Desire Deserves a Tony Nom!

The Pulitzers love us, but the Tonys apparently hate us. The Goodman rushed its recent revival of Eugene O’Neil’s Desire Under the Elms to Broadway, with days to spare for Tony consideration, only to receive NO Tony nominations. What is this madness, American Theatre Wing? Did you not see the house land on the stage? Did you not weep at Carla Gugino’s mesmerizing performance? Did you not witness Robert Falls breathtaking direction? Why no love?

If you’re an enraged Chicago theatergoer, please revolt with us.
