    The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy when the author mentions that Danya Taymor's work on The Outsiders was instrumental in bringing it to Broadway as a producer and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt serves as a producer's assistant. This implies that their involvement lends credibility to the success of the show, but it does not necessarily mean that their contributions directly caused the win.
    • The Outsiders director Danya Taymor took home the award for Best Direction of a Musical. Vivienne Jolie-Pitt was instrumental in bringing The Outsiders to Broadway as a producer, while her 15-year-old daughter serves as a producer's assistant on the show.

    The author, Caitlin Huston, provides a detailed and informative recount of the 77th Annual Tony Awards. There are no dichotomous depictions or appeals to authority. Inflammatory rhetoric is also absent. However, there are a few instances of formal fallacies: the best musical race being described as one of the closest categories and Stereophonic being referred to as having had the chance to win 13 possible Tony Awards, which may mislead readers into thinking it won 13 awards if it hadn't. Additionally, there is an example of a fallacy by omission when mentioning that Jonathan Groff's Merrily We Roll Along had initially been a flop when it first came to Broadway in 1981, without clarifying that its revival was the version that won the Tony. Lastly, there is an example of an appeal to authority with the presentation of the Special Tony Award for lifetime achievement to George C. Wolfe due to his numerous accolades and contributions to theater.
    • The best musical race had been one of the closest categories heading into Sunday’s ceremony, [...] amid other contenders including Water for Elephants, Illinoise and Suffs.
