I thought the opening number, hell, the whole show for that matter, was one of the best we have seen in a LONG time.
Jennafan, if you really want to know, this is the sort of thing I've found offensive, and specifically targeted a group you so charmingly call "the gays":

But perhaps I was wrong in thinking you had a similar reaction to the opening number. What did you object to?
Followed fairly immediately by these two remarks on the same thread:
"You people make it seem like this show is a work of art. It's not. It sounds like you ppl want to be bed buddies or something with these two.
PalJoey has got it BAD for Cole. What a sad goal that is."
You must realize those remarks are fairly typical of homophobes ("the gays only think about one thing"). I'm afraid I'm not the only @sshole who had that reaction to your remarks. Maybe you'd like to clarify.

If you liked the performance, great!! But, do NOT call me a homophobe AT ALL you @sshole! What a PRICK you are.
I'll go one step further, Jennafan: You're a self-hating, homophobic, narcissistic coward.
Better?

I hosted a Tony Awards dinner at my house last night, and my friends and I (straight and gay) all enjoyed the opening number -- very much! Neil Patrick Harris did an amazing job last night, and hardly missed a beat! Very entertaining show...

Game, set, match, Reginald Tresilian.
Reginald Tresilian,
You need to take back your comment because I have NEVER made a homophobe remark EVER. I support gays. You have turned it around that because I didn't like a song that talks about straight people liking theatre too that it was a homophobe remark.
REALLY dude?? Come on now...

Seriously? Reg is one of the most beloved posters here at BWW. And you attack him and call him hideous names? Really? I think his comments are coming from things you have said in the past, too.
I recorded the awards and just watched them last night. I have watched the opening number 3 times. I think it was brilliant.
And let us not forget that wonderful thread the OP started to bash me after some nasty pm's. Good times.
