That opening will be remembered for...wait, it won't.

Couldn’t understand more than half of what she was saying. I also can’t stand the strange voice she does every time she presents. I hope they find a new host for next year.

That was quite possibly the worst Tony opening that I can remember…

No sound design award for this telecast.

That was horrendous

That was probably the worst opening number for the Tonys that I can ever remember. DeBose needs to stop hosting at this point.

DeBose is so messy lolllll

Her delivery is grating. Time for a new host next year.

That opening number was so cringe.

It just wasn’t catchy at all. The opening numbers I remember (early 2010s) were all very catchy.

So far, the third time is not the charm.

Truly bad opening song. And her “heartfelt” delivery of the opening monologue is so false. I don’t ever understand her hype, and how she won an Oscar is completely beyond me.

Yay to the eldest boy! L to the OG!

Seriously...SOMEONE needs to locate the "WHOO WHOO" guy and taze him.

Next year get Ashley Park to host

The opening number is giving if "Hell's Kitchen" and "The Great Gatsby" had a child, but that child was Cabaret.. Not a fan.

Strong thanking the ushers was lovely.

Leslie did not look very happy

She hasn't really done anything since WSS. Certainly nothing that has made headlines.

Leslie has become such a pompous douchebag since Hamilton, and I am very pleased that he lost.

[FLarnhill]

Jeremy was so chill.

I had heard a couple weeks ago that Hell’s Kitchen was performing less with Jay-Z’s cameo. It would seem that plan has changed. Not for nothing would be awkward if they lost Best Musical and then immediately performed.

This performance isn’t landing quite as well as I had thought it would…very clunky medley.

I’m so happy they’ve continued showing performance clips for the nominees!
