The Playgoer on The Tonys

I couldn't possibly care less about who wins the Tony awards. No offense.

If you do, the man of the hour writes a blog called The Playgoer, where he's covering the Tonys comprehensively. He's got all the lowdown.

- Who got nominated?"

Utopian" Russians rule the supporting categories: Billy vs Ethan and Ehle vs Plimpton
- What (and a bit of who) didn't get nominated.
The Vertical Hour
yes, for those keeping score, Vertical Hour by Sir David Hare, directed by Sam Mendes, starring Julianne Moore was a big zero today. (Nothing even for Bill Nighy)
- Who did the nominating?
So, I'm glad folks like Todd London, Lynn Nottage, and John Dias (former Publc dramaturg) are there...But who the hell is this "Retired Judge of the New York State Court of Claims"???

Okay, confession. I went to The Tonys in 1997. It was the first year at Radio City Music Hall and Rosie was hosting. Tuxes were required. We walked into the building behind Alec Baldwin and John shared a smoke with Lynne Thigpen, who won an award later in the evening.
