The Most Unusual Tony Award: A Dry Cleaner
And the Tony goes to . . . Ernest Winzer Cleaners? Spot on! The NY Post reports: ‘On June 10, the Bronx dry cleaner that’s kept Broadway freshly pressed for 110 years will receive an award for Excellence in the Theatre. “The cleaners, the ushers . . . they’re as much a part of our world as the superstars we’re lucky to work with,†says longtime producer and Tony committee member Paul Libin, who wrote the letter that snagged Winzer the award. (For the record, he also wrote a letter recommending a special Tony for that other unsung hero — Bruce Springsteen.)’
