Tony Awards Misspell Best Play Winner David Adjmi’s Name in Inscription on Statue

Share

It’s hard to imagine how this could happen, but you know…

The Tony Awards already had a tough time with this year’s show. They didn’t need any more trouble.

And yet, two months after the awards were handed out, Tonys have made a ridiculous error. They sent out the engraved statues to the winners. In the case of playwright David Adjmi, they misspelled his name.

Adjmi wrote “Stereophonic,” the hit show inspired by the making of Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumours” album. The show is terrific, and a big hit.

You’d think that the Tonys could at least get his name right, but they left out the ‘d’ in Adjmi.

You see, you can’t get respect anywhere these days. Adjmi posted a photo of his award to Instagram. I guess it’s a collector’s item. The awards people had better learn that name. Adjmi will definitely be back.
