Confused why Amber, Patrick, etc are in full costume if all they're doing is Wait For Me. I can't wait to see what Rachel's cooked up!

I just had a thought that the song for In Memoriam should be Back to Before, but I doubt it, based on the usual reluctance to favor one figure.

Why did the Oklahoma! cast seem so angry?

These production values seem leagues ahead of other years! Turntables and elevator lifts, light-o-graphy? Love it

It corresponds with the whole theme of their version of the show, which I can’t really explain without spoiling, but I thought it was quite fitting

I had read about this Oklahoma being different, but I didn't realize it was also in modern dress. It was one of the better performances last night.

I missed the Cher Show one. I missed the first 10 or 15 minutes of the show, & then since it wasn't being broadcast live on the west coast, I read online the winners & went to bed early. I turned off part way through Some Like It Hot, which is sad that I was bored by one of the greatest theatre songs of all time.

I'm happy now that I bought tickets for Hadestown for December already. I remember seeing Andre de Shields at the Public in 2014 & being surprised that he wasn't a bigger star already.

Tootsie - looks silly, but average. If I had waited to see the Tonys before buying tickets I don't think I would have spent $200 though.

Beetlejuice looked annoying & bad. Not funny.

I'll wait for Ain't To Proud until it eventually ends up playing one of the showrooms for years & years in Vegas. Donnie & Marie are leaving the Flamingo, so that'll need something to compete with Cindy Williams' Menopause musical at Harrah's.

The Prom was both good & bad. Great choreo, but bad song choice - really bad techno style music. I am curious if that was the regular cast or if they brought in extra dancers? On the ride side of the TV screen was someone who looked a bit like Kevin Csolak who was in Mean Girls last year. His website says he is currently in LA prepping as a Jet in Spielberg's West Side Story remake, but he did do the out of town for The Prom. Would they have brought in extra dancers for a TV peeformance? It was really quick, so maybe it was just someone who looked similar.
