Why do you guys always have only rude things to say about teenagers? Well not all, but most especially blaxx.

So a closed, limited engagement concert (Company) gets to perform, a fiasco that hasn't even opened yet (Spiderman) gets to perform, lasts year's best musical gets to perform with inner city youth (Memphis), Hugh Jackman gets to perform...but the plays don't get any form of showcasing of their work? Really?

Honey, I bitch and moan every year about that. They'll do any an every thing they can do to keep the plays from being properly represented.

I said nothing rude about teenagers, I just said that what is shown to you today is the best you know.

To you it's amazing, to me it's mediocre (at best), yeah?

They really need to split the Best Play category into Best PRODUCTION of a play and Best Script of a play. There would be 2 different winners this season.

Good People. I would have given it to any of the other nominees (hell, even Bengal Tiger) over War Horse. It is a brilliant production (and the original book is amazing) but the script is not strong.

Patti LuPone would have been singing during the entire song. That is all.

When did Reeno Sweeney become a dancer's role? That was like Ann Miller Lite.
