What’s on Jessica Chastain’s mind as she spins onstage? Plus: Ben Platt’s silence, the “Fat Ham” ghost, the “Shucked” corn dance and all that “Sweeney” blood.
The musicals “New York, New York,” “Shucked” and “& Juliet” each got nine and “Kimberly Akimbo” picked up eight. Several major stars earned nominations.
In a pared-down Broadway revival of “A Doll’s House,” the Oscar-winning actress doesn’t have props, period costumes or much of a set. To her surprise, she likes it.
