Tonight is the one night of the year when millions of Americans are focused on Broadway. That’s because it’s the annual Tony Awards, which, by virtue of being televised, are often the first way that many people learn about what’s new onstage. I write full time about theater, so I’m always thinking about what’s changing in that world, and this year I’ve been struck by the notion that the source of Broadway’s sound is shifting. More and more musicals are being written by artists who built their careers in pop music, and fewer by people trained in theater. I did the math, and here’s what I found: Just over half of the 15 new musicals that opened on Broadway during the 2023-24 season featured scores credited to artists whose primary credentials are in the music business. They include Alicia Keys, Barry Manilow and Britney Spears; Huey Lewis, Sufjan Stevens and David Byrne; Jamestown Revival and Ingrid Michaelson (whose song “[My Days](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRoUVRSP0TXaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGlrdG9rLmNvbS9Abm90ZWJvb2ttdXNpY2FsL3ZpZGVvLzczNzE1MDkyMTk0OTkwMzU5NDY_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDI0MDYxNiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMjYzNzMmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE2OTcxMiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZmxSz25mh-94XVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD),” from “The Notebook,” is taking off on social media). Pop musicians are even helping to make plays. The leading contender for best play tonight is “Stereophonic,” a behind-the-music drama with bespoke song fragments by Will Butler, a former member of Arcade Fire, and this fall a Broadway production of “Romeo and Juliet” will feature music by Jack Antonoff, a frequent collaborator of Taylor Swift. [Three people in colorful shirts and a blue dress stand in front of a mic.] “Stereophonic,” features songs by a former member of Arcade Fire. Sara Krulwich/The New York Times “We haven’t had this since Tin Pan Alley — folks who are trained at creating an entire world in four minutes, now creating pieces that are two and a half hours long,” said Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator of “Hamilton.” “I find it exciting,” he added. “I always think musical theater is more interesting when it’s in conversation with the world.” Is this really new? In some ways, this is an everything-old-is-new-again phenomenon. In the early 20th century, figures like Irving Berlin and Cole Porter found success both onstage and on the radio. “Back in the day, musical theater created music for the masses, but something happened in the past 50 years where musical theater got stuck in a time warp,” said Amanda Ghost, a British singer and music executive who is producing a new musical, “Gatsby,” with a score co-written by Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine. For years there have been jukebox musicals — shows with scores made up of previously released pop songs, like “Jersey Boys” and “Mamma Mia!” Several of those are now running on Broadway, including “MJ,” and more variations on this theme are in development: An Avett Brothers musical, “Swept Away,” arrives this fall, and Dolly Parton just announced that “Hello, I’m Dolly” will arrive in 2026. Now a growing number of pop artists are also writing original scores, so that what was once a trickle (Cyndi Lauper, Duncan Sheik and Anaïs Mitchell have won Tonys writing scores) is becoming a flood. John Legend, Elvis Costello and Nas are all working on musicals, as are Neko Case and Mitski. Elton John, a Broadway veteran, has two more musicals just this year: “The Devil Wears Prada” in England and “Tammy Faye” on Broadway. Why is this happening? For the theater industry, which has seen audiences shrink and costs rise since the pandemic shutdown, the allure of pop stars is similar to the appeal of film and book adaptations: Familiarity sells tickets. “Economically, the margins of success are so thin with musicals, inevitably it changes the way people approach developing musicals,” said Justin Levine, who won a Tony for orchestrating the pop songs used in the stage version of “Moulin Rouge!” and is now again a Tony nominee for his work with the country folk duo Jamestown Revival on the score of “The Outsiders.” “That’s why, often, you can identify at least one, if not two, things that form the basis for having a built-in audience.” For pop musicians, there are both artistic and economic motivations. “You can’t make a living from releasing records alone,” said Sara Bareilles, the singer-songwriter who wrote the score for “Waitress” and is now writing songs for her second musical, a stage adaptation of “The Interestings.” “Artists in general understand how diversification of creative output is not just helpful, but kind of essential.” But is it good for theater? That’s up for debate. Some theater fans worry that pop songs don’t advance storytelling; some pop musicians say an obsession with forward narrative motion can lead to weak tunes. “A great musical can come from any kind of songwriter,” argues Shaina Taub, a singer-songwriter and the Tony-nominated creator of “Suffs.” And Tom Kitt, who won a Tony for his own score in “Next to Normal,” and is now nominated again for orchestrating Alicia Keys’s songs in “Hell’s Kitchen,” said, “All of it is for the better, because it enriches the art form.” [People stand on stage pointing in the air.] “Hell’s Kitchen” features a mix of hits and new songs by Alicia Keys. Sara Krulwich/The New York Times More on the Tonys - The prime-time ceremony begins at 8 p.m. Eastern, with Ariana DeBose hosting.

We talked about her adjustment to post-tennis life, how she looks back on her career and whether she’ll push her kids as her dad pushed her. Your dad famously saw something in you and your sister Venus when you guys were little and then worked so hard to help you achieve it. Do you see something in your daughters in the way that your dad saw something in you? That’s a really good question. I don’t know. I always look at my dad, and I think, How were you able to do that? Because I’m like, Oh, they’re so cute. I just want them to relax and I don’t want to over-push them. But I would be devastated if I wasn’t pushed, because we wouldn’t be having this interview and there would never have been a Serena Williams. It worked out pretty well for you! It worked out well. [Laughs] But what do I see? The 8-month-old is so tiny, but Olympia is such a bright light, and she’s so athletic, to the point where it’s just not even humanly possible. Even Venus, she was like, “That kid has more talent than you and I combined,” and she’s not lying. So I can see how my dad may have seen some potential in us. I’m just trying to figure out a way to harness all that. I already told my dad, “Maybe you have to coach her, because I’m too nice.” You’re too soft. I’m too soft, yeah.

Flesch reading score

Flesch reading score measures how complex a text is. The lower the score, the more difficult the text is to read. The Flesch readability score uses the average length of your sentences (measured by the number of words) and the average number of syllables per word in an equation to calculate the reading ease. Text with a very high Flesch reading ease score (about 100) is straightforward and easy to read, with short sentences and no words of more than two syllables. Usually, a reading ease score of 60-70 is considered acceptable/normal for web copy.
