Tony Winner Sam Pinkleton Never Thought
The riotously funny Oh, Mary! —a show that imagines Mary Todd Lincoln as an alcoholic and aspiring cabaret singer—won big at the Tony Awards on June 8, nabbing a best actor trophy for nonbinary comedian Cole Escola as Mary and a best director award for Sam Pinkleton. A veteran choreographer, Pinkleton was previously nominated for choreography in 2016 for Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812, but Oh, Mary! is his first Broadway directing credit. The scrappy show started with a sold-out off-Broadway run at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in the West Village before transferring to the Lyceum Theatre last summer and has since broken box-office records. The wildly inventive, madcap show has been a critical and commercial smash, with talent including Tituss Burgess and Betty Gilpin donning the curly wig and black dress to play Lincoln. Star Escola is back in another limited run on Broadway, which has been extended through September. Despite Oh, Mary! 's massive success, Pinkleton says he and Escola had no inkling the production could become as big as it has.

TWP Resort 2026 Collection
While some designers create their resort collections for glamorous types who vacation in St. Barths or Aspen during the cold-weather months, Trish Westcoat Pound of TWP has a far more practical customer in mind: the one who has to regularly face the outside world and all its elements. 'Rain, rain, go away,' she says as she shows off a water-repellent anorak jacket, made in a cotton canvas and gabardine fabric. A skirt and jacket were likewise cut in the weather-proof treatment. There are also chunky navy cable knit turtlenecks for cold winter nights and several coats—from classic felts in cognacs and limes to a reversible trench that works both in multiple seasons. (Notably, instead of using the term 'resort,' she calls this collection 'pre-spring.') Westcoat Pound says that her inspiration this season—and, frankly, all seasons—is utility: 'I design clothes that women want,' she said, although she challenges the idea that function comes at the sacrifice of form. That aforementioned sweater has a funnel neck collar, whereas a pair of pants has exaggerated bubble hems. Wide-leg trousers come woven with a sparkle finish. While TWP's shirting—mainly cropped and oversized Italian cotton shirts—remains the brand's most well-known offering, Westcoat Pound noted that pants have seen a surge of interest among customers. 'They really do look good on a lot of different women with different shapes,' she said. Her eveningwear is where she makes her strongest statement. An ivory silk bias-cut gown is embellished with delicate silver beaded straps that drape down the back, whereas she makes tops and skirts in a glittery, woven mesh. Maybe you can wear these clothes in St. Barths after all.

Breeze CEO on Low-Cost Carriers' Future and 'The Piss-Off Factor' Keeping Tourists Away
The drop in interest in traveling to the U.S. is real, and it very well may fade as Breeze's CEO says. But repairing the brand damage will take time. As the U.S. airline industry faces growing economic uncertainty and negative travel sentiment, serial airline entrepreneur David Neeleman thinks the phase will pass. The Breeze Airways CEO also has thoughts on reforming the ultra-low-cost model, one that United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby recently declared was 'dead.' Skift spoke with Neeleman in a wide-ranging interview about the state of ultra-low-cost carriers, tariffs, and the Trump administration's travel policies. Here are four takeaways: Is the Ultra-Low-Cost Model Actually Dead? Kirby commented on the state of ultra-low-cost carriers during a Wall Street Journal event in May, also saying that 'the model was screwed.' Neeleman said he thought Kirby 'makes a really good point.' 'I don't think they're gone for good, but I do think they got really big,' he said. 'And not only from the number of planes, but the size of their planes, which kind of force them into hubs and force them to compete wing tip-to-wing tip with the big incumbent carriers.' He added that the rise of basic economy allowed legacy carriers like American, Delta, and United to compete more effectively with ultra-low-cos
