I agree, it's an awful situation but too much time has passed and the winners this year will always be less legitimate because of the abbreviated season.
The only three shows nominated that have a chance of coming back are Tina, Jagged Little Pill and Moulin Rouge, and if the point of the Tonys is to sell tickets, what's the benefit of The Inheritance winning a ton of awards if no one can see it? I also seriously doubt that any of the shuttered shows would gain enough from a Tonys ceremony to justify putting on the Tonys.
They should create a class of awards (maybe a citation) for all the nominees and let the shows that survive compete when Broadway returns. |
