My only quibble was with the Spiderman segment. It's definitely going to be cut from my final highlights DVD. Harris was a blast!

Posted: 6/13/11 at 9:59amI'm personally a bit sick of Memphis already, so I could've gone without their performance. Overall I thought it was an amazing show! Best one they've had in a while.

Posted: 6/13/11 at 10:50amHey I'm just happy that the SOUND wasn't it's usual total clusterf*ck. I only had it go silent two short instances on my set last night. For that, I'm totally grateful.

Posted: 6/13/11 at 12:52pmMUCH improved in terms of sound from previous years, as previously mentioned. My only "annoyance" was the iffy mic situation for Sister Act

Posted: 6/13/11 at 12:59pmI enjoyed the cameraman who shot the sequence about The Motherf**ker in front of the theatre with the Light Pole conveniently placed to blot out a portion of the marquee

Posted: 6/13/11 at 1:05pmThough NPH was brilliant, and the performances were great, the direction and camerawork for the performances were sub-par. I would have cut Memphis and Spiderman, and added a little more love for the play revivals.

Posted: 6/13/11 at 1:09pmWhy are we making a complain thread? Isn't there enough negativity and cynicism on this board yet?

Pinoyidol, as far as some posters are concerned there will never be enough negativity on this message board.
I have very few complaints...it was a much smoother show than the previous few years (from a technical standpoint) and the musical numbers -limited by the choices available this season - were at least entertaining to watch (from someone who saw only one of this year's nominated musicals.)
AS said on another thread, I would do away with the lengthy laundry lists of thank yous: always the most boring part of any awards shows, and replace them with clip showcasing the award winning work of the winner.
Overall I found it fun and entertaining.
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com
