Guess I'm in the minority, but I loved the Hadestown number - really showed the aesthetic. But, I can understand why a more energetic number might have also been a good/better choice; I'm biased because Wait For Me has been seared in my brain since seeing the show and it was the memorable moment in context.

I enjoyed the BMC spoof because that’s the type of thing James does best. But I’d still like to see it performed by George Salazar."
There's not much further the needle can move for Hadestown's ticket sales currently.

That's the most entertained I've been by Laura Linney in a while. More of that please.

Knowing what we know about Rachel Chavkin and Anais Mitchell, it's not hard for me to imagine that Wait for Me was chosen precisely because it would give Reeve Carney his moment. It also seems to be the moment they've kept in their back pocket throughout all of their televised performances.

I thought so too. Eva was VERY pissed off that Reeve was not nominated, and she did not hide her disdain, nor did others involved in the show. I'm happy he was featured, great performance.

That may be why they gave him this moment. Perhaps?

I mean, he did win a Tony.

Who's the girl sitting with Laurie Metcalf? She's looked so uninterested all evening.

Disappointed for Amber as she has worked on the development of this show for so long. But, I saw her in an interview talking about how she loves what she does, works on what she likes, and just now (after all these years), she has been in a couple commercially important shows (Comet and Hadestown).
I have not seen anything yet as I am on the west coast and we have to wait until 8pm our time. The Oscars and Golden Globes are broadcast live, I think the Emmys too. The Tonys and the Grammys we get tape delayed.

Uh, that Cher Show segment is by far the lamest performance of the night.
