OPINION OF THE COURT
Herman Cahn, J.
Comedian Jackie Mason (Mason) demands $75 million in compensatory and punitive damages — plus costs — for defendants’ refusal to categorize his one-man topical comedy "Jackie Mason: Politically Incorrect”, as a "play” eligible for a Tony award in the 1993-1994 Broadway season. Politics aside, Mr. Mason is "Legally Incorrect”. The motion of defendants American Theatre Wing, Inc. (Wing), the League of American Theaters and Producers, Inc. (League), and the Dramatists Guild, Inc. (Guild) to dismiss the complaint or for summary judgment (CPLR 3211) is granted.1
