Happy Monday.
My feet hurt. I could use a few more hours of sleep. But all worth it.
I'll be interested to watch the recording of last night, to see how things played on TV, versus in RCMH. Overall, it was a nice night. Not the best Tony Awards production I've ever seen, but I enjoyed that the awards went to a variety of shows.
As always, I think they could have cut a few things to make room for some of the really important Tony's that were given before 8pm, so not seen live. But, I know the producers also have to play to the larger TV audience...
Audra. How amazing was that?
Happy travels, YWIW.
Happy Monday to all.
I only got to see the first hour and then switched to GOT. Will youtube the rest of the performances later. But I have never been so blind going into a Tony season. The only things I knew about any shows were what you guys talked about here. I'm so bad. Need to see a show ASAP!!
Some of you have met/know my friend that works at a Broadway company. Here's one of his Tweets from last night. Cracked me up.

I actually saw his "straight" brother posting about the Tonys LOL
Yeah, he put out a couple postings. They always watch together.

This one tickled me, too.

My cousin just texted me. "Sorry I didn't call you back yesterday. Busy all day, then I figured you were watching Tony."
LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!

We took the girls and the boyfriends to Les Miz. The boys enjoyed it, even the freak kept his anxiety in check - great night! The BF's are now baptized into the family!
Crappy Monday indeed! Spent a few hours at a predator towing shop. They tried to extort $600 to get my car!

Was Jennifer Holiday included? I have watched that Dreamgirls performance dozens of times!
brd, JH sang it at a BWW function. Afterwards we got to meet her at the after party. She was so sweet. I still have the picture she took with me.
She was #1

That is awesome BB! I did record the Tony's - doubt time tonight.
It will never be ok to me that Book and Score are not given out on the telecast. 1. The awards ARE awards that the people actually watching the show care about and 2. It is the freaking backbone of the musical theater. Grumble.
Also, what was up with all the half produced song bits?
I understand that some technical awards are cut (and in this case I understand why they cut the In Memorandum because while it totally should have been on the show, they need to produce that better)
but still- the stuff they DID include was not well done (except the better songs from the better shows)
I recently watched the 1971 and 1984 shows with the tributes to the past and to the composers, THAT is what they need to bring to the show soon. It's the thing the Oscars do, and sometimes succeed at doing, sometimes fail, but at least they understand their own history.
Evening Adults. Arrived in CR. I have a feeling this may be a bitchy YWIW week - I either need to be medicated or hypnotized in order to get my "Go Team" face on. Too much travel does not do YWIW good.
I didn't see the Tomys at all this year. It was Monday morning and guess who forgot to record?!

Hi all figured I would check in. I must say I really miss watching the Tony Awards with Mominator. She was a HUGE Carol King fan and I know she would have been in line to see Beautiful.
Morning peeps! sp78, I agree. They need to bring back ways of the past for these Tonys. I don't get them concerning the upcoming season especially when the Tonys always run over their time slot. To leave out for the home viewers "In Memoriam" was a disgrace.
bgg, it's good to see you on here. We all miss Mom. She's always a part of BWW and the adult thread.
^^^^^^^
What Boobs said.
Hello from lovely CR. Off to meetings in a bit.
Have a great Tuesday Adults!
Enjoy your day YOU XOXOXO

Smart! BGG! Hep! I miss you all!
Back to reality today. The clouds and fog aren't helping. I hate getting slammed with all these voice mail and email messages. ACK! I want to be back in NYC.
Where, apparently, my car keys are enjoying a holiday. 'Nuff said.
So went one item light, replaced that, and left one item less. Silly!
Morning! Hello to all the old (young) faces!!
So HOOOOWWW bad is it to just not show up during your 2 weeks notice? These people are getting on my last nerve lol.
OMG, Moony! Between your phones and keys!! LOL!!
Hallo, folksies.

Oh, dear cousin, I can't even comment. No, really, I can't. It just took five tries to get this to post.
Is it 3:30 yet? I so need this mini vacation. Apparently, it's going to rain in Pittsburgh the rest of the week and I don't even care as long as cocktails are involved.
