The scenes performed on the Tonys in the 90s when I watched as a lad are still burning in my brain, and made me very very excited to be doing theater, and wanting to go to nyc and see these plays, and others too.
Let's be real, MANY musical performances do not work on the Tonys. Every year I can say that. They still do them. Sometimes they concoct a medley or montage of sorts and it doesn't work and they should have done 1 song straight, and sometimes it's amazing. Sometimes they pick 1 song and it's just not the best song for selling the show.
They still do them.
I also think just for the audience at home, mannnnnnny of whom haven't seen ANY of these shows or actors... it behooves the Tonys and Broadway producers to give the audience as much info as they can get to be invested in the shows of the season, root for certain shows or performances, and get a sense of what the nominated shows and performances are.
Every show on Broadway films press reels... why can't they all get 2 minutes to air a trailer of what the show is? A live performance and/or a filmed trailer. And for actors there should be legit clips of their performance. For writer and directors too, they should get to pick a clip or edit from the reel footage 30 seconds or something that showcase their work.
Not just for the artists but really for the home audience. |
