...four Drama Desk Awards! ;D
NEW YORK – Rhythm 'n' blues were the winners at this year's Drama Desk Awards.
The exuberant musical "Memphis" led the list of winners at Sunday's ceremony held by the Drama Desk, an organization of theater journalists and critics.
The new musical set in 1950s Memphis dance clubs picked up four prizes including best musical, orchestration, and music, which went to Bon Jovi keyboard player David Bryan. "Memphis" actress Montego Glover tied with Catherine Zeta Jones in "A Little Night Music" for Outstanding Actress in a Musical. Glover plays a black club singer who falls in love with a white DJ.
"Memphis" is also nominated for eight Tony Awards, which will be presented next month.
Congrats, David, Joe, and the amazing Cast and Crew of Memphis!
