Why is Warren not performing as Tina? This is so confusing. I mean, she’s singing the songs but she’s performing as herself (if that makes sense).

Uh... CBS, the song is called "The Best", not "Simply the Best". 

Warren looks smokin' hot as per usual, especially in that gold outfit she ends Tina in. NY, you only have three more weeks to catch her!

Exactly.

Camera work could have been a little better on the "In Memoriam" segment, but nevertheless, truly outstanding!

Great performance by the cast of Tina!

So Tina just sold a boatload of tickets off a performer who is only doing the role for about 22 more performances-That was a good performance, and now I'm looking forward to being in their first audience back in 2 weeks, for one of the shows I missed before the shutdown

I imagine both Lauren and the show’s publicists strongly pushed against this, unfortunately. That it would backfire with too much hate. She’s getting a lot on Instagram and Twitter already just for winning, nevertheless performing.

It doesn't make it any less sad but it was names from June 2019 till now.

That's incredibly sad that she is getting hatred for winning an award. Disgusting.

Strange they announced Tveit as a winner but didn’t show us him winning? Watching on the East Coast.

Anyway, I like the shot in the theater vibe but it just wouldn’t work for a lot of shows.

That would be incredibly stupid of them. If you show that number on TV you’ll have a lot of people wondering why you’d not want that person to play that role. And it’s by far the best number in the show.

Because she’s not a good actress, and she’s just a pretentious, overrated, entitled ham.

I’d love to see the ticket sales sky rocket after she finally leaves.

Because she is out of f@#*s to give. She’s got her Tony and she is done. She’s doing her victory lap of a few weeks of performances but that’s it.

YAY Chita and ALW. The standing ovation honoring Chita in WSS made me emotional.


AND YAY FOR MOULIN ROUGE!!! 10 Tony Awards!

Wow. I REALLY expected Jagged Little Pill to win.

[EDSOSLO858]

Moulin Rouge! wins Best Mickey Mouse Musical. Hadestown is still the last legit winner for Best Musical in my mind.

Bring on 2022!

Beautiful speech by that producer (I didn't catch her name). A great tribute to all of Broadway.

I love Andrew and Titus, but this number was a choice.

I loved Andrew and Titus together, they sounded wonderful.
