Australia's Sarah Snook frontrunner to win Tony Award
Australian actress Sarah Snook is considered the frontrunner to win the best leading actress in a play at the 78th Tony Awards for her performance in The Picture of Dorian Gray. Hours before the main even began Australian Marg Hornwell was announced as the winner of best costumes in a play for A Picture of Dorian Gray. The event at New York's Radio City Music Hall is being held on Sunday night (10am AEST). Snook plays all 26 roles in The Picture of Dorian Gray, which was originally produced by Sydney Theatre Company and has already earned the actress a prestigious Olivier Award in London. The production has six nominations, including best direction for Kip Williams with his fellow Australians Clemence Williams, Nick Schlieper, David Berman nominated for best sound, lighting, and set design - as well Hornwell's win for costumes. Buena Vista Social Club and Maybe Happy Ending won early Tony Awards - hours before the main event started. The best book award went to Maybe Happy Ending, with lyrics written by Hue Park and music composed by Will Aronson. Park from the podium wanted to point out that he and Aronson are not a romantic couple and that he was very much single. Stranger Things: The First Shadow, an effects-driven prequel to the Netflix hit show Stranger Things, won best sound design of a play. Marco Paguia won best orchestrations for Buena Vista Social Club and thanked Broadway for welcoming Cuban music. Broadway had a stuffed season with seemingly something for everyone and Sunday is time to recognise the best. Broadway buzz is usually reserved for musicals but this year the plays - powered by A-list talent - have driven the conversation. There's George Clooney in Good Night, and Good Luck, Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal in Othello, Snook and her Succession co-star Kieran Culkin and Bob Odenkirk in Glengarry Glen Ross. There were two Pulitzer winners - 2024 awardee English and Purpose from 2025 - but perhaps one of the season's biggest surprises was Oh, Mary!, Cole Escola's irreverent, raunchy, gleefully deranged revisionist history centred on Mary Todd Lincoln. All three are nominated for best play, along with John Proctor is the Villain and The Hills of California. On the musical side, three options seem to be in the mix for the top prize: Maybe Happy Ending, a rom-com about a pair of androids; Dead Outlaw, about an alcoholic drifter whose embalmed body becomes a prized possession for half a century; and Death Becomes Her, the musical satire about longtime frenemies who drink a magic potion for eternal youth and beauty. Maybe Happy Ending, Death Becomes Her and another musical nominee, Buena Vista Social Club, lead nominations with 10 apiece. The 2024-2025 season took in $US1.9 billion ($A2.9 billion), making it the highest-grossing season ever and signalling that Broadway has finally emerged from the COVID-19 blues, having overtaken the previous high of $US1.8 billion ($A2.8 billion) during the 2018-2019 season. with AAP

Man dies after inflatable kayak capsizes in Arkansas River
DENVER (KDVR) — A 35-year-old man died after his kayak capsized and he became unconscious in the Arkansas River near Buena Vista on Friday afternoon. Colorado Parks and Wildlife said a call came in to Chaffee County dispatch around 3:15 p.m. after two private boaters in inflatable kayaks capsized their crafts. One kayaker was reportedly able to swim to shore, while the other was unconscious after his kayak capsized. CPW said a bystander in another kayak followed the unconscious man and pulled him to shore above Johnson's Village, where they began CPR and called 911. Littleton man missing since 2024 located in Colorado River nearly full year later Rangers from the Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area, Chaffee County EMS, Chaffee County Fire, the Chaffee County Sheriff's Office and CPW arrived on scene, but despite lifesaving efforts, CPW said the resuscitation was unsuccessful and the man was pronounced dead by the Chaffee County Coroner. 'Our deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of the victim,' said Tom Waters, the recreation area park manager. 'This appears to be a tragic accident.' Waters said both kayakers had appropriate safety equipment for this section of whitewater, including dry suits, personal flotation devices and helmets. The water was 52 degrees, and the river was running at 1,780 cubic feet per second. Waters said people should check conditions by calling the recreation area office before entering the river, or consider using a commercial rafting company if they're unfamiliar with the area or conditions.

Asia-Pacific markets set to open mixed as weak private sector hiring in the U.S. dents investor sentiment
Varanasi, also commonly known as Benares or Banaras and Kashi , is a city situated on the banks of the River Ganges in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, 320 kilometres (199 mi) southeast of state capital Lucknow. It is regarded as a holy city by Buddhists and Jains, and is the holiest place in the world in Hinduism (and center of earth in Hindu Cosmology). It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and probably the oldest of India Buena Vista Images | Photodisc | Getty Images Asia-Pacific markets were set to mostly fall Thursday, after private sector hiring in the U.S. hit its lowest level in over two years, raising concerns that trade policy uncertainty could be weighing on the superpower's economy. A report from payrolls processing firm ADP showed that payrolls rose only 37,000 for the month, less than the downwardly revised 60,000 in April and below the consensus forecast of 110,000 that economists polled by Dow Jones had forecast. Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 was set to fall at the open, with the futures contract in Chicago at 37,550 while its counterpart in Osaka last traded at 37,560 against the index's Wednesday close of 37,747.45. Futures for Hong Kong's Hang Seng index stood at 23,666 pointing to a flat open. HSI had closed at 23,654.03 in the previous session. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 was set to start the day higher, with futures tied to the benchmark at 8,564, compared to its last closer of 8,541.80 Investors will be keeping a close watch on Indian markets as the Reserve Bank of India starts its two-day policy meet, with markets expecting the central bank to cut its benchmark interest rate by a quarter-percentage point to 5.75% on Friday. — CNBC's Pia Singh, Sean Conlon and Sarah Min contributed to this report.
