The Tony Award nominations were announced today, and LOMBARDI was largely shut out. Judith Light has been nominated in the category of Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Play.This is very bad news for Lombardi—the box office has been sluggish, and I suspect that they've been holding on in the hopes of scoring some nominations, with the box office bump they provide.
I also think it's unfair. Light is superb as Marie Lombardi, but she's not alone in that. There is some sterling work being done eight shows a week at Circle in the Square.

Unfortunately, I suspect we'll see a closing notice soon. If you're interested in seeing LOMBARDI—and you should be—buy your tickets now.
