:28I wonder which one it will be, I guess he will get it, but
22:32While staying there, as expected, Jonathan Groff left
22:34I received an award in my first year, and it was and
22:36This was very impressive, and it was almost too much like a champion, so I took a photo again this year.
22:41Of course, it was a fantastic performance.
22:43I think it would be nice if Darren Criss could also direct it.
22:46Do you have any? Kyomoto-san, what do you think? Jeremy Jordan, you know?
22:51It's also the first film I saw when I went to New York, so it holds a special place in my heart.
22:54There are also those, and surprisingly, there aren't many, so I'd really like you to take some photos.
22:57Jeremy's performance was truly wonderful.
22:59Right?
23:00Well, as I mentioned earlier, what kind of works did you encounter at that time?
23:06Whether you can compete, the timing, and who your rivals are all factors
23:10It's not like the outcome is decided, and there are some tough aspects to this, but
23:16Andrew is definitely dead out
23:19Mr. Tro Andrew is the one I let do before
23:23The protagonist of the work I received, "The Sky of Silvour," is Guy.
23:27There's a role that he played, and it seems he's played that role before.
23:29in
23:33But when I think about it, at times like these, it really feels like it's about me this year.
23:38Even as I sat down in the audience, I felt like it wasn't me.
23:42I think that's the case, but they really praise each other
23:45That's what the Tony Awards are all about, so no matter who wins, it's still disappointing.
23:50I think the fact that you can also applaud is something unique to the Tony Awards.
23:55Next up is a performance by Real Women Hub Curves.
23:59Month will be held
23:59Please take a look here. First of all, Mr. Kageyama, what kind of work is it? Immigration issue.
24:04The story deals with various jobs, set in LA in 1987.
24:08Immigrants often juggle multiple jobs at once.
24:11It's a place where you have to take on extra income to make a living.
24:14I think they'll recreate this this time too. What kind of musical style is it?
24:19The song is called "Poppy Juggling"
24:22The title sounds interesting, and it has a nice, modern feel to it.
24:27And now, next up is the announcement of the winner of the Musical Leading Man competition.
24:31Real Women Have Curves The Musical
24:34Performance
