SilverShadow June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 (edited) That's my girl! I was a little worried cause Idina's traditionally not done her best work on award shows, but she killed it tonight. So happy for her. Edited June 9, 2014 by SilverShadow Link to comment

ABay June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 Did Clint just say Hedwig and the Angry Itch? Because that must become a show immediately. 1 Link to comment
ebk57 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 Oh, God. Please tell my Clint Eastwood is intentionally trying to be a hot mess. He is really showing every year his age. Link to comment
aradia22 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 I totes want to see Jersey Boys though. Never saw the musical and I want to see John Lloyd Young. Link to comment
ebk57 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 Someone needs to do a show about Darko's mom! I would definitely go see that! Link to comment
aradia22 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 (edited) Aw, guys. I know people don't like your score but it's sad that you had to open with Eye of the Tiger. Oh, so they didn't include like any of the original score, did they? Edited June 9, 2014 by aradia22 Link to comment
Luvzmutt June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 Saw If/Then in DC. Not all that good. But she's killing it with this song tonight. Saw If/Then in April on Broadway. Definitely not my favorite show. The reviews weren't great either. I took my daughter with me. We are big fans of Wicked. I never saw the original cast. I think in Idina was not if If/Then, I would have skipped it. Link to comment
aradia22 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 I love Zachary and Fran but WTF just happened there? Yay for James Monroe though. Link to comment

aradia22 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 Best end of the speech ever? Because they are trying to get people to go see it... Oh my God, lady. I love you. You know you have to come see me when you visit the city, right? Link to comment
ebk57 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 I'm sad that Danny Burstein didn't win. Best end of the speech ever? Oh my God, lady. I love you. You know you have to come see me when you visit the city, right? Yes!! We will definitely have to go for a cocktail or two!! 1 Link to comment
aradia22 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 So they didn't let Michelle Williams sing at all. Because they are trying to get people to go see it... See what I did there? 1 Link to comment

aradia22 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 I was thinking it would go to CKB. Nothing against Sophie. I haven't seen either show. Because you know, not going to pay for a play. Link to comment

I'm a musicals girl myself, although I do love me some good drama. Got to meet Jefferson Mays at the theatre where I worked when he was doing I Am My Own Wife. He's an incredible talent and a nice person. Link to comment
aradia22 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 This operetta style is why I didn't want to see Gentleman's Guide when it first came out. But the good reviews have been overwhelming. Link to comment
ABay June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 (edited) So this Gentleman's Guide is a musical version of Kind Hearts and Coronets. I'm sure the guy's a fine actor but no one out Guinesses Alec. Edited June 9, 2014 by ABay Link to comment
ebk57 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 I'm still not sure about Gentleman's Guide. I think I'd see it before I'd see Once, but ... I'm still not convinced. 1 Link to comment

jjj June 9, 2014 Author Share June 9, 2014 Still waiting on the West Coast -- has the "Cabaret" scene already happened? Want to get home in time for it, even though it set to record. Link to comment
aradia22 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 I'm still not sure about Gentleman's Guide. I think I'd see it before I'd see Once, but ... I'm still not convinced. Dying of laughter. Yeah, still no desire to see Once. The Tony performance made my ears bleed. jjj: Yeah. They did Willkommen like they always do. WTF? Sutton has a new show? I didn't hear anything about it during the upfronts... Oh, it's on TVland. Oh. Oh, Sutton. Oh, damn it I think I'm going to have to watch this. "Younger", huh? Well, I guess it's better than Cougartown. The things I do for Broadway actors. I watched The Playboy Club for Laura Benanti. Link to comment
ebk57 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 Still waiting on the West Coast -- has the "Cabaret" scene already happened? Want to get home in time for it, even though it set to record. Happened right around 9pm. Someone on BroadwayWorld said it was so anyone tuning in for Good Wife wouldn't turn the channel... Link to comment

aradia22 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 I worship this woman. Saw her in Twelfth Night. I took a picture with her without the flash and then ran down the line and she was so sweet about taking the photo again. Will was there waiting for her. Link to comment

ebk57 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 Act One has gotten very weak reviews, particularly for the book. Have to say I was surprised it was nominated after reading the reviews and hearing what some people said. I'm pulling for Harvey...just because. Link to comment
aradia22 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 So... no female playwrights. I wanted to go see Outside Mullingar but I couldn't justify the price. Started bouncing in my chair to Razzle Dazzle. Link to comment
ebk57 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 So... no female playwrights. I wanted to go see Outside Mullingar but I couldn't justify the price. Started bouncing in my chair to Razzle Dazzle. My first Broadway show. With Gwen, Chita and Jerry. 1 Link to comment
aradia22 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 Violet sounds so good. And I really want to try and see it soon. But it annoys me that she doesn't actually have a scar. Wait... I swear one of the women in the chorus for Violet was my choir teacher in college. OMG, my friend just posted on facebook. It was my choir teacher. Woot, JRB shout out to women in theatre. Oh, Lord. Bored out of my mind. This is doing the opposite of selling The Last Ship to me. 3 Link to comment
ebk57 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 NYT: If gospel music hadn't been invented, the Tony broadcast would be 35 minutes long. Ha! And Sting... a nice guy. Don't know if I want to see this show, though Raisin - wow. That's a surprise. Link to comment
aradia22 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 (edited) WTF, I didn't think they'd seriously do a Wicked performance again. I wish Lindsay was still doing it so she could have done the Tony performance. Also, Alli Mauzey. Edited June 9, 2014 by aradia22 Link to comment

aradia22 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 They clearly love NPH. They didn't start playing the music until he was almost done. Look, Jessie is adorable and she has the Seth Rudetsky stamp of approval but she doesn't sound a damn thing like Carole King. Link to comment

And the Carole King singing cameo was the worst kept secret of the night. I loved it Link to comment
argrow June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 The performance makes me wanna listen to Tapestry, not see this musical. 2 Link to comment
ebk57 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 The performance makes me wanna listen to Tapestry, not see this musical. I think that's part of what they're going for. You're looking for a show to see. You don't recognize a lot of stuff. Then you see "Carole King" and you think - familiar! I was initially not interested, but I've read really good things about the show. At this point, I won't go out of my way to get there, but I wouldn't say no if someone suggested it. Link to comment
aradia22 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 I mean, have fun, it's Tony night but WTF is Kate Mara wearing? And why are she and Kevin Bacon even there? Link to comment

aradia22 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 Did that make anyone want to see Bullets over Broadway? I was expecting some showgirls. Though I kind of get all the Nick Cordero love now. Very solid job. I have heard one audience rave over Bullets but the rest of the word of mouth has been underwhelming. Link to comment

I have heard one audience rave over Bullets but the rest of the word of mouth has been underwhelming. No, unfortunately. I love the music (although I think they might have done better with an original score). The number was fine and Nick Cordero was stunning. And I like Zach Braff. But... not enough for me to shell out the bucks. Link to comment
aradia22 June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 Oh, what the hell? Poor Kelli O'Hara. This was her year. Sutton already won. Idina already won. Janis Joplin had no shot. Link to comment
