10. Finally, we invited Broadway’s best to pose for us just 24 hours after they were nominated for theater’s most prestigious award. Needless to say, they were a happy bunch. We have those stories and more of our signature journalism in this collection of our best weekend reads.

For more suggestions on what to watch, listen to and read, may we suggest a visit to our guide to the most binge-worthy TV shows, our music critics’ latest playlist or a glance at the New York Times best-sellers list.

Have a great week.
