Will Tony Nominators Be Invited? Compare to THE RIVER

It has been reported that Tony nominators will not be invited to THE RIVER--I assume because of its limited run, relatively small seating capacity at Circle in the Square and the fact that Tonys can do no financial good for a closed show, even if that show doesn't need the bump. If they were invited, it would mean the loss of at least the equivalent of one full house.

Now, the Booth is only a little bigger than Circle in the Square: just over 800 seats, I think. It, too, is slated to close well before the Tonys.

Question: Will the nominators be invited, for prestige's sake? Or will economics rule the day?

I can't imagine that the producers of THE RIVER would shut out both Jackman and Butterworth of possible Tony nods.

But anything can happen I suppose...

Showbiz411 was in error when they made that claim.

Well, if that's true, as Emily Litella (the late, wonderful Gilda Radner) used to say, "Never mind."

I wonder where Showbiz 411 got its info.

Aren't any of the Tony nominators people who regularly purchase tickets on their own and see shows? Do they all wait for an invitation?

I think we are talking about the Tony voters, not just the nominators (a smaller group, no doubt).

The Tony nominators number 50; the Tony membership at large, 870.

To be eligible for a Tony, however, you need to invite the Tony membership.

But if Hugh Jackman is giving such a fine performance, shouldn't members of the Tony Committee want to see The River?
