a question.

if I don't live in New York why would I give a flying fuck about the Tonys

just asking.

I think that sometimes, actors cross genres, so, you can be familiar with someone, such as Neil Patrick Harris for example, from TV and movies, and still root for him in a Broadway production you may never see because you like his other work.

Lol--well Pete you can live in butt fuck USA, Canada or anywhere in the world-- and if you are a big time theater queen---which you are not---you would be interested.

I do go to theater and I do go to quite a bit of mirvish shows here in Toronto, but honestly the tonys are boring.

I actually hate his tv show but i like the guy.

 

[nycguydowntown]

People in theater look to NY and London as the Holy Grail of theater--and regional theaters are also the place where it all begins--and those shows usually end up in NY and London too.

I know that. I saw the production of Priscilla before it went to NY.
and Harvey Fierstein is great.

what else can this show offer me?

 

[pat grimshaw]

...what else can this show offer me?

Which show?

 

[darden]

you don't have to care about awards. I love music, but I couldn't give 2 shits about the Grammies.

I do pay attention to the Tony Awards, though. I do like going to musicals, but at $90+ for decent seats, awards are a good starting off point for deciding which ones are worth my hard-earned dollars.

 

[PreTTy PeTe]

Which show?

any show doofus.

 

[goldenmoth]

I like the Tonys. Those people work hard and deserve a reward plus it's always good to have an eye out to see what could be coming your way that might be good

 

[pat grimshaw]

I like the Tonys. Those people work hard ...

Yes, they do. Stage actors need lots more skill than screen actors.

 

[pat grimshaw]

When will the Tonies be awarded? Will it be televised? Are there gay people among the nominees?

 

[goldenmoth]

Ha, undoubtedly

 

[pat grimshaw]

This is going too far for publicising a Broadway show isn't it?

 

[buffxqui]

I can't wait for Sunday night!

 

[buffxqui]

Who's watching tonight? I'm recording it.

 

[chrisrobin]

I'll be watching. I like the pan shots of the audience. I hope Neil Patrick Harris wins.

 

[chrisrobin]

Whatever works.

Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical:
