“No more Carlyle! No more Carlyle!” shouted Billy Porter.
It’s not often you see protests at the luxurious Carlyle Hotel, but the “Kinky Boots” actor was furious.
“Everyone leave right now!” He mentioned.
The “Pose” megastar and several others — including yours truly, Corey Cott (“The Heart of Rock and Roll”) and Casey Cott (“Riverdale”) — have been locked out of a set on the 31st floor, Where due to the noise we were celebrating the birthday after the Tony Awards at 3 am on Monday morning.
“I don’t know who you are,” Porter said to two security guards, who mildly demanded that only four people remain in the room where I used to be, occupied by more than 20 people. “But this is wrong!”
Particularly inappropriate was that the refrigerator was filled with a box of Piper-Heidsieck unusual champagne, which cost $200 a bottle. Those beggar bubbles burst open!
However on Broadway the mantra is “the show must go on.” Everyone quietly left the elevator and went to alternate rooms.
Before that highly dramatic brawl, Rick Miramontez’s famous Carlyle kegger completely exploded in the early morning hours on the Higher East Side.
Best Actress in a Play Games winner Sarah Paulson (“Suitable”) performed on the dance floor, and Jonathan Groff, who won Best Actor in a Musical, played “Old Friends” from his show “Merrily We Roll Along” on the piano. ” Sang. At Bemelman’s Bar with Billy Stritch and Jim Caruso.
Featured Actor winner Daniel Radcliffe was also once smiling with Groff in Bemelmans.
Eddie Redmayne, Nicole Scherzinger, Billy Eichner, Leslie Odom Jr., Jim Parsons and Ariana DeBose wore lots of tuxedos and frocks.
And the talented “Tommy” megastar Ali Louis Bourzagui told me he was worried about doing “Pinball Wizard” in the telecast in front of so many theater veterans the night before – with The Who’s Pete Townshend, less is wrong. However Tommy heaves a sigh of relief and spends an admirable hour.
Across town, the team of “The Outsiders,” which won the Tony Award for Best Musical in Nail-Bitter, kicked off their victory tour with a party at Rosa Mexicano and Lincoln Center, where producer Angelina Jolie held court in the audience. organised. Guacamole.
“She was kicking it!” An excited Solid member told me.
Extra unique — and ragtag — was another time, when the Oscar winner convened the actors and creators at her Soho store Atelier Jolie in the city, shared coffee and ordered everyone McDonald’s at 4 a.m.
“It was hilarious,” the actor said.
One night there was a mistaken skirmish between the Greasers and the Socs. they partied until 6 in the morning
But still, the Carlyle, the second-highest banter – even though they lost – was presented by Alicia Keys for her musical “Hell’s Kitchen”.
At Mercer Labs, the massive unused artwork showcase/museum/birthday celebration venue in Tribeca, Keys was joined by Liev Schreiber, Lupita Nyong’o, Taraji P. Henson, Amber Ruffin and Cynthia Erivo. There are also best actress in a musical winner Maleeha Joi Moon and featured actress champion Keshia Lewis.
Co-founder Michael Carey tells me that Keys was looking for something “special” and exclusive for her celebration, and she chose the Roy Nachum-designed funhouse.
“Special” means, I won’t lie to you, a segment where a futuristic robot painted its lyrics in the sand and a mind-bending copy room where “Empire State of Mind” was blared on a loop. Of Mercer’s 15 rotating shows, 13 were in the clear for the revelers and, with so much liquor flowing, miraculously came off unscathed.
The promise was that Keys would make a surprise performance, but the “Girl on Fire” singer ultimately did not.
However, on Tony’s night untouched York Town was unquestionably a concrete jungle from which to score goals.
Cleverly, for some people.
