[edit] Definition of "Season" needed

It would help if the article defined "season" as used in connection with the Tonys. The season begins and ends when?

• • According to the Tony website: "Legitimate theatrical productions may be eligible for Tony Awards if they officially open on or before the cut-off date established by the Tony Awards Administration Committee (in 2006, that date is May 10) in an eligible Broadway theatre and comply with all the rules and regulations that govern the Tony Awards for the season." I'm unsure what the requirements are for quoting outside material, so I'll leave to a more proficient editor to insert this into the article. --MichaelCaricofe 22:22, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

I just noticed this comment, and it certainly is a valid point! I attempted to add some material on this "season" question (without copyright violation). Hopefully the addition (as well as some other interesting --to me--adminitrative details) will make this article useful and encyclopedic. JeanColumbia 19:52, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Antoinette Perry

Hello.The Tony awards should have a huge area to rember the person who gave us this name:Antonette Perry.You what to?

It's already done. Antoinette Perry--MichaelCaricofe 22:11, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] heading 1.1 --> heading 1

If no one minds, I removed the heading 'Origin of the name "Tony," rules, and current categories' and broke it into the 1.1 headings that were there before. I think the origin of the name is fairly obvious, as it states the former name in the introduction. However, if someone can put some more info about Antoinette Perry into this article, that would be nice, and we can have the old heading back! — riana_dzasta • t • c • e • 15:17, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2006 Tonys

User:Bib added a template on 6 January 2006 requesting the 2006 items be moved to a separate page. I would agree with this thought. The Tony Award article should discuss the background and general information about the Tony Awards and individual season information should be created in an individual article. Also, this topic needs a good template to link articles together in addition to the Tony Awards Category. Unfortunately, I don't have time to do this right now but concur with idea of separating the section (I'd also rework the section immediately prior to list all categories given and the years in which they were awarded rather than focus only on 2006). Theflyer 04:19, 17 January 2007 (UTC) I support this move, however, I don't have the time to do the move myself. Yet I am available for help.Martijn Hoekstra 01:29, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
