| 15 eligible nominee candidates seems like enough to justify a 6th sloth. Especially with the precedent the Oscars has set for a long time now. And the Oscars is way less needy for the show to be a commercial for those movies than the Tonys are desperately needy for the show to be a commercial for the musicals on Broadway AND broadway in general, as a season and as an idea for cultural interest and tourist money. It seems only in the Tony Awards, CBS, the careers of the artists making the shows, the careers of the artists performing in them, and Broadways best interest to have 6 nominees this year. Hey, maybe even 7. Let's not pretend the Tonys is based entirely on merit, but even if it were, in a season of 15 new musicals, having 7, which is not even half the eligible shows, compete for Best Musical seems pretty fair... even if most of them aren't very good. |
