When TONY met Off-Broadway fore and aft in 2022.
Or was that a "flash mob" of AKA producers, on TV ?
On the TONY Awards fore and aft 2022.
Thank you Ms. O'Connell:
Deirdre O’Connell’s win for “Dana H.”— an actress of absolute passion and precision, has made her career Off and Off Off Broadway, enriching the work of two generations of playwrights, in works both traditional and very strange.
In her acceptance speech, which came midway through a ceremony in which more traditional fare was typically rewarded, O’Connell dedicated her Tony to every artist who has worried if the art they are making would prove too esoteric for Broadway. She insisted that her presence should inspire haunting art, frightening art, art that no one else may understand.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with The New York Times community.

The Antoinette Perry Awards aka TONY awards are and always have been a diminished perspective on the best of the American Theatre. Since MONEY is the monkey in this room, they should be rethought about ART to incorporate Off-Broadway as well. I have an archival book on The Tony Awards that lists all the winners (some who lost) as well. Not much has ever changed except the HYPE and now out-of-control ticket prices.

My Press Agent told me many voters DO NOT see what they're voting on. It's a CLOSED shop for decades.
