I enjoyed them also. I thought Whoopie was quite funny and a good host.

Oh hell, half the fun of watching something like the Tonys (no ' needed) is making fun of them.

I actually found this year to be not only entertaining, but quite correct in general as far as the awards go. I agreed with most all of the play wins. I was glad to see that the AUSUST sweep still left some room for other plays to be recognized (BOEING-BOEING, 39 STEPS, THE SEAFARER.) The SOUTH PACIFIC craze was a little much, but none of its awards were undeserved. Honestly, there were only 3 awards I disagree with (XANADU should have had book; CRY-BABY should have had choreography; Daniel Evans should be a Tony winner.)

Xanadu was weakly performed? I highly disagree.

The Tonys are a joke, the oscars are a joke, the emmys and grammys are a joke, and so are the SAG awards.

Now the MTV Movie awards are the highlight of any award ceremony either that or a marathon of "30 something" with Geico commercials inbetween

""i love the tonys. what kind of a theatre fan are you?""


Now someone can't be a theatre fan if they don't like the Tonys?? Perhaps someone can make me a copy of the manual.

"Tonies"? "Toney's"? That's almost as bad as "Tony's"!

I thought this was the most enjoyable awards show I've seen in a long time. Whoopie was a wonderful host - making the show move along at a quick pace, without ever really feeling rushed. The performances were about as good as you can get, considering the fact that those casts are given only a couple of chances to get rehearsals in with the new blocking required for that big stage.

And PJ - for me it wasn't the company because I was watching it by myself.

On the other hand - maybe it was the company...

I agree this thread is a joke.

I dont always agree with the Tonys or the Oscars, but they are what they are and one should enjoy them with a grain of salt and humor.

And whoopi was fanfreakingtastic. More proof that nothing is liked by all.

Bravo to borstal for the song reference.

I'll add another one:

There is nothing like a bitter queen
Nothing

world.

Hm. You've all given me a feast for thought. Why have I come to be so critical of the art form I claim to love? Maybe I have been in the wrong company (my own) too long.

You might see less of me while I ponder these points.
