If they didn't mind scaling down a little bit, I would love the Tonys to be at the Ziegfeld.

I think they should do it in Giants Stadium. 
I watch it on TV so I really don't care where they do it.
Honestly though the awards are all about movie stars so maybe they should move it to LA and just use all the movie stars.
Rolls eyes.

I've never been inside Carnegie. I wonder if that would work. Otherwise, the Gershwin or Hilton would be excellent choices.

We are on 3 pages & no one has said so I'm going to say it!!
Jan Maxwell's bag! It seems pretty spacious without either of her TONYS.

Well since he wants to remove any aspect of "Hollywood" and seems to be ok with CBS dropping the telecast it won't matter where they are held since nobody will see them (since he doesn't seem to realize that no cable network is going to pick up an awards show that is a black hole for ratings, those networks struggle enough as it is).

^This has been pointed out time and again, but the Tonys may not bring in huge ratings but CBS keeps them because the viewership is one of the wealthiest demographics of the awards shows. And this is a selling point to advertisers, which is what TV is really about.

Carnegie Hall is a valid choice off the top of your head but, I doubt it has the appropriate fly space for drops and what not. The Beacon Theater seems like a logical location and I'd still put BAM on the map of an option. Lincoln Center is not going to happen unless the Tony Producers want to really pay out some major cash for the Metropolitan Opera House. I still think the church on 175th street is going to be the final and only option for next year.

I too would love Carnegie Hall, barring fly space problems, but I would greatly discourage the Beacon. It's one of the worst venues I've ever seen a show in. Terrible acoustics, sprawling yet not particularly large. I don't believe it has adequate seating capacity.
Ahhh well. I'm sure they'll come up with a terrible choice that people will balk at. (Actually I'm not sure, of course, but playing the cynic means I won't be dissapointed.)

I'd be willing to bet a lot of money that it'll be at the Beacon. It's a large enough venue, and unlike Rudy, I've never had any acoustic problems there. It was recently renovated (right?) and looks nice and inside.

@Rudy, on Broadwayworld.com there will always be people to "balk at" other peoples choices and opinions. It wouldn't be Broadwayworld.com if that didn't happen, as much as I wish it didn't. However, I'm guilty of balking at other peoples opinions as well.

forgot to mention the also highly unlikely event of the Tony Awards going back into a Broadway house next year like the Gershwin, St. James, or Marquis. These spaces just don't seem big enough to house the Tony Awards based on number of seats available. After the tickets sales of Radio City, which seats close to 6,000, how could the TONY producers pay for anything less than half?
