Interesting idea about Woolf...

Okay, so, I think that 12 Angry Men deserves to win the Tony, however, I had an interesting idea...
How
Woolf is without a doubt a great productions, and IMO trails behind
12 Angry Men by just a little. Now, I know some people think Glengarry could win, but just read on for a sec or two.

Woolf is a great play, Albee is getting the honorary Tony (which could arguably work against Woolf's chances). However, Woolf is not doing so well BO wise. Filling to under 65% for the past month or so. Now, Tonys are not always about rewarding the "very best" productions, so, you think Tony voters could give it to Woolf to keep it alive? It is still a great revival, and without a doubt, winning the Revival tony could give the production longevity, and if it takes it, I could see it running for easily another year or two, especially if replacements are cast very well. What you all think? I am starting to see that this may be what will happen come June 5th...

Tony voters won't "give" a show a Tony just to keep it running unless it's their own show.

I disagree. If a show is amazing, and they are on the verge of lets say 12 Angry Men and Woolf, of course they are gonna go for Woolf, the show that is still running and isn't doing very well...I would...
