We are having our first Tony party this year and need help with themed food ideas that match up with shows.

Anyone have some good suggestions?

You could do a chocolate chip cookie half diped in chocolate for If/Then.

My roommate and I used to throw a Tony part every year and charged our guests with naming their dishes after a Broadway play or musical. The dishes themselves didn't have to be "Broadway themed" just the names.

Some classics we got:

Weenie Todd (a.k.a Pigs in a Blanket)
Jello Dolly
Fries and Dolls
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof Sundae in the Park with George

There are others but they escape me but these get the point across.

I remember doing this for the 2007 awards. If I recall, we had Spring Awakening Rolls, Grey Poupon on a Garden Salad and Apple Tree Martinis.

How about taking the song "Sugar Daddy" and putting bowls of the confections mentioned for Hedwig?

Eggs for "Rocky" (or Prairie Oysters for Cabaret-if you have the stomach for them!)
But maybe deviled eggs for Rocky in all seriousness.
Oatmeal Raisin cookies for A Raisin in the Sun
Martinis or something Gin infused for Bullets
Shish Kabobs for Aladdin (or the aforementioned Hummus)
Steak or some other "Texan" food for All the Way (LBJ was from Texas-so that fits-a southern food-like Barbeque would work as well)

Eggs (raw) for both Rocky and Cripple of Inishmaan. And save me some Fripple Frapple.

An empty bowl for If/Then.

For my party, I'm making:

Agrabah Hummus for "Aladdin"
NYC Black & White Cookies for "If/Then"
Mini Madison County Meatloaves for "The Bridgets of Madison County"
Memphis Mac & Cheese Cups for "Violet"
Cucumber Sandwiches for "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder"
Kit Kat Klub Krisps for "Cabaret" (they are baked parmesan crisps)
Master of the House's Sausages for "Les Miserables" (bacon wrapped weenies)

Just, please, no poison in your pocket.

Violet cupcakes (or some other violet flavored dessert!)
Rocky Road
Black and white cookies for If/Then (as well as the 2 different storylines it also adds the New York element)
A loaf of bread for Les Mis? Maybe add some nice French cheeses to go with it! Or...sausages filled with this and that...kidney of a horse, liver of a cat :P
Licorice bullets (over Broadway)

A CREAM RESTIRRED

(reprinted from THE GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LAMB AND MUTTON)

What happens to a cream restirred?

Does it dry up ALL THE WHEY
like a HEADCHEESE IN A CANGREJO QUICHE
Or VIOLATE like a coup de GLACE MENAGERIE--
And then stop its run?
Like the BRIDGE MIX OF MADISON COUNTY?
Does it stink of BOLLOCKS OVER BROAD BEANS like a CREMA VELOUTINA?
Or crust and sugar over like the TWELFTH BITE; OR, WHAT YOU WHIP,
OF MOUSSE AND MENTHE?

Maybe it just sags
like THE KRINGLE OF INISHMAAN

Or does it explode AFTER MIDNIGHT?

I'm not hosting a party this year, but if I was, I'd serve Bee Sting Cake for GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE.
