What are the criteria to be on a committee? SJP really surprised me.

Are these the people that just nominate in the categories, or do they actually vote as well?

I love Sarah to the ends of the earth, but on the Tony Awards nominating committee? I could understand her being on the Emmy Awards nominating committee, but don't you think there are much more qualified and respected members of the Broadway community than her? Again, I love her, she's great, adorable, all of it, but this just doesn't make much sense.

She was a broadway performer before she went to the screen wasn't she?

She was in Annie, and returned to the stage after some film success and was in H2$ and Once Upon a Mattress.

She was a replacement in Annie when she was 10 years old. When her then boyfriend Matthew Broderick was in H2$ starring opposite Megan Mullally--who was the perfect Rosemary--in an attempt to boost ticket sales, they replaced Megan with Sarah because they thought the public would think it was cute to have a real life boyfriend/girlfriend play opposite one another. Well, again, loves me some Sarah, but she ain't no Rosemary. She'd been smoking way too much and she was horrible. A real shame because Megan had been perfectly cast, adorable, sweet gorgeous voice. A couple years later Sarah headlined a revival of Once Upon A Mattress. It was a star vehicle which she was okay in, in a Christina Applegate sort of way, and it basically flopped. Then she decided to go back to TV, and was a success with Sex & the City. I don't think that qualifies her much to be a member of the Tony-nominating committee.

Sarah Jessica Parker has ALWAYS mantained a foot in the theatre -- working extensively off Broadway. I'd say she's MORE qualified then a lot of people who have been on the committee for years, like Nancy Ford, who's sole Broadway experience is composing the score to one musical flop thirty five years ago...
Though I would think the likelihood of either Parker or Stokes being on Broadway sometime over the next three years (the length of their terms) would be fairly probable. Does that thus sway the voting process?

Parker also starred in David Lindsay-Abaire's "Wonder of the World" and A.R. Gurney's "Sylvia" at MTC, Jon Robin Baitz's "The Substance of Fire" and Wendy Wasserstein's "The Heidi Chronicles" at Playwright's Horizons. Despite her tv success, she frankly has a longer and more distinguished stage career than MANY others who have served on the nominating committee over the years.

I adored her in Sylvia, but I don't remember her in The Heidi Chronicles.

Marc Shaiman said on ATC that if a committee member does a show on Broadway they have to take the year off.

Sarah Jessica Parker (and Matthew Brodderick, for that matter) have been major players in musical theatre for years - not to mention they are a very public face for it. I think it's wonderful that someone who probably goes to almost all of the shows anyway gets to voice her opinions. Frankly, I think she has just as much, if not more, weight to her opinions than certain past members.
Good for her.

Good for Stokes and SJP.

Isn't there a possibility that Matthew would be a potential nominee for Odd Couple? If so, is SJP's required to abstain from the voting for this year?

The rule is only for the committee members themselves, not their spouses or friends or significant others (after all, everybody on the panel has close ties in one way or another to potential nominees).

They take a year off if they are performing in a show on Broadway.

Well, I guess we know for whom SJP will be voting for Best Actor in a Play.
Question: Will Esparza win for The Homecoming?
BobbyBubby: I hope so. If only for the mental health of many people on this board.
