I think it would work, but it would not be the Tony's at all... maybe a different show???
Thoughts???

OMG - a "people's choice" award based on snippets of a theatrical performance?
This has to be one of the stupidest ideas - the brain child of a brainless person.

Hmm, not a fan. Way to "reality TV" for me. It doesn't seem fair at all to judge an entire show (especially lighting, scenery, direction...) based on a singular snipit of a performance.
"And the 2009 winner for best supporting actor in a play is, 'OMGZ WIKKED1111"
Completely idiotic.
However, given the contingency of Tony voters who don't live in NY and don't see shows, this is probably how many of them actually vote. Sadly.

I'm sorry, but that just sounds like the MTV Movie awards. I don't wanna see that. Ah-Ah, no way.

I'm terribly sorry, but all of the above posters are no longer eligible for the "detecting satire" award.
that is freaking hilarious. and yes if you guys actually think this is serious you might want to read over it again.
