THIS THREAD IS ABOUT; WHAT IF BOEING-BOEING WAS A NEW PLAY IN 2008!"

...Boeing-Boeing had been a new play. Thus entering it into the best play slot for the Tonys. Would it have been nominated, if so what would have been the 4 plays been?

My thought;

Is it really that hard to be a comedy and win , or at least get nominated?

Of course not. THE LITTLE DOG LAUGHED -- a comedy, that was closed already -- was nominated over CORAM BOY -- a drama, that was still open -- a couple seasons ago.

You poor thing, I hope your index finger is not in too much pain from that extra click of the mouse it experienced. If so I send my deepest sympathy towards it.

I hope the thread revision I made is acceptable. (Crosses fingers)

I DON'T KNOW, I COULDN'T TELL FROM ALL THE SHOUTING.

If you really think about it, BOEING is not a perticularly well-written play. I don't think it would have been nominated had it been new. The reason it did so well is because it ignored the poorly written script and embraced the humor. It won Best Revival because it appeared on the scene and no one expected the comic gem that appeared on the Longacre stage. Despite the fact that the script is poor, the cast and director made it work and everyone seemed to overlook its past.
