NY1 BLEW!!!! Sad that the Tonys are so lackluster they dont even warrant national coverage on CBS or E!

They were horrible and seemed so unprepared. Some people should not be put in front of the camera.

Do we know if they plan on streaming the creative awards like they did last year?

Because they are done in the ad breaks it seems unlikely?


"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022) "Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009) "Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

They're streaming them in Times Square so why not on NY1. Ridiculous.

And if you're reading this thread: Being upset about who won or not does not justify starting YET ANOTHER THREAD!!! Hmph!

Score was the one category where I didn't care who won. They were all great scores. Sad that K&E don't get to win one last score award, but at least they were nominated in a strong field.

Not to mention a months old 60 Minutes repeat as the lead-in. Really? No Broadway-themed lead-ins? Nice job, CBS.
