Nominations for the 26th annual edition of the Lucille Lortel Awards were announced Thursday. Two new works -- "This Wide Night" and "Other Desert Cities" lead with five bids apiece. "Night," written by Chloe Moss in 2008, is not contending for Best Play but did land a Best Actress bid for Edie Falco. "Cities" by Jon Robin Baitz was performed in the off-Broadway theater at Lincoln Center but will be remounted in the fall in a Broadway house. It is in the running for Best Play and earned nods for featured players Linda Lavin and Thomas Sadoski. The Lortels are handed out in a range of categories. Some are akin to those at the Tony Awards, which salute the best of Broadway, such as Best Play and Best Musical. Among the musical nominees is "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson," which was a smash hit at the Public Theater but had a short-lived rialto run last fall.

There’s a sudden appetite for Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” to become a transmedia spectacle. Filmmaker Danny Boyle is currently directing an adaptation of the classic Victorian novel for the National Theatre (with Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller alternating roles as Frankenstein and his Creature), which was also broadcast to selected cinemas around the world. And last night, BBC3 delivered the horror-musical Frankenstein’s Wedding (a modern spin on Shelley’s masterpiece), which went out live to the nation from Leeds’ Kirkstall Abbey, where 12,000 people had gathered to be part of the performance.
There was ambition to Frankenstein’s Wedding, that much is definitely true, but this live 80-minute spectacle was a mostly laborious and underwhelming flop. A great idea, but the execution didn’t fulfill its promise. Opening on Kirkstall Abbey (after a weird intro from DJ Reggie Yates) the live audience were playing the wedding guests for...
