*It is very, very difficult to get tickets to.
*The tickets are expensive, especially if you want to get decent seats.
*Even if they are decent seats, they still require opera glasses to see the faces on stage.
*You have to dress up for the occasion ( "black tie, please", so the ticket says).
*You have to queue for an hour before they would let you into the hall (RCMH)
*While, on the other hand, you have a choice of seeing it close-up on TV in the comfort of your living room or bedroom, for free!
So, why would you like to go to the TONY Awards???
To me, it is the great feeling of community that pervades the place when everyone cheers for every nominee...and the exhilarating feeling shared with like-minded people that another good theatre season has come to a close!
