| And the Tonys mean what? MJ and Paradise Sqaure were far from worthy competition, and twenty years from now, Girl From the North Country won't be mentioned in a Bob Dylan retrospective. SIX was probably the most worthwhile competition, even though it was a fantastic Taylor Swift concert. It's the luck of the draw (and the year). | |

| Girl From The North Country is about to be filmed, with an impressive cast including Olivia Coleman and Woody Harrelson. I actually think it's going to be remembered well, especially if the film is a hit. Time will tell. |

| The Tonys means that a lot of theater professionals thought it was worthy of the Tony, regardless of the level of competition. | |

| forget about the Tonys. It's a lousy metric. Focus instead on what many many people here, in the media, and elsewhere, who liked it a lot. Oh and that meaningless thing called the Pulitzer, which (as you presumably know) they don't award in a year if they don't think anything is worthy. | |

| The Pulitzer Prize committee has made some questionable choices over the years, including years when they awarded nothing in drama because they mistakenly thought no play was worthy (most famously, of course, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf). The Pulitzer may be a better metric than the Tony, but not by much. | |

| OK. Not gonna argue that point. But what then is the metric? Not awards then critics? Ok. Not critics so social media? Ok. The one thing I know is that the usual cranky ATC'ers are not the metric. :-) | |
