That's not the message that I've been getting from what ryhog has been sharing. I don't think he's saying that marketing is the only reason the Tonys are happening, but that marketing is a primary driver of WHEN they are happening.. and perhaps that viewpoint exposes the ugly truth that for the Broadway League, marketing truly is everything. But it is too late in the day for us to be surprised that money and commerce matters on Broadway, as opposed to art and artists.

“But, let's try to remember: :-)

1. The modern Tonys exist for one and only one reason: marketing. “

There you have it.

This is getting silly. Why do you refuse to process what I have written?

The modern Tonys [meaning those produced on a national TV broadcast, with lots of production, as opposed to the earlier ones that were essentially private affairs] exist only for one reason, because there is a big payoff in marketing. The League and its members would not spend the millions of dollars otherwise. But that has to do with causation, not some other reading of my words that you seem obsessed with. I have made my meaning clear.
