Face on Me

From Salon.com, "Does Anyone But Me Care About The Tonys?"

"Do they even still have the Tonys?" my friend asked the other day. It's a fair question.

From 2001 to 2004, the show lost 30 percent of its viewership, and the audience keeps skewing older. With so many channels on cable, so many exciting things to do on a Sunday -- laundry, for instance -- it's hard to believe that anyone outside the chattering classes of the New York theater world cares too much about another black-tie circle jerk. Is anyone really tuning in to see what the cast of "August: Osage County" is going to wear?

Man that's harsh. Couldn't they pick on some other play?

Also, i guess i'll be tuning in to see just that.
