Unceremoniously

The 2025 Jimmy Awards

QUEER EMERGENCY! The Jimmy Awards took place and Marshal had to record himself (shock) talking about the quinessetnial theatrical award show. From misguided show choices from schools across the country (why are 16 year old's putting up Dreamgirls?!) to a Falsettos performance that will knock your socks off, Marshal dives into the semi-janky, semi-profound ceremony highlighting high school musical theatre performers. It's the only ceremony where every will and has seen BOOP. Be sure to rate and leave a review down below to help out the pod!

The 2025 Tony Awards (w/ Caleb Jingo)

We're topical again, diving into Sunday's Tony Awards hosted by Cynthia Erivo. (Erivo, for those unfamiliar, is most known for her work "Stand Up" from the film Harriet.) Guest Caleb Jingo joins to break down the performances, the wins, and the greater state of the theatrical landscape (Honestly? Impressive!) They chat about Audra's remarkable performance, but even when they stop, they continue to think about it. Also, there's a tense conversation on the Featured Actor in a Musical category. It's one-sided, but it's still tense as hell! Be sure to subscribe and leave a review to help the show!

The 2011 Tony Awards (w/ Nic Nightingale)

As if by magic [checks notes] or almost a full calendar year, Unceremoniously has returned! Marshal is joined by improviser Nic Nightingale to discuss the 2011 Tony Awards in all its Mormonism. Neil Patrick Harris sings, Brooke Shields curses, and Sutton Foster taps in a ceremony which provides us with one of the most essential Tony performances to ever exist.  Elsewhere, they highlight the abundance of Spider-Man jokes, talk about bumblebees, and make a few predictions for next week's Tony Awards. Welcome back to Unceremoniously! Gold stars for everyone!

The 2024 VMAs (w/ Meghan Rusin)

Kids, we gotta a doozy. The MTV Video Music Awards (which is slowly dying due to climate change, I think) delivered a remarkably medicore ceremony on 9/11 and guest Meghan Rusin is here to discuss. Flanked by the dumbest set in award show history, the ceremony delivered only two "great" performances, so enjoy wading through the garbage to get to the good. Above all, the pair tries to get to the heart of the greatest problem facing our nation: what is Lenny Kravitz's deal? Like what you're hearing?

The 2000 Tony Awards (w/ Mary Margaret Hogan)

Jump back in time to the start of the new millenium and the celebration of the Broadway 1999-2000 season. Joined by the delightful Mary Margaret Hogan (credits: virtual audience member on The Drew Barrymore Show), the duo discuss the shamefulness of Aida erasure, the way Rosie O'Donnell can light up a room, and the realization that everyone involved with this ceremony hated the shows they were trying to celebrate. [tugs on collar] YEESH. (Marshal does sound like he's eating the mic this episode and he urges you to understand that he will do better.) Like what you're hearing?
