The 64th Tony Awards

The theatuh, the theatuh
What's happened to the theatuh

-Choreography written by Irving Berlin

I watched The Tony Awards Sunday night and I have one question. When did Broadway Theater become all flash and no substance? In a way it mirrors what has happened to Time Square; the soul has been removed from both of them. I tried to like the show, I really did, but after Denzel Washington got up to accept his Tony and then joked about not knowing who actually gave them out (The American Theater Wing) and listening to Catherine Zeta Jones massacre the song Send In The Clowns from A Little Night Music right before she won a Tony in the Best Performance By A Leading Actress In a Musical category I had enough. I'm so disappointed.
