The Venue.

The venue for the 76th Tony Awards 2023 is the United Palace NYC.

The United Palace (originally Loew’s 175th Street Theatre) is a theater at 4140 Broadway in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. The theater, occupying a full city block bounded by Broadway, Wadsworth Avenue, and West 175th and 176th Streets, functions both as a spiritual center and as a nonprofit cultural and performing arts center.

Architect Thomas W. Lamb designed the theater as a movie palace, which opened in 1930 as one of five Loew’s Wonder Theatres in the New York City area. The theater’s lavishly eclectic interior decor was supervised by Harold Rambusch, who also designed the interior of the Roxy Theatre and the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.

The architectural style of the terra-cotta-faced United Palace was described as “Byzantine-Romanesque-Indo-Hindu-Sino-Moorish-Persian-Eclectic-Rococo-Deco” by David W. Dunlap of the New York Times.

The Fine Print.

Legitimate theatrical productions opening in any of the 41 eligible Broadway theatres during the current season could be considered for Tony nominations. The 2022/2023 eligibility season began Thursday, May 5, 2022, and ended Thursday, April 27, 2023. Seven hundred sixty-nine designated Tony voters from within the theatre community will vote on the nominations, which cover 26 categories.

As a Sr. Writer at T. Rowe Price, I work with a group of the best copywriters around. We belong to the broader creative team within Enterprise Creative, a part of Corporate Marketing Services. _____________________________________________ A long and winding road: My path to T. Rowe Price was more twisted than Fidelity’s green line. With scholarship in hand, I left Kansas at 18 to study theatre in New York. When my soap opera paychecks stopped coming from CBS and started coming from the show’s sponsor, Proctor & Gamble, I discovered the power of advertising and switched careers. Over the years I’ve owned an ad agency in San Francisco; worked for Norman Lear on All in the Family, Good Times, Sanford and Son, and the rest of his hit shows; and as a member of Directors Guild of America, I directed Desi Arnaz in his last television appearance— we remained friends until his death. In 1988 I began freelancing full time didn’t look back. In January 2012 my rep at Boss Group called and said, “I know you don’t want to commute and writing for the financial industry isn’t high on your wish list, but I have a gig with T. Rowe Price in Owings Mills…” I was a contractor for eight months, drank the corporate Kool-Aid, became a TRP associate that August, and today I find myself smiling more often than not.
