I love tradition. Every year since I have been able to talk about the Tony nominations with fellow confessed theater geeks, Greg Allen and Paul Winkler, a tradition was born. Now that the Tony Award© nominations have been announced, the theater award season is officially popping, and we're back to dish.
We're Back!!!
Many shows were elated about the announcements:
Other shows were not so happy. 
Because of Tony Award nominations, shows will be seeing a boost in ticket sales. Sadly, some will be making more closing announcements. Limited runs will be ending, and on various nights throughout late May until the BIG NIGHT on June 11, 2023, many other prizes are going to be won. 
The latest hot topic conversation circling the award circuit this year is going to be about non-binary performers and their representation in a binary performance world. The Drama Desk, Drama League, and Outer Critics Circle have already made a more public attempt to address the problem and the Tony Awards have not made a distinction, but have offered an olive branch of sorts with making groundbreaking nominations:
In between our moments of shade, we can have a little substance. However, when given more time and a microphone (and an IMovie tutorial), we armchair quarterback the Tony Awards just like every one of our fellow theater geeks and have already planned our menu for the big night. So come join us and see if you agree or disagree with our choices, as we continue our fun tradition. Support live theater wherever you are.
