...this is the story, not the winners or the show itself, but this?”
Personally I think the entire audience giving a standing ovation to the phrase “F Trump” is significant. If I had bothered to watch this drivel I would have tuned it out at that point.
There’s no reason that theater awards have to be politicized, any more than movie awards, sit-coms, pop songs or any other aspect of the entertainment industry. There aren’t that many New Yorkers who bother going to the overpriced crap on Broadway any more. Most of the audiences are foreign tourists, but a significant part of their market is tourists from all over the USA.
Little Bobby DeNiro and the audience at the Tony awards chose to give half of those people the finger last night. Back at ya guys!
No great loss actually. I can't recall watching any on the list ever. I don't even need to write all the names down.
No problem.
Now I finally totally understand why, in medieval times, actors were NEVER allowed to sleep within the town where they were performing...
