There's no reason to see the show for Tony reasons, make them pay.

"It's not so much the ones who haven't booked yet, but the screw you to those who committed a date to seeing it."

I'm sure that those people can find something else to do that night. I'm not worried for them in the least.

Good for the show. no need to give away 1700 free seats.

For what it's worth, as of April 18th the voters had not even received their invitations for this show, and some were wondering if they would at all. And now, as others have pointed out, there is zero reason for the production to have them come at this point.

Good for them. They probably have premium priced seats they had set aside for them. If there's nothing to vote on, why not uninvite them and sell those seats?

Not tacky at all! Good business sense. Now they can sell those seats to the public. Just because you are a Tony voter doesn't mean you get a free ride to everything. Sometimes you have to open your wallet and actually pay for things.

I just got a ticket for June 4th...I hope it was one that had been set aside for a Tony voter!

Or would that be cutting it too close?

Can someone please clarify: I thought that becoming a member of the League with "Tony Voter status" meant that you were "ENTITLED" to a pair of tickets to every Broadway production that "qualifies" for a Tony Award.

I completely understand why the producers would retract the offer of tickets to Voters, but if they are entitled, then the producers could be "in trouble" with the League.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

From my understanding a production can choose not to invite the Tony voters, it just means they will be ineligible for any awards (naturally). If the show opens this close to nominations being announced and then receives no nominations I certainly wouldn't bother inviting the voters, especially when the show is selling as well as this one is.

That's what I suspected.

I wonder if MACBETH will now do the same?

I love this story.

It reminds of that Cher line in Silkwood "Who's gonna rape you that you ain't already f**ked".

I'm a little confused. Wouldn't have Tony voters seen the show before the nominations were announced? So they could decide what to nominate? Or are they going back to decide on what to vote for. I mean, if they haven't seen it yet, why would it be in consideration?

The voters do not decide the nominees. There is a much smaller group that does that.

There is a committee of a small group of people who see all the shows and determine eligibility. Through a season, they announce what the final determinations are (ie that the four girls who play Matilda are not eligible, but will instead receive an Honor).

The based on those determinations, there is a separate small group of people who also see all of the shows and collectively decide who will be nominations. Those nominations are then announced (which happened earlier today).

Lastly, Broadway League members with "Tony Voter" status then (supposedly) see all the nominated shows (and have been doing so all season long) and must cast their ballot by a deadline. There is about 850 voters. Voters can also be from either of the two committees mentioned above.

The two committees have seen I'LL EAT YOU LAST, but the Voters will now have to buy tickets if they want to see it.

Gang... No, I was not kidding. Yes, I really heard this from a reliable source. BUT I shared it in the hopes we could all get a laugh out of it, whether we agreed or not. Just a mere five hours between the e-mail and the nominations... Made me chuckle.

I really feel like Bette could make a lot of money for BC/EFA by selling signed posters and Playbills, esp since she cant sign many at the door. These would be flying out the door.

BUT...but...

I believe that in order to be eligible, you have to invite the voters. If they didn't do it in proper order, that would explain why she wasn't nominated.

Many, many shows invite the voters during previews.

Agree with those who say it makes financial sense. But also agree that it appears tacky. It's a shame, because they could have gone the Hugh Jackman route of bypassing Tony eligibility and saved face. But I guess they didn't have a strong enough advance.

Actually, they do. The show is a good financial success for all involved. And their advertisement campaign is minimal.

It's a show about Sue Mengers. "Tacky" is the coin of the realm. People holding rescinded tickets are having a more immersive experience.

I also do not think it tacky at all.

They made tickets available to the nominating committee, were not nominated and now there is no reason for "the voters" to get free tickets since there are NO nominations for this show.

To the Tony voters - if you want to see a show that is not nominated for anything, you gotta pony up the cash like the rest of us "civilians". I would assume the voters are disappointed but doubt that they are surprised by this.

The only reason I think this is tacky is that they had already invited Tony Voters and are now not honoring their tickets. It's like planning a Super Bowl party, inviting all your friends over, and then two days before the party your team is out of the running, so when your friends show up at your door, you tell them to go home.

If they had not sent invitations or CONFIRMED TICKETS, then sure, don't bother. But it's tacky to rescind an offer.
