Question: A Tony Award statuette made news recently when a 1991 Tony for Best Musical Revival, which went to Fiddler on the Roof, was sold at a Dallas auction in April for $5,676.25.
How many statuettes are made each year? How are they constructed? How are they prevented from being sold? When are the winner's names engraved? And, is the statuette that the winner lifts into the air on television the same one he or she gets to take home?
Answer:
"Winning a Tony this year is like winning Best Attendance in third grade: no one will care but the winner and their mom."
