The Tony Awards have been told by Radio City Music Hall that the 6,200-seat theatre will not be available for the annual ceremony next year, according to a report in The New York Times.
The news comes a day after Radio City announced plans to move its New York Spectacular from spring to summer, with performances scheduled to begin June 15, 2016, just a week after the Tonys, which are planned for early June.
The Times reported that "barring a last-minute change of heart" by Madison Square Garden Company (MSGC), which manages Radio City, the ceremony will return to the much smaller concert venue, the Beacon Theater, which has less than half the seats, 2,900.
The change would be a disappointment for the Broadway community, which counts on the extra seats, not just for industry people who want to attend Broadway's biggest night, but for fans who were able to buy tickets in the upper balconies at the larger venue. No word on whether any tickets would be sold to the general public for the Beacon.
Well, it's time and I'm now off to rehearsal. Tonight, we're going to run the whole show. We open a week from this Friday, so I think it's all in pretty good shape, for the most part.Until later!

The dance instructor who leads the group classes and the woman who teaches me got into a fight tonight. Not pretty.
DR cillaliz, how many apple trees do you have? Will you plant more?

I don't know what killed the tree and 1/2 the other tree but there were a lot of bugs in the wood, don't know if they came before or after the tree died. Not sure if I'll plant more. I did get permission to pick apples from a tree down the street that is loaded. I got a bag full of them last night.
