On the red Carpet he said that he was filming 'Johnny and the Sprites' this summer and then he should be back on broadway very soon.
Any ideas as to what show?

Posted: 6/11/06 at 11:51pmSee what? JOHNNY AND THE SPRITES? It's on The Disney Channel, all the time, isn't it? I've never watched it, but I feel like I see his face a lot on the television.

John was interviewed with Rod on the red carpet.
He was so adorable. What else would you expect.
Rod gave kisses to Roma and Donna Karger. It was really cute.

Posted: 6/12/06 at 12:13amHe's really milking that Rod thing for all it's worth, isn't he?

Posted: 6/12/06 at 12:22amI dunno, it just seemed odd to me that he'd be on the Tonys AGAIN with Rod, despite having left the production quite some time ago.

They asked him to be a presenter. I am sure they wanted him with a puppet. It was very entertaining and actually was one of my favorite moments on the red carpet.
And don't get me started about the RED CARPET.
It would have been nice to see Barrett on the Red Carpet with Rod since he is leaving the show.

Posted: 6/12/06 at 12:32amI kind of have to agree with Quibbler here. I feel like it was kind of a slap in the face to Barett Foa, almost like saying "you're not good as the original actor, so even though he left a while ago, we'll use him." Kinda sad.

It is not that at all. Tags originated the role.
But, I wish they both could be there. It would have been the right thing to do.
Love, Foa! Love Tags.

Posted: 6/12/06 at 12:44amHe was the higlight of the night. And though yes it is sad foa was sorta ignored Tartaglia is known for this role and it was wonderful to see him again as he is a fan favorite.

Posted: 6/12/06 at 12:45amIn regards to Tartaglia coming back to Broadway.. rumor is he may be returning to "Q" in some format.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.

Posted: 6/12/06 at 12:46amI agree, was it necessary to call back Tart when Foa was just as capable?

Tart and Foa together would have been even better.
Foa could have brought Princeton. I love Foa's Princeton and John's Rod.
They are both faboo.
Toodles. My bed calls me.

Well, Johnny was a Tony nominee two years ago. Since they featured many winners and nominees, he was probably higher on their list than Barrett, as much as I love him too.
