So what good comes when a play wins a Tony award? Winning a Tony award helps the play or the actor to get more work and shows frequently. Plus winning a Tonyaward is not an easy task. Becoming a box office movie is not an easy task but winning a Tony award is twice as harder as that. Plus it nudges for the fundraisers to invest in the next plays that they are directing or acting.

Do you have around 300USD? Then you can buy a ticket and watch the live show at Radio City Music Hall instead of watching on CBShttps://www.cbs.com/ (Colombia Broadcasting System). It’s not a mere awarding ceremony. There will be plenty of glamorous performances that can make you drop your mouth.
