Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:29pmMore like 0 Dollar Quartet. Just took another shot.

As someone who loves Fela, I'll still jump on the horrendous performance bandwagon. Whaaaat where they thinking? And what did Saycon believe she was lipsyncing to?
Highlight so far: Kelsey Grammer's wife ROCKING OUT to Green Day.
I also like the Hayes/Chenoweth grotesquerie. Comments, Setoodeh?
And Sean Hayes actually very funny. Looks like highlights won't be from the performances tonight!

"Also is it just me or does the overall energy tonight seem to be down? "
no, it's not just you. it is because there is no Let the Sunshine In with Liza leading it and daisy throwing to get people out of their seats and leave them all smiley.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:30pmmaybe orangeskittles because I'm not having any problems either, which is almost a shame.... I could stand to have missed some of this....

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:30pmSo far I'm not really entertained, it's a really boring show I think.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:32pmi don't know if other regions got the prostate commercial but that on mute was the best part of the evening so far.

All the bitching about Green Day is so silly
Their music is in a new show by them, the Tony's are thinking about the ratings and having Green Day on is a good move, they need to have people like Green Day and the Glee cast on to keep something like the Tony Awards on the air, if ratings stay bad for the Tony's hey could easily pull it, they did here in the UK with the Olivier Awards.
Plus Green Day rocked
Namo i love u but we get it already....you don't like Madonna

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:32pmwow I have actually have no desire to MDQ now.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:33pmI sat through an hour and a half of MDQ with Hunter spitting on me in the beginning and I can't figure out how it was nominated over Sondheim.

Yeah, American Idiot got a performance & then Green Day got TWO more. At least when Poison played last year it was short, sweet, & Bret got cracked by a set piece. ENTERTAINING!
Congrats to Eddie.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:35pmI hate how they don't show the nominees' reaction when the winner is read. I don't wanna see the presenter opening an envelope.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:37pmDouglas is more than making up for it.

I think Scarlet's win was more of a "welcome to the club" kind of thing. Hollywood star braves the Broadway stage and makes good and all that. I saw the show in January and though she did fine but nothing remarkable.
Jan Maxweel gets screwed again.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:38pmYou wouldn't know it but this was once a very moving song.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:38pmLike La Cage, but I'm not sure if this was the best representation from the show. Loved the interaction with Matt Morrison though.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:39pmI agree ljay. Any thoughts of seeing this are now out the window. I usually only see all the non-revivals and pick a few play and musical revivals to see each year, but I don't need to sit through this one.
