I think it's ironic that Julie Andrews is your all-time Tony winner. That would be the first Tony she would ever win.

Now I must say, for an all-time Tony Award you are very heavily concentrated on recent shows and actors. It's also unfair to compare current sets to the ones constructed decades ago without current technology.

You might want to rethink your ballot.

You might want to rethink this thread...

Wow. You put A Chorus Line as nomination for the movie musical?

[husk_charmer]

Posted: 4/8/07 at 1:56pm

You might also go watch more movie musicals. "Rent" was NOT that great...and neither was "A Chorus Line."

Movie/Play turned musical Legally Blonde??? I beg to differ. Hairspray would probably be the winner there.

I just looked at that "Musicals Turned Into Movies" ballot. Four Best Picture Oscar Winners (WEST SIDE STORY, MY FAIR LADY, THE SOUND OF MUSIC, and OLIVER!) were not on it! These films are all-time classics! And what about GREASE?!

This thread is a farce!

There are so many problems with this list that I don't even know where to begin.

[TomMonster]

Posted: 4/8/07 at 2:08pm

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! Dumbest list ever.

(Sound of Music was a show FIRST and then a film)

Like Emcee, too many problems with the list to even argue it.

Is the point not more that this is "actor"'s choices? Surely because art is subjective the OP should be allowed to post his/her opinion. I think that the idea of the thread was for others to follow suit and say who/what they thought was best etc, not be rude to the OP and laugh at his/her taste.

Having said that, I'm not doing a list because I don't have the time right now!

Let me guess. You're probably about 16 and have seen a grand total of about 8 shows, haven't you?

There was a musical version of "Dial M For Murder?" Really?

"A Chorus Line -- The Movie"? Really?????????????

Judy Garland for Best Actress? Interesting considering she never even acted in Broadway show (though she did some solo music concerts at the Palace) during her entire career.

WICKED (UK) for Lighting? So in your world, the Tonys recognize West End shows? And they give out awards to understudies and replacements and there are categories for "Effects" and "Movies" and "Story" (perhaps you mean "Book")?


OK, now my head hurts.........

I'll admit this is a good topic for thought.
But that list? Wow.
Any all time list that inculdes Tarzan should not have Tony in the title.

I had to post again just to tell you that I am still amazed by this. I think it might be the dumbest thing I ever read in my entire life. Not joking. Wow, I cant get over it.

Wow Actor you have really outdone yourself. Best Understudy? Wouldn't that require the voters to see each show twice once with the lead and once with the understudy plus they would have to wait for the lead to get sick before they could see it again.

[fflagg]

Posted: 4/8/07 at 4:54pm

Sutton Foster??????

Dear God.

Ooopsydaisy - I didn't know this was a**holeworld! Wrong address.

Btw - you cannot disagree with opinions. I think you'd like to think that I'll argue with every single one of your posts but I don't have the time and don't care. I hope you've vented enough so that this thread can be answered, rather than questioned...yes, that IS what the post button is for - to ANSWER the thread, not to critique the thread.


Carry on.

Well...

[ljay889]

Posted: 4/8/07 at 6:39pm

You CAN certainly disagree with opinion. The whole point of an opinion is that it's arguable. It's another thing to BASH an opinion. BUT opinions are completely up for debate.

I don't think anyone is really trying to knock your tastes. It's just that there is better theatre outside of Rent, Wicked, and Mary Poppins - and eventually you are going to find it.
