Didn't see Next to Normal's up yet, but a few other shows already had their Tony winner marquees up this afternoon...

How did they have those printed up so fast?!? That's crazy.

I remember God of Carnage had changed its marquees the afternoon of the Tony nominations. They are quick with those signs!

CATSNY, they often have them prepared in advance, just in case, much like both teams in a major sports final have champion t-shirts & hats printed to sell to fans as they leave the stadium at the end of a series. If a given team loses, and this is pretty sad, they throw away all the stuff they made.

Also, its NYC, and not that hard to get something like that printed overnight.

Speaking of, that was my favorite nominations sign- the entire cast!

Actually, they donate the losing team's hats and clothing to kids in third-world countries, and no, I'm not joking.

Some little malnourished African boy is probably walking around wrapped in a banner that says "Constantine Maroulis - BEST ACTOR!".

Nice to know all those t-shirts go to a good cause.

There was a recent article on playbill talking about how the new technology for making signage can get sings done in a matter of hours, so I suppose the producers just put in a rush order.

if shows do get stuff printed up before the awards are announced, they should sell some of it at the Flea Market. I'd totally rock a "Wicked - 2004 Tony Winner for Best Musical" shirt.

wow they got those up fast, last year i remember it taking like 4-5 days post Tony's to take down all the "Nominated for (Inset number) Tonys including..." and get the winners sign up

The turn-around for marquee additions/changes post-Tonys has been 1-2 days for the past few years. I even remember one show changing theirs on MONDAY MORNING, just hours after winning their awards.

That's a real coup for Ave Q getting Marcia Gay Harden so soon after the Tonys. She's probably a great Kate Monster.

All of those wins were pretty predictable.

Kinkos can whip that stuff up in about two hours. It is indeed, not rocket scientism.

It took Next to Normal forever to put up their signs post-nominations. Who knows how long it'll take for them to put up their signs for their wins.
