| And I was a little surprised that doll house closed so soon with the new class. I guess if it had one best play, it would have had a better chance of staying open longer. | |

| I find it amusing that this low-brow, knockabout farce has outlasted all four of this season's high-brow, more acclaimed nominees for Best Play. And it has no stars. None of its actors are TV sitcom stars or past Tony winners. It boasts no Pulitzer Prize-winning playwrights. Comedies are often overlooked at awards time, so I'm glad that the Oliviers has a special category for them (which this ''Play'' won in 2015). If the Tonys had a Best Comedy prize, it could've competed with ''Oh, Hello on Broadway'' and Joshua Harmon's ''Significant Other.'' (Lucas Hnath's ''A Doll's House, Part 2'' starts off very funny, but for me, really played itself out as a drama.) |

| Orang is the. Ew black has been in both categories for tv. I fear if there was a comedy category, a play with three laughs would be put in there to,avoid the competition I dramas. |

| I don't consider ''Orange Is the New Black,'' ''Transparent'' or ''Atlanta'' comedies at all. ... Anyway, if there were a Best Comedy this season, what's eligible? ''The Terms of My Surrender,'' ''Meteor Shower'' and ''The Parisian Woman''? (The Oliviers nominated ''Farinelli and the King'' for Best New Play, rather than Best New Comedy.) |
