Joey and Clarence are joined by Frank J. Avella to recap the 2025 Tony Awards presentation, the winners, the surprises, and more.

The 2025 Tony Awards aired last night on CBS to a dramatically increased audience. Did the show put its best foot forward? With Megan away for the night, Joey and Clarence are joined by Frank J. Avella who has provided excellent Broadway coverage for The Contending all season. We break down the show’s best moments and weigh in on Cynthia Erivo as host, the musical performances, and a few of the more surprising wins.

Then, at around the 53 minute mark, we take a look at a recent Top Ten Tuesday piece from Mark Johnson about the 10 best stage-to-screen adaptations. Naturally with all three being theater kids, we have opinions / additions to the list.

We close our podcast with the Flash Forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week.

If you haven’t heard it yet, take a listen to our spin-off series, Desperate Housewives Revisited, where Joey and Clarence look back at the first season of Marc Cherry’s 2004 phenomenon.

We’re deeply appreciative for your shares, likes, and positive ratings on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
