Posted: 6/18/08 at 2:45pmI enjoyed them also. I thought Whoopie was quite funny and a good host.

Posted: 6/18/08 at 3:09pmOh hell, half the fun of watching something like the Tonys (no ' needed) is making fun of them.

Posted: 6/18/08 at 3:24pmI 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.)

Jules- what does that mean?
But I am so using "bitch brunch" in daily conversation. Thanks.

Posted: 6/18/08 at 3:39pmXanadu 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...
A click for life.

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
in the
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.
