Where is the Beacon? And more importantly, where are they gonna put everybody?

It's on Broadway at 74th Street. Not exactly Times Square.

Radio City dumped the Tony Awards..sad.
Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

Radio City also dumped everything else they could potentially book during that period. But when you have a producer who is offering 5 solid months of rent . . . that's a hard deal to turn down.

it was dumped in favor of this:

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

youd think that a theatre that is twice the size of many broadway theatres would have a bigger general marquee

That just looks sad.

Is there any chance the Tony Awards could be moved back to Times Square? I just had a thought, what if they did it at Lincoln Center?! That's neither here nor there, but just a thought.

Also Beacon's marquee changes every 10 seconds or so. It always shows coming attractions.
Other than a Broadway house, where else the show could be held? BestBuy Theatre?

Are you serious Best Buy formerly Nokia......the stench of pot lingers from 10 years ago......and the folding chairs would surely be welcomed.

Sort of sad looking.

And just thought of another idea (obviously not for this year, lol. I just think it's better than the Beacon). What about the Metropolitan Opera House. If I'm not mistaken it is MUCH larger than the Beacon (let me look those numbers up) and is also in a better location.
I know for a fact that I think MTV had maybe their music awards their at one point, I was actually living very close to the opera house and remember it vividly, so it can be done.
Any thoughts?

Tommyboy - to answer your question, most of the people who have been invited when it's been at Radio City Music Hall who are not up for nominations won't be invited. Most producers, etc. won't be there. They also aren't selling seats to the general public and I'm assuming will use few if any seat fillers.
Sort of sad.

I love the Beacon Theatre - absolutely gorgeous.
In my opinion, it will be a wonderful theatre for the Awards, bringing back a more intimate feel.
Radio City is cavernous, and I never liked having it there.
I'm looking forward to it!

The MET Opera House has the American Ballet Theater there this time of year, and has for years and years and years - that's not going to change for the Tony Awards.
The Beacon is like, at most, a ten minute walk up Broadway from the Opera. Same neighborhood. Upscale residential. Really nice area of the City to live. Not a bad location.
