Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:07pmI don't hate, but I don't love the opening so far. Too slow, in my opinion.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:08pmWhat the hell was up with Felas performance, did anyone experience the out of sync of her voice?

Worst lip-syncing ever. You'd think Broadway performers would perform live. Sheesh.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:09pmIt sounded like a dying cat.
I'm a professional. Whenever something goes wrong on stage, I know how to handle it so no one ever remembers. I flash my %#$&.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:11pmI think all the dogs and cats in the tri-state radius went hiding under beds when that Fela chick did that freaking screech.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:11pmI'm not interested in American Idiot at all, but I have to say Green Day made this better. I love Holiday though, so I might just be biased to the song.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:11pm"MY HEROESSSS GREENDAY". urhhh don't wet yourself.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Yeah, those are certainly Nazi-esque.
Way to be out of sync Fela. Oh, and why does Green Day get a prime spot in the opening?

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:12pmHaving Green Day perform disgusts me. Let the cast have more stage time. It may be there music, but that doesn't mean they should perform it. This has turned into Green Day Live from NYC.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:12pmYou guys can bitch all you want, but this may very well get the best ratings of any first-half-hour of a Tony Awards show ever.

Was that Betty White I saw clapping to "Know Your Enemy"?
Oh christ, the clapping is getting out of synch more than the Fela! performance.

Wow Fela! I didn't hate the show when I saw it but that performance was something else. Also I get they're using Green Day to drag in viewers but two songs?
This opening was way too slow.
#124The Official 2010 Tony Awards Discussion Thread
Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:13pmdoesn't the audience look so into it during Green Day Live At Radio City? Nathan Lane looked like he was loving it. Idina at the end of was priceless.
