I Love This Dirty Town: Blind Items From the Tony's In the spirit of Tony-award winning John Lithgow's 'Sweet Smell of Success' character, J.J. Honeysucker, here's all the news that's unfit to print about last night's Tony Awards: -Those of you at home may have seen Elaine Stritch's heartfelt acceptance speech as she won her first Tony since she she was first nominated in 1956, but may have missed her less than ladylike behavior after she was cut-off by the TV Broadcasters. ‘She kept screaming "Please don't do this to me!" and quoting Noel Coward and thanking everyone she's ever known’, one insider quipped. Wonder what she’ll do the next time she wins…in 2048. -What rising young theatrical light with a penchant for lighting designers was overheard saying at the Into the Woods/Urinetown party, 'I was gonna go to the Oklahoma! party, to chill with the Oklahomos, but decided against it when they lost. I didn’t want to hang out with a bunch of losers.'? -Speaking of losers, what featured actress in the most snubbed musical of the night used to understudy the title role in Andrew Lloyd Weber’s south-of-the-border megahit in the late 70's…and had to go on every Saturday matinee to cover for the regular actress, who would invariably be recovering from the previous night's coke binge? Maybe after tonight she’ll learn to stay out of overcrowded bathrooms. That's it from this humble public servant's notebook. If you've got dirt, send it in and together we'll clean up this great land of ours! God Bless America!
