#1RESULTS ARE IN! The Last 5 Years Tonys
Posted: 6/17/09 at 4:58pm
I've always found it interesting to compare Tony winner for separate years and compare them. For instance, the Ebersole vs. LuPone battle always thrills me mentally.
Let's call this the Last Five Year Tonys. Pick your favorite Tony winner in each category and post them in this thread. I will calculate the winners and post them by the end of July.
Go ahead! Make your choices; it will definitely be harder than you think!

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim
