Boe has never won a tony award, i am removing it from the page, the source is evidently misinformed —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.108.21.176 (talk) 16:10, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Boe and the principals in La Boheme won a Tony Honors for Excellence award in 2003. These non-competitive awards were set up in 1990 by the American Theatre Wing and "are presented to institutions, individuals and/or organizations that have demonstrated extraordinary achievement in theatre, but are not eligible to compete in any of the established Tony Award categories." ^[1] WorldTraveler9 (talk) 10:51, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

incorrect info

Article references Boe's "father's" records as an inspiration. Link is to Richard Tauber, who died in 1948. Alfie Boe was born in 1973. Neat trick, that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TomWilliams1993 (talk • contribs) 02:32, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the writer was trying to say that Alfie Boe's father owned recordings by Richard Tauber. Alfie listened to them as a young boy. 74.71.27.210 (talk) 03:25, 24 October 2011 (UTC)Barbara Bell[reply]

Personal life

The personal life section sticks out as being inserted by a passing editor. Names are misspelled, the information is sketchy ("to start a show"), no links. Needs work.◦◦derekbd ◦◦my talk◦◦ 13:48, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.ksl.com/?sid=22512923&nid=1016&title=alfie-boe-tom-brokaw-to-join-mormon-tabernacle-choir-in-christmas-concerts has some more info, including wife being a native of Salt Lake City and has a house in the city. Samuelsenwd (talk) 18:58, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

typo

The word "talking" is used instead of "taking" in the first paragraph: "... Boe talking on the role...".
