Now, darlings, I am from the school of traditional pronouns, so I am going to refer to Cole Escola as he. I first discovered him when he played Chassie Tucker on "At Home With Amy Sedaris," a program I still sorely miss. Cole was so good as Chassie it took me four episodes to realize Chassie was not a woman.
This year he is nominated for TONYS in two categories--"Best Play," and "Best Performance By An Actor In A Leading Role In A Play." Oh, Mary" gets an A for humorous writing, and Escola's performance as a mad, manic Mary Todd Lincoln is a tour de force--campy, but with a hint of truth.
Would I be happy if he got only one TONY? Yes, because he deserves to be recognized, but he has done such a wonderful job in both categories, I think he should take home both.
More of this type of comedy is needed, and I am looking forward to seeing Cole Escola produce more material.
But he better march up those steps on TONY night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t think Cole would mind you using “He”.
I read that he was fine with being nominated for the Male actor award, and he seems pretty easygoing and kindhearted.
and of course has that cheeky sense of humor!!!
Victoria, I am relieved to hear that, as I am from the old pronoun school. The new ones confuse me.
