What disappoints me a lot about this 2-tiered system is the thought of the kids who won't see the Tonys on Paramount Plus.
Yes, they could still catch some performances on CBS, but not the speeches of the winners who might inspire them even more.
At the 2013 Tonys, Neil Patrick Harris did an Emmy-winning opening called ''Bigger,'' by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Tom Kitt. He sang: “There’s a kid in the middle of nowhere sitting there living for Tony performances, singin’ and flippin’ along with the Pippins and Wickeds and Kinkys, Matildas and Mormonses. So, we might reassure that kid, and do something to spur that kid, cause I promise you all of us up here tonight, we were that kid.” |
