Members crc Posted May 17, 2006 Members Share Posted May 17, 2006 I love the Tony Awards. I might not know many of the nominees or have seen any of the shows, but I always look forward to seeing them performing scenes and numbers from the nominated shows. The Tony Awards are probably the most fun awards show on television. I wonder who's hosting this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
