| And 'we" still discuss, debate, question, predict, argue, etc. etc. etc.(as the King might have said)the Tony nominations and awards. And it's not even as if the awards(except maybe best musical), let alone nominations, had any real box-office clout. | |

| Yes, the Tonys were pretty unimportant in 1952 | |

| Thank you. I have said that a bunch of times here. In 1952, the Tony awards were pretty unimportant to the public. Newspaper ads might mention the New York Drama Critics Circle award if a show had won it, but rarely if ever Tony awards. | |

| There was a time I believe when Best Actor and Actress in both a musical and play prompted people to buy tickets to check out the award winner, at least when tickets were reasonably affordable. Sometimes supporting as well, if they were a sensational breakout star like Gwen Verdon in "Can-Can", for example. For a while when there were some really great choreographers on Broadway, the winner of the Best Choreography award also sold tickets. | |
