Yeah its going to be holding Audra's four Tony awards while she waltzes onstage to accept her fifth!

I PRAY that Audra wears her Tonys like necklaces to the ceremony that night.

lmao Jordan ^^^^ and then when Audra wins her fifth she can ask Jan to hook it to her Tony necklace

If Audra wins that Sunday, something tells me Aunt Jan is going to be picking her kids off the bus on Monday and throwing them in the back of her van. It's the same van that hit her back in October; she bought it.

Don't put the babies in the bag, Jan!

What designer did she go with for her bag this year? I hope it's real and not some street corner knock off. The stitching always falls apart on those and she ends up spilling Tony Awards everywhere.

Considering Roger was my first choice to win but was not even nominated, I am rooting for maxwell

I hope Lansbury and Julie Harris present Audra with her fifth award.

Then they can all stand on stage together as members of the elite "five alive"' club.

Then they'll all make out like Madonna and Britney did.

Well, if that doesn't make you support gay marriage, what will?

I have wet dreams about Angela Lansbury and Julie Harris making out in their pool of Tony Awards

I thought I was having the same wet dream, until I woke up and was just lying in a puddle of my own frightened tears.

If Jan doesn't win, Audra McDonald, Angela Lansbury, and Julie Harris are the only ones getting thrown in the back of her van. Forget the lousy kids! This could be a new thing, Jan's Van...

Yeah, and Raul'll be sitting shotgun luring the kids in with ice cream and candy... well, if he doesn't eat them all first!

I'm late to the party, could someone explain to me the conceit of Jan Maxwell's bag? Thank you.

I heard that bag is already full...

Jan Maxwell was saddled with hideous choreography. That's enough for me to want Audra to win.

I hope she gets her Tony engraved with something like "Suck it, Bernie!"

Jan Maxwell is a professional. She will probably thank Bernadette in her speech.

Thank Bernadette for sucking so bad that all the FOLLIES votes will go to her!

If only Bernadette was driving that van a little faster...

Jan's Bag - 2012 Edition
Posted by nasty_khakis 2012-05-01 19:24:10

There is no way Bernie was driving that van! Everybody knows Bernie arrives at the theater at 7am on show days. She has to feel the space and warm up for hours so she can not hit those soprano notes.

(ftr, that's a joke out of love. J'adore Bernadette but I WORSHIP Jan)

Let's just move the ceremony from the Beacon to Jan's bag.

Henrik, the year Jan was nominated for more than one Tony, everyone said she "had it in the bag". She didn't win, and the next year she was nominated again, people started joking about putting the Tony in her bag.

You're missing the best part of that story. The original thread had an unfortunate typo in the title- it asked, "Does Jan Maxwell already have the Tony in HER bag?" (emphasis mine)

The use of her instead of the is what prompted the joking to begin, and a legendary phrase to be coined.

And now here we are in 2012, and we've got Jan Maxwell driving around in a van with Tonys in her bag.

From the way she comes off in interviews, Maxwell seems to have a wicked sense of humor. I bet she'd find these threads about bags and vans quite amusing.

I think "Jan's Van" would make a great talk show. She picks someone up on the corner of 45th and Broadway, drives them around asking them questions, then unceremoniously pushes them out on the sidewalk on 12th Avenue.

So it would be like Cash Cab, but for gay people.

Adamgreer, I actually didn't know that, which might be why I left it out

Yeah, but the only prize is being abused by a 4-time Tony loser.

They might get sued by the discovery channel because they already had that episode when Seth Rudetsky was on it...

Thanks for the explanations, Adam and Bwaylvsong. It's starting to make some sense now.

Does Jan know about this running joke?
