I'm kind of with her on this

I think Broadway producers spend far too much time obsessing about the Tonys. In London, no one would dream of scheduling openings to coincide with the Olivier Award nominations; the result is that you get new shows opening all year round. Of course, the Olivier's are also very much more about rewarding excellence rather than simply marketing... which, IMHO, is another point in their favor!

You seem to realize the defect in your opening sentence in your last sentence. When you are trying to make money, it is only natural to obsess about the vehicle that will enriches you. The Olivier is not really comparable to the Tony because it is not as valuable a brand. (Not at all saying that is a bad thing.)

Ironically, while less of a brand, the Oliviers are more branded.

I'm not sure what that means. Maybe I am just being dense about something that's clever.

I assume Singapore/Fling is talking about the awards that have corporate sponsors: The Dow Scrubbing Bubbles Best Musical, or some such nonsense.

The Clean House could have won the Dow Scrubbing Bubbles Best Play, I suppose...
