I was reading on the Tony website that tickets go on sale the morning the nominations are announced. It sounds like fun but I am not sure how to go about it... Does anyone have any advice for this process? I have never been in NY in the past. Is it worth it? Is there a way to get tickets for cheaper than $200 (student tickets or something?)... Can't decide if maybe I should just watch on tv...

Posted: 4/25/07 at 9:59pmWhy go to Radio City and watch, when you can watch it on TV and bitch about the awards here?
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

I went to the Tony rehearsal last year which was more interesting than the show itself.
Watch it on TV. It's better. It's not worth going to the City for the first time for.
BUT if you do decide to come, go watch the Tonys at a bar and catch SPRING AWAKENING instead.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 4/25/07 at 11:43pmI attended the Tony's last year and had a wonderful time. I think it is well worth the trip to NYC. Along with seeing all of the celebrities onstage, it was fun leaving Radio City Music Hall with Hal Holbrook to my right, Frank Langella to my left and Brian F O'Byrne and Neil Patrick Harris and his partner right in front of me. We walked through the lobby and out the door down the red carpet with them to the entrance to the after party. It was a night to remember and I would do it again! Had great seats in the front Mezz that were a gift for my Birthday.

I would love to go. I will one day.
On a related note, how does one get to be a seat filler?

I'm pretty sure you have to be invited.
Another vote for watching it on TV. I want to go some day, but I feel like I'd probably have more fun any given year watching it with some friends and a lot of food.

To my knowledge, tickets are not available for the rehearsal. I believe it is invite-only.
I was there because I was a student of the American Theatre Wing's SpringboardNYC program. We were invited.
