THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.

Oh, Raul.

He really did, even with the change in orchestration. I'm so happy they kept the piano. Doyle's face was priceless

That made the whole show for me so far. Absolutely breath-taking. Fingers crossed for his category now...

Er.... what change in orchestration? Unless I'm going deaf, they used the revival's orchestrations.

[misschung]

No I meant the change to Tunick's orchestrations from MMC's that we're used to hearing him perform with.

I still wish they used hers over the Tunick's, but what can you do

He's probably the sexiest man on Broadway right now, but that voice...yikes...

The cast was fantastic today. My parents, sister and friend really loved the show -- which is saying something. I was floored. Hopefully I'll be able to see it again.

My heart was pounding after "Being Alive". It was fierce. The entire performance was amazing.

The audience seemed very receptive and into it, so that's a good sign.

They used Mary-Mitchell Campbell's orchestrations in the performance, misschung. It was rumored that they would use Jonathan Tunick's original orchestrations, which, if you have heard the OBCR, they didn't.

Anyway, I loved it. And people elsewhere on BWW seem to concur, so that's a good sign.

I'm so nervous about the upcoming awards. Updated On: 6/10/07 at 09:54 PM

There was no change in the orchestrations. Mary Mitchell Campbell's orchestrations (i.e. the revival's orchestrations) were what was used in his performance.

Oh sorry, my bad. I was prb so distracted by his voice that I didnt even realize that. I wonder what made them change their mind about that.

Oh I am so thrilled for all of them! The show was great this afternoon!

That performance was fierce!

[misschung]

Posted: 6/10/07 at 10:10pm

Thats annoying that they cut them off during their acceptance speech

[jenna2]

Posted: 6/10/07 at 10:16pm

I'm so excited that the show won!

And super glad the show was great for you this afternoon, jb!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[misschung]

Posted: 6/10/07 at 10:49pm

this wouldnt have been as bad if they didnt show his face when his name wasnt called...

[keen on kean]

Posted: 6/10/07 at 10:50pm

I didn't see Raul's face. I snapped off the TV as soon as I heard "David..." I just don't understand.

oh his face was crushing


major tears

Sorry kids! but we knew it was going to be a tight race this year, and well at least he lost to DHP and not Groff. It still stinks though. At least COMPANY came through with the overall win!

[misschung]

Posted: 6/10/07 at 10:56pm

Is that Michele sitting with him?

[jenna2]

Posted: 6/10/07 at 10:58pm

That sucks. I agree with Tink though, at least it wasn't Groff.

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 6/10/07 at 10:58pm

I seriously cannot believe this. I just can't. I don't except it.

His face just makes me want to burst into tears. THIS SUCKS.

WHAT THE F*CK?!

Yes, that's Michele.
