Posted: 6/3/05 at 4:41pmI read that book in summer camp last year! It was very humorous. I never thought how much trouble these actors have to go through.

Posted: 6/3/05 at 5:03pmDon't watch Who's the Boss. Tony Danza played Tony. Twice the horror.

Posted: 6/3/05 at 5:18pmHaving to miss every episode of "Who's the Boss" because of that Double Tony problem was very vexing. My aversion to all things Tony has only gotten worse. Imagine my horror when I discovered that if you take the A off Tonya it becomes Tony. That precluded me from attending "Caroline,Or Change." I shall seek a 12 step program for this terrible Tony disease.

Posted: 6/3/05 at 5:30pmOne Day at a Time, romanov. The mantra, not the sitcom. The sitcom starred Bonnie Franklin, who was nominated for a T*ny for Applause.

I've learned that tonyphobia is "fear of potatoes".
rom, will your admitted aversion to all things Tony now include the tuber?
Let me add that I don't know how accurate this info is, but thought in light of this thread, that it was sure funny!

Posted: 6/3/05 at 5:34pmRath, to answer your question, I believe Donna Murphy won the year that Julie Andrews declined her nomination. But I don't know who else was nominated that year.

Posted: 6/3/05 at 5:37pmMatt, LOL times infinity. I think I shall go out with friends tonight and have a vodka-tonic and make a supreme effort to meet someone named Tony. Who knows? It could be the start of something good.

Posted: 6/3/05 at 5:46pmBaby steps, romanov. Try to meet a guy named Guido who has a cousin named T*ny. You don't want to overdo it. If he's cute, take pictures and share with the class. And pass the vodka.

Posted: 6/3/05 at 7:08pmWinner of 6 Tony Awards means very little to the average theatre audience in the UK! Most people here don't know what the Olivier Awards are.. that was my point!

Ruben Blades(author of Capeman) wrote a song with Willie Colon in the 70's called "Plastico." It's all about a society where people prefer image over substance. The cd is called Siembra and it is a classic of the salsa genre.
