2021 Tony Awards

[silverstarry]

Calling all ONTD theater lovers (all 15 of us)! It's Tony night so let's discuss the winners, the losers, and the fashion.

If this picture doesn't sum up the juxtaposition of the Tony Awards, I don't know what does. Darlene Love, Matthew Morrison, Marissa Janet Winokur, Chester Gregory, and Kerry Butler perform at the Tony Awards.

Most of the winners were as predicted but I wasn’t expecting those big wins for The Inheritance, especially with the lukewarm reception it got on Broadway. Slave Play must have been so sure they had it in the bag cause they announced a return run prior to the Tonys and at a bigger theater too. I’m happy there were so many first time winners; especially Danny, he’s been over due for years!

Edit: I’m surprised the Broadway’s Back portion didn’t try to include a performance from all newly reopened shows. I’m guessing it was the individual shows’ producers call but it seems like it would have been great advertisement for everyone.

The return of Slave Play... LMAO. They tried with the timing. And I read that they can't use Tony Nominee if they didn't win. Once the Tony Awards® have been announced for a given season, you must discontinue the use of the Tony Award® designation on behalf of a recipient of a nomination who did not receive an award within 30 days following the date of the announcement. You may continue to use the Tony Award® designation on behalf of a recipient of an award in accordance with these rules.
