Olivier Award Nominations — Page 2

Well then it's good to know the Oliviers have a long history of such nonsense to stand behind and I can stop complaining about this year and instead bemoan their general ridiculousness.

Yeah, that sounds pretty arrogant.

I did not say a thing about the Tonys, nor did any other commenter above in a substantive comparative manner, unless I missed something.

Oh, for God's sake. I'm not getting into a battle of semantics with you nor did I intend it to be an attack on you personally. But if you didn't pick up on the implied comparison, then yes, I think perhaps you missed something...like:

They don't have a classics rule like we do for revivals.

At any rate, I guess you won't get your knickers in a twist if I just bemoan your general ridiculousness and complain about what you stand behind, which is nonsense. GAWD.

No.

It's new to the UK. Consequently it's absolutely correct to be treated as a new musical.
