So is Ramin choosing to do this instead of Chess later this year. Well to each his own and gives Nic a great opportunity but watching that I too was baffled why they didn't choose Modern Major General or even I am a Pirate King. Just bizarre."

Pirates closes in July. I dont see how or why it would prevent Ramin from doing CHESS, if he wanted to/was offered.

First award I disagree with.

Really enjoyed “Purpose”, and it was my least favorite of the nominees. That’s how strong the year was.

Meh. I thought Pirates looked silly but fun. I'd go if I saw it on tdf.

Biggest heartache of the night for me. Was rooting so hard for John Proctor or English.

It’s genuinely a shame Oh, Mary! didn’t win. Purpose is not a very good play; it’s not even Brandon Jacobs-Jenkins’ best. Cole Escola deserved it.

Loving Cynthia hosting. She presents as very level-headed and "cool". I had honestly been afraid she would come off a bit too self-important (akin to her disconnected demeanor in some of Wicked's less-than-good interviews). She knows what's funny and appropriate and is delivering it straight down the barrel of the camera (lol). Prefer it to some of the more recent years where Ariana, at times, felt like she was overperforming.

Brandon Jacob Jenkin's Best Play big miles is An Octoroon and he has never come close to that since!

I knew they wouldn’t have the balls to give Best Play to Oh, Mary.

oh youve got to be kidding me. how insulting to a pulitzer winning work--which was not my favorite but was certainly worthy, you ugly racist.

Thrilled that we're finally giving Tony awards to one of America's greatest living playwrights, even if it's for his worst play.

I loved maybe happy ending.

DEI could also mean the entire LGBT community. Y'know, the most represented group in theatre?

That's "casual"?  I guess BOM is skipping his KKK meeting to watch the Tonys!

In this context it obviously doesn't...

How did MHE win the best score? This song was a bit... dreadful
