Jeremy O. Harris may be the “most Tony-snubbed” playwright — as he is now calling himself on Twitter — but that didn’t stop the “Slave Play” creator from celebrating Broadway’s biggest night on Sunday.
After setting a record with 12 Tony nominations and losing them all, including best play, Harris still threw two after parties.
He teamed up with the Broadway Advocacy Coalition to host a Tony party at NeueHouse’s new gallery space in Gramercy Park, where guests included “Pose” star Dyllon Burnside, Adrienne Warren of “Tina – The Tina Turner Musical,” “Hamilton” star Jasmine Cephas Jones, top photographer Tyler Mitchell and NeueHouse CEO Josh Wyatt.
“It was celebratory, and [Harris] was in a great mood even though ‘Slave Play’ didn’t win any awards,” an insider told Page Six.
Warren — who did win for her role as Turner — danced all night, and “kept her mask on most of the time,” except for when she was noshing on pizza from a food truck, we’re told.
Meanwhile, Harris, brought his 11-year-old niece, Kyra, to the party and “looked after her all night while mingling with other performers,” our insider shared.
After partying at NeueHouse, Harris headed downtown for a late-night soiree at Maggio Cirpirani’s lounge, Socialista, where he continued to commiserate over his loss.
“Everyone was talking about how Jeremy should have won… The judging system has to change,” a guest at that party said. “It was the best thing that could have happened in hindsight. No one was talking about anything else.”
But Harris had a sense of humor about losing. He posted a video from Socialista on Twitter and captioned it: “Losers party.”
Either way, the “Slave Play” playwright’s party was “really fabulous,” we’re told.
Hari Nef, Kyle Hotchkiss, Chloe Wise and Sienna Miller all came out to celebrate.
Miller was hanging with her ex, Tom Sturridge. “They seemed very close. They were sitting next to each other on the couch, and whispering to each other. They left together [after] 4 a.m.,” our spy said.
Harris wasn’t the only one throwing parties for Broadway’s biggest night. Another Tony insider told us: “The hottest Tonys party nobody knew about was at famed costume designer William Ivey Long’s Tribeca studio, co-hosted by “Betrayal” Tony nominee Tony Marion.”
The underground fête, attended by about 50 people, raged until after 6 a.m., as nominees even ditched their own celebrations for the sexy soirée.
