NOWaWarning said: "I hope Nicole’s Tony win encourages her to continue a career in musical theatre. I’d love to see her in a less avant-garde production of something. I hope she doesn’t leave Broadway behind now that she’s got her Tony."

Like Seven Brides for Seven Brothers perhaps?

(Grabs popcorn)

What was up with Simard's "That was rude" sign? Was that for Patti?

I started crying when Nicole mentioned her Ukrainian heritage. Proud of her and out common ancestry today!"

I didnt know she was of Ukrainian heritage--makes her cavorting with the fascists even more outrageous, huh?

And, no, I wont get over it. I'm not protesting outside the St James, I'm not particularly focused on it, but when discussing this woman, I think its perfectly valid to remind ourselves of who she has freely affiliated with in the past.

Maybe shes changed her ways, maybe shes just kept her views quiet given the community she now wants to be a part of, maybe shes too ignorant to realize who RFK, Russel Brand, and their ilk truly are--fascist apologists at best, but really just horrible horrible people-- or maybe the whole thing was an AI generated hoax. I dont know but I'm not going to stay quiet about the way the worst people in the world are becoming socially acceptable."

"This woman"? That's so misogynistic.

Every time I see the trailer for Kiss of the Spider Woman, I think, can they go back and reshoot the whole thing with Nicole?

Jordan Catalano said: "This performance from Audra is absolutely nothing like how she does it in the show. I’m not saying it’s bad - I mean it’s manic AF but soooooo different."

I saw it last week and it is exactly how she did it.

You’ve been lowkey trying to push anyone other than Nicole for the last few months. Boop or Audra were never going to win. and they didn’t. Get over it."

This literally has nothing to do with anything. I haven't been trying to "push" anything. I've said "there's a chance Nicole still wins" all along. Meanwhile I saw Jordan's post about her being out of the show from yesterday and thought it was earlier today. Legitimately was confused since she said "we killed the matinee today" in her speech, so I was legitimately just clarifying. The only one "pushing" any narrative here is you. Have a blessed day.

Don't ever perform Rose's Turn on the Tonys or you will get snubbed!!!

Well, that was a lovely night. It flowed pretty well even though Cynthia hosted. Was she great? No. Was the opening number great? Hell no. Did she push the show along, yes.

The whole show lacked PAZAZZ and SPECTACLE!! We needed more more more!!! Make the entire show full of spectacle!!!!!

Pretty much everything I cared about winning did... a happy but rare event! The sound designers for the telecast need to be put on the wall, though. Did they get the gig this morning?
