I find it very hard to be enthusiastic about the Tonys. Sadly Broadway today has become an elitist pastime for which only the wealthy can afford to gamble $100-plus on seeing a show they may or may not enjoy. So much for the poor child who went to the theater, was thrilled and inspired to become an actor, dancer, singer, etc. And while they say Disney has saved Broadway, it has also made it more costly and less artful (spectacle is not art). I feel Disney has corrupted the  Great White Way with their plethora of slick, shiny and empty (and high-priced-ticket) productions. For instance, last night's production number from Aladdin was all glitter and gymnastics, but seemed to have very little to do with the setting for this Arabian tale.  But I'm mostly tired of Broadway musicals because, like so most music today, it has become a loud, cacophonous screaming event. And the musicals, rather than being the inborn original inspirations of lyricists and composers, are manufactured-for-super-profit creations based on supposedly sure-fire hits taken from the movies: Hairspray, Try and Catch Me, Rocky, Billy Liar and whether they admit it or not Buena Sera, Mrs. Campbell (Mama Mia). Fortunately it is still a place to see great drama, including plays that are not  to the taste of every Mid-American tourist. But I'm sure soon they'll be doing non-musical plays based on Caddy Shack or Blazing Saddles.Yes, last night's Tony Awards showed us that Broadway is a gold mine of  talented people, the best of the best. But Broadway itself  is no longer the best of the best. Even the brilliant opening number, in which Hugh Jackman hopped his way into the Radio City Music Hall wasn't original but borrowed from Bobby's Van's astonishing number in the 1953 movie Small Town Girl.
