Thomas got game
by Joshua Kosman
Never mind aspiring to join the pantheon of notable conductors. Michael Tilson Thomas is about to be ushered into the even more hallowed ranks of the top hat, the thimble and the Scottish terrier.
A new edition of Miami Monopoly, scheduled for release today, includes a 1 1/4-inch-high pewter figure of Thomas - who conducts the New World Symphony in Miami Beach - as one of the game tokens. Evidently the original design gave him a baton, but that part kept breaking off during the race toward Boardwalk - or, as it’s called in this edition, Ocean Drive.
