^ amen mister matt. i mentioned this earlier in this same thread.
MEMPHIS10: "Memphis will win...Alot of the Tony vote comes from the road, The League of Producers and Presenters"
i don't even know where to begin here. you claim to know the road so well that 'memphis' is sure to be a lock in our opinion. but i find it hard to believe that a lot (two words) of votes come from the 'The League of Producers and Presenters' which doesn't even exist. you might have meant 'The League of American Theatres and Producers' which changed it's name to 'The Broadway League' in 2007 when Charlotte St. Martin replaced Jed Bernstein as Executive Director. a lot (again, two words) of votes come from them and other touring houses true, but not from this unknown league you are talking about.
when you make ridiculous statements regarding FACTS, i begin to doubt your opinions and claims of relationships with road houses.
as for the thread in general, read my other posts and you will see that i hope 'fela!' wins. however, i'm not betting on it. road houses are scared of what's different/not commercial, but this is old news. hopefully, they will surprise us all this year.
"the stage too must experiment - with ideas, with the psychological relationship of men and women, with speech and rhythm forms, with dance and movement, with color and light - or it must and should become a museum product. in an age of terrific implications as to wealth and poverty, as to the function of government, as to peace and war, as to the relation of the artist to all these forces, the theatre must grow up. the theatre must become conscious of the implications of the changing social order, or the changing social older will ignore, and rightly, the implications of the theatre." - hallie flanagan, director of the federal theatre project
