POLL: How will you be celebrating the Tonys?

Posted: 6/15/08 at 12:35am

The 62nd Annual Tony Awards will air Sunday, June 15 at 8pm EST on CBS. How will you celebrate?

A. I'll literally be at Radio City Music Hall witnessing the gloriousness in-person, and bringing a padded-suit in the event the balcony collapses during LuPone's turn

B. Me, my gay boys and my fag-hags will grab the cocktails and roasted-weenies for our Tonys party cramped in an Astoria apartment

C. I'll watch them alone while logging-onto BWW every commercial break to discuss and fight

D. Tonys Schmonys... I've got episodes of 'So You Think You Can Dance' to catch-up on TiVo

E. Other (despite the broad stereotypes and metaphoric options provided)

I'll be having a party with a few of my close friends that I just graduated with, and chilling watching the Tonys.

I have the cyonide coated brownies should In The Heights not take home Best Musical..

E. I'm watching with my only theatre-obsessed friend (seriously more of my friends need to get into theatre), drinking and eating chocolate and checking BWW no doubt!

i'm right there with heathurrr's choice E. seriously, more of my friends need to get into theatre. only my friend and i will celebrate with a former teacher who also loves theatre. so yay for the three of us.
i totally made some amazing vegetarian wraps and chocolate chip cookies for tomorrow night. it's gonna be sweet.

one thing i HATE is that i can't go on bww during commercial breaks because i'm on the west coast. so the tonys will technically be over pretty much when i begin watching them. i'm going to be so tempted to log on and see the results. gahhh.

"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim

E. I'll be having a Tony party with a bunch of my friends. There will be Broadway-themed food and Broadway karaoke before the show. I have a feeling I will be the only one of the edge of my seat though (I'm the only informed person and I really care about who wins, lol).

E. I'm missing the Tonys for my first Thoroughly Modern Millie rehearsal, so I'm having a small party from the cast over Monday morning to watch it. We all better stay off the message boards tomorrow night!!!

Closest is B. No faghags or gays per se. Just me, my best friend, maybe a few other people, and some booze. We have a drinking game set up. Our buzzwords:
CRAFT
JOURNEY
AMAZING
TRULY BLESSED
MAGIC (or MAGICAL)
OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME
GOD
PATTI
GLORY DAYS
CUBBY
OROBOROUS
DRUNKEN CHITA RIVERA (less of a buzzword and more of an "if present" thing, like chugging a beer and running around pantsless at the appearance of Cheyenne Jackson).

But without logging on to discuss 'em here. I need my computer at its best running capacity, which means not using it for other things while I watch.

Since I am the dorkiest dork who loves the theater in my circle of friends, I am going to watch it alone in my home with Chinese (maybe an egg roll, Mr. Goldstone...)

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

(Chris & I are watching it together for the past 14 yrs-though I always take a day off after the Tonys bec. I get so excited and cant sleep that night! lol!)

Unfortunately, the TONYS is always the same day/weekend as the BOSTON GAY PRIDE, that's why I never made it to the actual TONYS> I would love to wear a tuxedo to see the Tonys and have our picture taken outside the Radio City hall, though I heard you cant take your camera inside..but I think I can manage something! ~ that's definitely one thing... I have to do in my lifetime as a broadway afficionado!

HAPPY TONY DAY!
