Broadway And The Tonys Need Kids (But Not For Every Production)

“The Tony Awards really need kids. If the Theater Wing could find a way to give kids a routing interest by getting more of them in to see these wildly overpriced productions (I know, it does try to), then the Nielsen numbers would follow. Kids ought to be part of the television show’s focus — not to infantilize the telecast any more than it already is, but to trumpet the party innocently and joyously, and end it early.”
