Sarah Hepola: Why I love the Tony Awards!

Salon Arts & Entertainment: "Of all the major awards shows, the Tonys may be the most unloved. If the Oscars are the night of a thousand stars, then the Tonys are a mostly dark and windswept night. 'People whose names and faces I didn't recognize from shows I haven't seen' -- that's how writer David Marchese described the experience of being backstage at the Tonys on Salon last year. And for most people, that pretty much sums it up; the Tonys are the broadcast equivalent of someone else's summer camp story. Hosted by Whoopi Goldberg."
