“Hadestown,” the riveting new Broadway musical from director Rachel Chavkin and singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell, leads the field of Tony Award nominations this year with 14. Among them is a nod to Spokane-born actor Patrick Page, whose turn as Hades earned him a nomination for best featured actor in a musical.The inventive show brings the ancient Greek story of Orpheus and Eurydice and their journey to the underworld to 1930s America, set to a jazzy and bluesy score. It earned nominations for best musical, best book, best score and best direction, as well four acting nods: Eva Noblezada for her leading performance as Eurydice, and the featured performers Amber Gray (Persephone), Andre De Shields (Hermes – cast in “Hadestown” as the narrator), and Page.Page, whose father, Robert Page, was the first male instructor at Holy Names College when he was hired in 1960, lived in Spokane and Cheney until he was 6. His family eventually settled in Monmouth, Oregon, where the elder Page taught at what is now called Western Oregon University.Page’s Broadway career came after a many years with both the Oregon Shakespeare and Utah Shakespeare festivals, and has included roles as Scar in “The Lion King,” Lumiere in “Beauty and the Beast,” and Norman Osborn/Green Goblin in “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.” He’s also appeared in the nonmusicals “Saint Joan” and “Casa Valentina.”This marks his first Tony nomination.Another Broadway musical with Spokane connections, “Beetlejuice,” earned eight nominations, including best musical and best leading actor for Alex Brightman, who plays the titular ghoul. The show also stars Sophia Anne Caruso, who started her acting career at Spokane Children’s Theatre.“Ain’t Too Proud to Beg – The Life and Times of the Temptations” followed “Hadestown” with 12 nominations. The big nominee in the play category was “The Ferryman,” with eight nods. Many Broadway watchers expressed surprise that neither “To Kill a Mockingbird,” nor “Network,” both acclaimed box office hits, earned best play nominations, although their leading men – Jeff Daniels and Bryan Cranston, respectively – will compete in the best actor category.The ceremony will be broadcast live on CBS from Radio City Music Hall on June 9 and will be hosted by James Corden.
