and because of them, no replacement tony for Pyrce.

You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree. ~Dirty Rotten Scoundrels~
There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel. ~Curtains~
It is a far, far better thing I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest I go to, than I have ever known. ~A Tale of Two Cities ~
This is aweful. Sweeney has meant so much to me as a young aspiring actress, as have the preformers who give som eof the most brillinat preformances I have ever seen. I am shaking and am having a hard time typing and I know that it's unhealthy but I've just never felt this was before .
"We don't value the lily less for not being made of flint and built to last. Life's bounty is in it's flow, later is too late. Where is the song when it's been sung, the dance when it's been danced? It's only we humans who want to own the future too."

Sweeney Todd completely reinvents the show and is a revolutionary piece of theater. The Pajama Game is a bunch of regurgitated fluff, and god knows I love it, but you cant even compare. The voters have gone MAD!
"The hallmark of aristocracy is responsibility. Oh brother, that got me, that did me in!"
I think it's time they change this voting system, this night has been totally ridiculous. I have to say I was hoping for a few good suprises but for Sweeney to not win is just plain crazy...
I'm not gonna hate you in the magazines,
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna compromise my Christianity,
(I'm better than that)
You know I'm not gonna diss you on the Internet
Cause my momma taught me better than that.
Personally, I offiially don't get why they exist anymore.
There are audience awards to see what the audience likes most.
These clearly don't value artistic merit.
If they want to award 'fun' shows that they want to support finacially, I say they bag the whole thing and make a fund in the name of Mamma Mia.

In my case, that is the understatement of the century.

How did Pajama Game win. This makes no sense. Sweeeney was a brilliant reincarnation of a brilliant musical. Pajama Game, while well-crafted, was not as thought-provoking and,well,brilliant as Sweeney.
THIS IS BULL!!
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
I'm so surprised about both Jersey Boys an Pajama Game. I really thought Sweeney would win. And I really wanted Drowsy.
