Hugh and NPH did a great job!

Another muting of the sound due to the delay. I wonder how many more are going to get silenced.

Something about NPH & Hugh Jackman arguing who's the top makes me giggle.

Oh, you probably miss Joey Stefano.

Shoot. I'm out of the Tony Meltdown pool already. I guess the voters don't know who Rory O'Malley is either.

They're really wearing sneakers and jeans. At least they're being self-deprecating.

Now I definitely want to see Book of Mormon. Is it safe to bet that the "general rush subject to availability" won't have tickets for awhile? It looks like this show is going to sweep tonight.

Bono comes across as so humorless to me.

And yeah, the NPH/Hugh Jackman duet just made me miss the latter hosting.


Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

I like that Bono and the Edge are acknowledging that they've been the talk of Broadway, and not in a positive way. That "missing a few deadlines" bit was fantastic.

Does anyone else agree that the highlight of the show has been watching NPH and Hugh Jackman arguing over who's the bottom and who's the top?

since when does a show that hasn't even officially opened get to perform?

I'm disappointed they're not performing "Rise Above," but Damiano sounds fantastic tonight.

Interesting choice for Spider-Man. Is it officially a total duet in the show now like this or did they just beef up Reeve's part for the Tonys?

Hugh & NPH were so great 2011 Tony Award Thread

BOOK OF MORMON and SPIDERMAN missed their time to shine by doing the number they did IMO... Do the BIG numbers like H2S and CMIYC did.

I really loved this song but this new version of it is awful. It should not be a duet.
