It’s Tony time! It’s that exciting time of the year when the lights of The Great White Way shine a bit brighter. Needless to say, everybody said “Yeah!” when Kinky Boots got 13 nods! Well, this fan of the show did! I mean, who will the Lucky Guy holding the Tony next month be? Stark Sands or Billy Porter? Maybe they’ll tie!
Tony day is a bit like the holidays for theatre-lovers. It’s like we’re Counting Down To Christmas. Then ... when Christmas finally arrives ... we say Bring it On!
Maybe there will be a Cinderella story. I mean, there’s usually one in the Final 4! This isn’t basketball though. I mean the Tony Awards is a contest ... in a fun, not mean kinda of way. It leaves all the nominees thinking it’s not impossible, but that it IS possible. For them ... this is the time leading up to that One Perfect Moment. It’s the "When I Grow Up" I wanna be a Tony nominee moment come true.
Bottom line. There is no loser (at least in my book). The musical, plays, directors, actors, etc. all win. So a big congratulations to all the nominees and a big thank you from this theatre fan to everyone on Broadway for all you do.
