Crazy Monday! (Don't they know I'm tired today, and don't feel like working so hard?!

)
So, I've been reading the threads on the Main Board. It sounds like the broadcast was filled with technical problems! That's such a shame, because the Live show was really fantastic. Great energy and it sounded fine. The thing I noticed during the performances - when they had what was being broadcast on the large screens in the theatre - was that they focused the cameras too closely. Instead of providing shots of the full stage, with all of the activity, they zoomed in on individuals. I think that lost some of the overall energy. Seeing the entire performance, the way it was planned, and, of course, hearing it clearly, made a huge difference.
I was so disappointed in the "Billy Elliot" selection and staging. It was the wrong number to perform, and they changed the choreography, so there was just no emotion. Out of context the scene doesn't work, and that staging made it worse.
We had a really amazing time. Lots of good close-up star encounters. Including Liza practically pushing Moony out of the way as she left the theatre to get into her car, and Angela bumping me in the back with her Tony as we shuffled up the aisle after the show. I kept feeling something 'metal' tap me in the back as we shuffled, and I looked back to realize Angela was right behind me, engrossed in conversation with someone, and not realizing that her Tony was tilted forward - right into my back!
Saw Gregory Jbara at the after-party, and was able to speak with him for a moment to congratulate him.
Mostly Moony and I sipped our champagne and acted like we were hosting the red carpet event with comments about all of the outfits!
I'll think of lots of other tidbits to share... but am too tired at the moment to remember!
I recorded the broadcast, so will watch when I get home tonight.
