Tonys – High Entertainment Factor

So TV ratings for last week’s Tony Awards broadcast were down. It was the most entertaining Tony broadcast in years. “The telecast was young and multicultural, traditional and classy – oddly enough, just like the real boundary-defying season. There were shockingly few of those moments that made a person embarrassed to have spent so much of her precious life in the theater. And despite the show’s hilarious preponderence of prescription-drug sponsors, I’m told that ratings actually went up 19 percent in that tyrannically desirable and healthy 18-49 demographic. Ambien, anyone?”
