I’ve heard from a few folks how special the firefly scene is, and I have to assume that wasn’t how it’s presented in the show because it was sort of nothing. Cute, but not a great showcase for what is ostensibly the frontrunner for Best Musical after its early wins."

It’s the reveal of the orchestra and that bit of music that is truly magical in the theater. It’s very unexpected and there’s a turn table and it’s very wonderful. The song that follows it is meh. They should have had more at the front end to set the scene (and maybe a bit of another song) and then ended it with them catching the firefly and no Never Fly Away.

Good, what a fantastic production. But it rose/fell on Hecht and Irwin, so the snub still stings.

I do not like the order that these awards are presented.  And while we're at it, I wish they'd move Best Score and Best Book back to the main telecast. They can swap with the Best Director awards.

Buena Vista and Death Becomes Her sold some tickets tonight. Sunset has about a month left anyways. Rest of the performances have been dull.

Jordan Catalano said: "These performances tonight highlight something ive said for a long time - they should be filmed in their own theaters with their own sets and then edited and submitted for broadcast. They’re selling a product, why do they constantly offer a “lesser” quality look at what they’re selling?"

Oh no. Scott Rudin?

Please. Make. It. Stop.

No. Would have preferred 2 minutes or so each from BOOP and Smash.

 

Did DeBose do the Hamilton performance or did her ego make her stay home?

Headache inducing.

DeBose was up there with them, yes.  

I enjoyed it 

I have never been a fan of Hamilton. I’ve tried it seeing it twice now, and I just never could understand the obsession with it. Outside of the choreography which was always amazing. It just wasn’t my cup of tea

A Hamilton reunion felt very "Please Watch Us", but I have to admit, that was a really great mashup.

Agreed. 

Where was Ramos? I thought I saw him in the audience earlier so he was there but didnt participate? 

Seems especially unfair to ding DeBose, who is now an Oscar winner in her own right and still showed up to dance in the ensemble with her company.
