The Great White Way and Killing the Weather Man

So. The Tonys. 

General amazingness of course. An appearance by the original cast of one of the best musicals ever. Some random advice on what you should wear in different situations. 

And 60-mile-an-hour winds.

What, you ask? What do advanced thunderstorm warnings have to do with the Tony Awards?

I DON'T KNOW EITHER!!!!!

Except that the stupid weather people kept interrupting the VERY IMPORTANT PROGRAM WHICH HAPPENED TO BE ON TV to show us the doppler radar.

"In about two minutes such-and-such storm will be reaching such-and-such county and there will be blah blah blah..."

They interrupted the theatre awards for THIS?

Now don't get me wrong, it's important for people to know when there are going to be insane things happening in the sky and falling on their houses and stuff. But come on. Would they have done this to, say, the Fantastic Plate or whatever it is those football fans go nuts over?

NO.

And yet they fail to recognize that people watching to see which Broadway shows win Tony awards DO NOT CARE about the weather. No, we do not. It can be raining cats and dogs. It can be hailing golf balls. But please do not notify us if it means taking away the Tony Awards. 

Anyways, mostly nonexistent blog readers, any thoughts on the results?

Seeing as our readers are nonexistent; perhaps they are ghosts, and therefore wanted Phantom of the Opera to win.

Yeah, I know that's not very funny.

I know very little about musicals. But it is very sad that their awards were interrupted. The weather should stick to its own channel and stop raining on your parade.

Also, if our readers are nonexistent, and I just read your post, does that mean I don't exist?
