The Tonys slapped the Oscars with this new rule starting with this year’s awards show.
According to Deadline, a letter went out from the Tony Award Productions to potential ticket-buyers that says, “The Tony Awards has a strict no violence policy. In the event of an incident, the perpetrator will be removed from the event immediately.”
Oh, please. This is the Tonys. There will be no bitch slapping. And if there is, it will be so dramatic that the slapper will exit stage left and never look back. And if that doesn’t happen, then there will be a rumble between the musicals and the plays that will make West Side Story jealous.
Now, I am thinking they should do a Hamilton and not miss their shot. We need a duel. Just not one that ends as it did between Hamilton and Aaron Burr. Too soon?
