Sorry to say that there is no actual THE 2010 TONY AWARDS: ABRIDGED because by the time you are reading this, I will be in abroad on my Honeymoon. So never mind abridging, I won't even be seeing this year's Tony Awards broadcast. Will I feel like I've missed anything? Does a 2010 Tony-nominated musical have wings?
THE 2010 TONY AWARDS ABRIDGED
AS WRITTEN BY SOMEBODY WHO SKIPPED
THE 2010 TONY AWARDS
A "Broadway Pre-Abridged" Script
By Gil Varod
SCENE: MUSICAL BLENDER #2.
We probably see a whole bunch of this
year's "musicals" do 12-second numbers,
so we can make sure that all of them
look terrible out of context. Then,
god help us:
SEAN HAYES
Hi everybody, you know me as the guy who played the gay guy
in that TV show that you're the entire target audience of.
BUT I CAN PLAY STRAIGHT PEOPLE TOO!
KRISTIN CHENOWETH
AND EVERYBODY CAN GO TO HELL!
SOME WEIRDLY CHOSEN
PRESENTER
And the award for best play goes to... A BUNCH OF PEOPLE
SITTING AROUND AND TALKING!
PRODUCERS OF, WELL,
WHO CARES
We'd like to thank WHY DO WE GET TO SAY THANK YOU SPEECHES?
HALF-FAMOUS PRESENTER
And now for the award for best score. And it goes to... IT'S
A TIE! Best score is shared by ENRON and FENCES!
PEOPLE WHO WROTE THE SCORES
FOR ENRON AND FENCES
What? You say this is improbable? Then why are we nominated
IN REAL LIFE? Because a nomination is a vote for someone
being win-worthy, isn't it? That's what DICTIONARIES say!
GREEN DAY
Hi, we're here to pretend that American Idiot was supposed to
be a musical with zero book all along! Ahem hem!
GUY WHO WAS ONCE ON BROADWAY
FOR A HOT SECOND BEFORE HE
WAS FAMOUS PRESENTING WITH A
WOMAN ONLY FAG HAGS LIKE
And the award for best revival is obviously La Cage.
LA CAGE PRODUCERS
(accepting award)
And now it's going to be okay to produce Guys And Dolls every
three years until rights become free!
NATHAN LANE
I am not nominated this year for carrying a small universe on
my back, but I'll likely present anyway because I'm a GOD
DAMNED GENTLEMAN. Here's a number from my show.
That happens.
MEMPHIS
You all hated me, now rally around me!
That happens.
Yawn.
SEAN HAYES
HAVE I MENTIONED YET HOW MUCH I LIKE ACTING STRAIGHT? Now to
present the award for best musical, here's Christopher Walken
and the robot from WALL-E for some reason.
CHRISTOPHER WALKEN
And the award for best musical goes to...
(opens envelope)
Nobody.
Nobody wins for best musical, because as much as people for
decades have said that "this year Broadway wasn't as good as
past years", this year, it was REALLY TRUE.
Boy, seems like a particularly good year to miss the Tonys
because of a honeymoon, doesn't it.
BLACKOUT.
