TONY Awards 2023

[+ Lucky]

Given the writer's strike, I thought that this year's TONY Awards were pretty well done. The theater  looked great too. And kudos to Harrison Ghee for their outfit!

The Shucked number was the very definition of ten pounds of shit in a three pound sack.

Watched last night as I was attending a wedding on Sunday night...(what gay couple plans their wedding for TONY night?)...and agree. Theater is a live medium so winging it comes naturally to many of these folks, so the script less format worked pretty well. I agree the Shucked number was a mess...didn't sell the show at all, which is too bad because it's lots of fun. Loved that they did the anagram song from Kimberly Akimbo...and missed Annaleigh in the Sweeney presentation. Glad we got to see Lea rock it on Don't Rain on My Parade. Thought Henderson would win Best Actor...which would have been fine, but glad Sean Hayes got it as well. One of those categories I would have had a terrible time voting. Broadway needed the bump...hopefully it will help, but until ticket prices come down, it's going to be too luxe for many. (Especially those who don't know all the discount tricks.)

other than promo codes, previews and early buying - what other discount tricks can you recommend ?

Having actually seen Shucked, I can confirm that sack is nowhere near a five-pounder.

Three is being generous.

TKTS, TDF, TodayTix app, digital lotteries and the good ol' fashioned showing up ten minutes before curtain and seeing what deals the BO is willing to make.

Yes, Benjamin Nicholas, exactly! Not for the big shows like Sweeney, Hamilton, etc., but the digital lotteries are pretty amazing...you often get sensational seats...sometimes too close (first row), for minimal money. Of course no guarantee, but I've been pretty lucky. And TodayTix will often have good sales...including "no fee" days.
