Posted: 6/12/11 at 10:57pmDid Norbert Leo Butz fail to thank his co-stars Aaron Tveit and Tom Wopat, or did I miss it?

So nice to see Norbert STEAL it! But pretty disgusting to find out that Chris Rock will be revealing the big one. The homophobe-supporter, giving the award for Best Musical? Considering the majority of those musicals would not have ever been written without the work of LGBT artists, I find it pretty disgraceful. Shame on you, Tony's.
Oh, well. It's always worth it for a Mark Rylance acceptance speech.
But sad for Mantello, who was equally as deserving!

Closing moments written by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
LOL That was a joke but then I saw on the credits that they WERE.

Sutton Foster has 2 Tonys and Barbra Streisand and Julie Andrews have none, and Ethel Merman only has one.
Timber.
Do you know what happens when you let Veal Prince Orloff sit in an oven too long?

I want someone to get into Joseph Smith's Wikipedia page and include Tony Award for BOM.
Okay, channeling Lin Manuel Miranda here?

Posted: 6/12/11 at 11:08pmWell if Barbra or Julie want Tony awards they need to do theater. What a stupid argument.

So Memphis go to perform after they won last year yet this year we can't get an additional performance from Book of Mormon. 
Can we start a petition for Hugh Jackman to host next year. Please, no more NPH.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Well, actually Merman had 2 Tonys. She won for CALL ME MADAM, and was given a Lifetime Achievement Tony in 1972. She was nominated a total of 3 times (also for HAPPY HUNTING and GYPSY)
Streisand was nominated for I CAN GET IT FOR YOU WHOLESALE and FUNNY GIRL but did not win. She was given a special award in 1970.
Andrews was nominated 3 times: MY FAIR LADY, CAMELOT, and VICTOR/VICTORIA and did not win any of those times.

"So when BOM wins in a minute, will they be the new record holder for most Tonys ever?"
No, The Producers won 12 awards.

Hugh's sexier. NPH's smarter. NPH got producing credit tonight. Maybe NPH did a lot of work off camera. Who knows?

Hugh Jackman AND Neil Patrick Harris to co-host!
( and then we do an "All About Eve" theme as each one trys to supplant the other w mayhem and scandal)
Seriously, I think Norbert is one of the finest performers out there but the speech sounded just a tech sanctimonious. I expect better of him ( well at least all his perfomances have been brilliant whether or not his show is)

Posted: 6/12/11 at 11:19pmI'm glad I tuned back in to see Norbert Leo Butz's and Larry Kramer's immensely touching speeches. I just needed a break, especially after Nikki M. James went into hysterics.
