...Then only straight men who have played Albin will have won the Best Actor TONY for LA CAGE AUX FOLLES...(since Gary Beach lost in 2004).
This thread isn't mean to cause a stir, it's just a weird notion I made while reading up on the show...

Posted: 6/11/10 at 11:44pmThere's only been 3 possible nominees. 2 of which happen to be straight. I don't understand what you're getting at.

At theatrefan4
George Hearn - straight (WINNER)
Gary Beach - gay - (LOSER)
Douglas Hodge - straight - (PENDING - ODDS LIKELY)
If douglas hodge wins, that means every straight man who has played ALbin has won the Tony as opposed to the gay nominee.
Just noticed it out of random observation

Gary Beach wasn't all that good in a pretty lackluster revival. His being gay or straight has nothing to do with it.
If you don't have a point, why bother posting?

Posted: 6/12/10 at 12:06amHe was also up against the unstoppable Norbert Leo Butz in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. I doubt even Hodge would have been able to beat Butz (pun not initially intended, but delightful none-the-less).

Posted: 6/12/10 at 12:12amIf Todd Ellison (La Cage Aux Folles) wins for BEST MUSIC DIRECTOR he'll be the first person to ever win in a category that doesn't exist!

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."

Posted: 6/12/10 at 12:21amActually there was a Best Conductor and Musical Director category, but it was eliminated after the 1963-64 season.

I'm aware. :)
There was also a Best Stagehand and a few others that no longer exist.

Posted: 6/12/10 at 1:50amI don't think this is any different from people noting that every time Laurents directs GYPSY, Rose wins the Tony. It's just as meaningless, but more touchy because sexuality is involved this time.

Posted: 6/12/10 at 8:33amI enjoyed Grammer much more than the irritating Hodge.
#24If Douglas Hodge wins the Tony...
Posted: 6/12/10 at 10:40amI also thought Grammer was eons better than Hodge.

I won't be upset when Hodge wins, but my vote would undoubtedly go to Sahr Nguajah for FELA! I don't understand how Hodge has all the buzz and Sahr has zero...his performance is unforgettable.
As for Gary Beach, I thought he was dreadful in that ****eous revival.
