I was intrigued enough after watching the webcast of you asking this question to find it. Very disappointed at the answers given by others but... that is their opinion and they are entitled to it. I am from New Zealand (still here) and will probably never visit New York or Broadway and have only been lucky enough to visit the West End once so far. To me personally the Tonys are fantastic but then I have only seen three ever broadcast on New Zealand television and when I see the answers given by others it tells me why. I think anyway.
Have they become too insular? You mentioned not wanting theatre to be elitist but have the Tonys done just that? I don't know what they are like but I suppose I liken them to a theatre version of the Oscars but not quite. Are you (we as theatre ppl) not reaching the very ppl we want to to encourage them to come to theatre? Is that what the Tonys are about? Or are they a way for Broadway to congratulate itself and those that work there? Which isn't necessarily a bad thing but to use a theatrical term - Is it your superobjective?
Personally I would love to see the Tonys. I am interested in how productions fare and whose on top and getting the awards for their performances and work, but... am I the odd one out?

Love the Tonys! Better than the celluloid of the Academy Awards.
It is live performances and The Jersey Boys rocked. Although Frankie Valli is a better singer then the guy who played him. In any case, the Tony Awards, are what is to live theater performances, what the Academy Awards is to the movie industry! And the show is better because you actually get to see, on stage, parts of the performances at the Tony Awards.

No... no i'm no longer. Lol, I purely complete a drawing I labored... actually approximately 8 hours on at the same time with stuff I had to do in Photoshop, and it would not even look that solid. i'm going to shop it in my scrap folder, yet i wanted this one to coach out magnificent... and it regrettably di- A Greenday musical? it particularly is cool! Haha. i'm no longer upset anymore. i'm going to learn from my blunders besides, and the subsequent drawing would be much greater useful. ... perhaps it is what they meant whilst they pronounced i recover from issues too at as quickly as... That became approximately 40 5 seconds... the two way, i did no longer be attentive to the Tony Awards existed till you asked... shame on me. :[
