T*ny Awards Air

Didn't you think the air at the T*nys sucked? It was way too transparent and the oxygen levels were WAY off this year. At times, it was so out of control, it seemed almost like wind. Applegate practically filled the entire auditorium with carbon dioxide. God, why do the T*nys have to suck in every single way every single year? If I had coordinated the entire event, it would have been the BEST EVER, even though I've never done it before.

Matt, I was also totally offended by that 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch speak of dirt on the carpet on the left aisle...I mean THE NERVE!

just wondering.. why are you saying "t*nys" and not "tonys"?

There are some easily offended by the T*ny awards and I did not want to offend them. Everyone knows that using an asterisk in place of a vowel instantly makes any offensive word both inoffensive and practically unrecognizable. I didn't want to p*ss anyone off.

I'd just like to add that I thought the lighting was horrendous, or ... maybe it was all the uglies they had on camera.

I don't care how brilliant their work is or how crucial they are to the quality and success of a show. From now on, they should keep writers and directors off stage. I only want to see pretty people, dammit!

I was so frustrated with everyone b******g about the Tonys on the other board, this thread has made my day.

The Tonys were SO dreadful, so horriffic that every time I watch them on videotape I see something new that repulses me! And I've watched them 15 times! That is a lot of repulsion!

There are only 362 days until the NEXT Tonys! Does anyone know who the host will be or what will be performed? I want to start getting outraged now!

JoeKV..That is an insanely accurate portrayal.

I don't know who will host, present or perform, but I have no doubt that they will be AWFUL!

I counting the days.

and all the wrong people and shows will win, and the winners will dress badly and give stupid boring speeches.


AND I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Kudos MisterMatt. Also, in defense of the awful performances next year, the performers were mostly nervous. And I will agree with Mister Roxy that there was a LOT of hype about The Odd Couple!

Let's not forget the rules:

Big popular shows should never win anything. Ever.
All big popular shows and their performers are overrated except for Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick.
No matter how many shows open each season, Broadway is dying.
Bernadette Peters deserves an award for anything, no matter what.
Ditto for Sondheim.
Anything Lloyd Webber should not be nominated for any category unless he legally changes his name to Stephen Sondheim.
Dresses are far more important than speeches, with the exception of Phylicia Rashad.
Every speech should drone on and on regardless of the winners' knowledge of time constrictions 'cause she's Elaine Stritch, dammit!
Anything unknown to the general public deserves to win with the exception of A Chorus Line, whose immense popularity was strictly an accident and will not happen again.

No Namo. The performers and their performances next year just sucked real bad. La Chanze obviously can't carry a tune with double-stick tape and a hot glue gun.
