I love that the NYT has comments allowed on their site. It paves the way for gems like this one, in response to their live Tony nominations blog--it as at once gloriously ignorant & stubbornly curmudgeonly.
"I do not understand why the Tony’s ignore all the great work being done in other States. Even plays in New York City suburbs are excluded. The only function of the Tony’s is to advertise and make people believe there is quality on Broadway. There is not. Broadway appeals to the lowest common denominator like Television."
Does anybody else get the feeling that the guy behind this outrage plays a distractingly enthusiastic Harold Hill in an Albany JCC production of The Music Man?
