Theatrical sound designers sound off on Tony Awards snub; petition to restore awards launched
NEW YORK, N.Y. – Sound designers are sounding off on getting snubbed by the Tony Awards.
The Tony Awards Administration Committee met and cut the categories of Best Sound Design of a Play and Best Sound Design of a Musical on Wednesday, three days after honouring them.
That didn’t sound good to the theatre professionals who add sound effects and create soundscapes for musicals and plays.
An online petition to get the awards back had drawn 12,000 signatures by Thursday afternoon and the support of such heavy-hitters as director and choreographer Susan Stroman.
