the Tonys, 1976, ’77

the Tonys have become for me what
the Rubinstein Competition was last
spring, or was it summer, an addiction
in ’76 “A Chorus Line” essentially won
everything, the closest thing to it was
“Chicago”, which, if I remember, got
nothing, undeservedly, but how do
you top a titan, “A Chorus Line“ has
never been bested, you came out
dancing
it’s ’77 though, now, and Lily Tomlin
gets a special Tony for a show that
couldn’t be called either a play or a
musical, “Appearing Nitely“ was a
revelation
watch Lily Tomlin receive her award,
you’ll see what I mean

Wow, being in Chorus Line must have been exhausting!
also, surely, exhilarating, transformative – Richard
