Nicole Scherzinger, Mia Farrow and Sadie Sink Party After the Tonys
On Sunday night, after all the Tonys had been handed out, the comedian Alex Edelman took the stage during the official after-party at the Museum of Modern Art. 'One day more,' he sang, waving his arms, trying to recruit others to join him behind the microphone in a rousing one-man rendition of a song from the musical 'Les Misérables.' 'Another day, another destiny … ' Mr. Edelman, who received a special Tony Award last year for his one-man show 'Just for Us,' slowly gathered his army of fellow performers: Betsy Wolfe, Jessica Vosk and Casey Likes. Soon, more than half a dozen stars were belting not just their own parts, but every part. A cabaret moment is a familiar scene for any theater party, even on a night celebrating an unusual Broadway season. It has been a banner year on the district's 41 stages, thanks in large part to a flurry of shows with screen stars on the marquee: 'Good Night, and Good Luck' (George Clooney), 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' (Sarah Snook, who won a Tony Award for playing 26 different characters), 'Othello' (Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal) and 'Glengarry Glen Ross' (Bob Odenkirk, Bill Burr and Kieran Culkin), among others. Many actors were making their Broadway debut. 'I'm so lucky to get to do it,' Sadie Sink, best known for her role as the tomboy Max in Netflix's science fiction drama series 'Stranger Things,' said at the MoMA party, celebrating her first nomination.
