As you bask in the afterglow of the Tony's, can you recall the episode of Seinfeld that saluted the Tony Awards?

In this episode Kramer attends the Tony Awards as a "Seat-Sitter" and when the award for Best Musical was presented he was swept up on stage with the producers of the show and he was given a Tony Award in error.

1)What fictitious show won the Tony for Best Musical in this episode?

Soon after the Tony Awards ceremony, the producers of the Tony winner for Best Musical approached Kramer at Sardi's to get the Tony statuette back. However, instead they agreed to let Kramer keep his Tony award as long as he performed one duty as a producer. It was his job to tell the famous lead actress of the show that she was "Fired" for being to difficult to work with?

2) Who was this real famous actress?

I don't remember the show, but the star was Raquel Welch. ARMS!! LOL She didn't move her arms when she danced, and then she saw Elaine in the street and they had a cat fight.

That was one of my favorite episodes because it guest starred one of my favorite actresses, Raquel Welch as the star of Scarsdale Surprise.

Theaterbaby and Orion59 each nailed this Seinfeld Tony trivia.

The winner for Best Musical was Scarsdale Surprise, the story of the Diet Doctor's Murder. And it's female leading lady was Raquel Welch who Kramer had to fire!
