Los Angeles Times: "'NOBODY knows anything.'
William Goldman lobbed that dictum at the screen trade, but it just as easily applies to the just-concluded 2006-07 Broadway season. Goldman's contention that producers haven't a clue as to what will resonate with critics and the public stands in relief against one of the most eclectic seasons in memory. Included among the front-runners for the Tony Awards that will be handed out tonight at Radio City Music Hall are 'Spring Awakening,' a rock musical about 19th century German teens dealing with sexual abuse, suicide and abortion; 'Grey Gardens,' a quirky look at Jackie Kennedy Onassis' batty relatives bickering in a decaying East Hampton, N.Y., mansion; and 'The Coast of Utopia,' Tom Stoppard's epic about obscure 19th century Russian revolutionaries and intellectuals.
