If you love the theater like I do, you won't want to miss this weekend's Who's News column. It's a special report on the 63rd annual Tony Awards. We talked with several of the nominees — names and shows you're sure to know.
Take Allison Janney, for example. We all remember  her from NBC's long-running drama The West Wing, but now she is nominated for 9 to 5: The Musical, and she is so happy about being on stage each night.  Jeff Daniels, who got his theater start at my alma mater, Central Michigan University, is excited to have earned his first Tony nomination for the critically acclaimed God of Carnage. He thought for sure it would be his castmates and  not him. In fact, it was all his castmates — James Gandolfini, Marcia Gay Harden, Hope Davis AND him. Then there was Angela Lansbury, who was the first to get on the phone. She was gracious with her time and told us that she is grateful that her fans from her days starring in Murder, She Wrote, go to the theater to see her in Blithe Spirit.
So, take a look at the page and then tune into CBS at 8 p.m. ET for the show, because you'll see scenes from many of the nominated plays and musicals as well as lots of stars.
