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

Mattel Debuts UNO® Social Clubs, Turning the Classic Card Game into the Ultimate Night Out
Fans can enter for a chance to win a weekend stay in an UNO-themed luxury suite at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas EL SEGUNDO, Calif., May 19, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT), a leading global toy and family entertainment company and owner of one of the most iconic brand portfolios in the world, today announced the launch of UNO Social Clubs – the ultimate game night destination. UNO Social Clubs transforms game nights into an elevated social experience where friends connect, compete and create memories in venues across the country. To kick off the summer, the UNO brand is opening the doors to its first-ever, deck-ed out UNO Social Club in one of the gaming capitals of the world – Las Vegas, Nevada. This experience at the Palms Casino Resort gives one lucky winner and a guest the chance to stay, play, and go wild in one of the most colorful suites in town from Friday, July 18th – Sunday, July 20th. "We created UNO Social Clubs to reimagine what game night can be—bringing people together for real-world fun, connection, and a bit of friendly competition," said Ray Adler, Vice President and Global Head of Games at Mattel. "The UNO Social Club in Las Vegas is just the beginning, and we're excited to see how these new experiences inspire players to show up, play hard, and make unforgettable memories." Starting today, May 19th, fans can enter for a chance to win the UNO Social Club getaway in Las Vegas by posting a creative TikTok video using the new UNO Reverse Card filter and the hashtags #UNOSocialClub and #MattelContest. Once chosen, the winner will enjoy a technicolor suite drenched in the brand's iconic red, yellow, blue, and green colors, packed with UNO-themed features, including a private bowling alley and game-inspired décor. UNO game tables in the suite will also be stocked with more UNO games than you can imagine – including new extensions for even more spirited competition – and a personal UNO game host to shuffle decks in style. Featured decks that will be played in the UNO Social Club include: UNO Golf™: Match cards by colors and numbers, but your cards are laid out as you try to get rid of high cards and keep lower value cards. Strategically clear columns to eliminate cards but beware of cards that can raise your score. The player with the lowest score wins! UNO Teams™: Players still match color, number and symbol but instead of every-man-for-himself, they team up in pairs of two and play together to win. Special cards and rules help teammates work together, but both players must get rid of all the cards in their hands to win. UNO Show 'em No Mercy™: This game has a ton more cards with WAY tougher penalties and new rules that will have players stacking, swapping and drawing more cards than ever before! There are two ways to win in this merciless version of the classic game: get rid of all cards OR knock all other players out of the game. UNO Social Clubs will pop-up across the country later this year, with experiences in bars and venues in major U.S. cities. Each event will transform everyday hotspots into the ultimate game night destination with UNO-themed drink menus, tournament-style play, photo moments, and more. The UNO Social Club Las Vegas contest runs from May 19 through June 19, 2025, and is open to U.S. residents aged 21+ in the 48 contiguous states and D.C.

An All-Inclusive Wedding Package For $10K In Los Angeles? Gen Z Couples Are Flocking To The Social Club
In Los Angeles, where the average wedding costs upwards of $36,000, The Social Club has introduced a game-changing alternative. For just $10,000, couples can book an all-inclusive wedding package that offers a stylish, intimate celebration without breaking the bank. Founded by Julia Calaway and Alexandra Epstein, The Social Club was initially established as a cultural hub for Gen Z artists and creators—a space to connect, create, and experience art and music. After a year in operation, the founders realized that many of their peers faced a significant dilemma: they struggled to afford weddings that reflected their personal style. Julia and Alexandra saw the stark contrast between the lavish, Instagram-worthy weddings often showcased on social media and the financial realities many young couples were facing. Many of these couples were even going into debt to make their dream day a reality. 'The more we talked to our regulars and guests at The Social Club, the more we learned how much they needed a space to celebrate one of the ultimate displays of connection—marriage,' said Julia Calaway. 'We saw our peers struggling to afford their dream weddings. We knew we could offer a wedding that was unique, beautiful, and within our generation's budget.' This insight led to the creation of The Social Club's $10,000 wedding package. By cutting out the middleman and handling everything in-house—venue, florals, catering, photography, and design—the team has crafted an affordable yet high-quality wedding experience that resonates with young couples looking for authenticity and affordability. The Social Club's package caters perfectly to Gen Z couples who are prioritizing intimate ceremonies, non-traditional venues, and experience-driven celebrations. 'Our couples love how our space looks and feels,' said Julia. 'They can have an intimate ceremony that turns into a lively after party. They appreciate the special touches we offer, like our espresso machine, board games tucked away in antique bookshelves, and the hand-painted chess board that pops out of the wall. The Social Club feels like a beautiful, storied home without the effort of creating that vibe themselves.' The $10,000 package includes everything needed for a memorable micro-wedding: a ceremony and reception for up to 35 guests (with an option to expand to 100 for an additional fee), a curated open bar with wines, beers, and non-alcoholic beverages, vintage-inspired décor and florals, a bridal bouquet, boutonniere, and wedding party adornments. The package also includes a chef-curated passed dinner service and a two-tiered wedding cake with vintage-style buttercream frosting and sugared fresh fruit. An officiant and wedding coordinator ensure a seamless experience, allowing couples to focus on the sentimental aspects of their day without worrying about logistics. 'We've been blown away by the response to our $10K wedding,' said Julia. 'After spending only $40 on advertising, we've had couples reach out to us through social media, our website, and word of mouth. What surprised us most is how little our couples want to plan out every detail of their wedding. With our package, they can focus on what really matters while we take care of everything else.' As the wedding industry continues to evolve, The Social Club's approach offers a timely solution for couples seeking value without compromising on quality or style. 'With costs rising in every industry, including weddings, our $10K package is a smart solution for couples who want to celebrate without going into debt,' Julia added. The Social Club's commitment to quality and affordability is reflected in their collaborative efforts with local vendors. 'Julia and I designed everything about this wedding, from start to finish,' said Alexandra Epstein. 'We rotate our floral designs, food, wine, and cake decor based on what's in season. We've also had the privilege of working with collaborators like Pia Mileaf-Patel, whose floral designs have inspired us for years, and talented photographers like Andrea Nayeli, who has been a regular in our space since we first opened.' For those looking for a unique, budget-friendly wedding in Los Angeles, The Social Club's all-inclusive $10K package provides a solution that combines cost-effectiveness with the authenticity and quality that today's modern couples value.
