I think all the non-performance awards are considered "technical".
Basically all the awards NOT aired.

Re the lip-synching, I could have sworn Vanessa Hudgens was doing so. I've seen her "Champagne" number only once (mercifully), so I'd have to re-check to make sure. Did anyone else form that opinion?

But it was a BIG WIN for the American Musical Theater and its future!
On what merits??? Considering last night was such a bore, I strongly dispute that.

No, didn't feel that way -- I felt she got herself way ahead of the music, which was already racing.
(I was glad to see someone else questioned the tapping.....I thought a little sounded off.)

Re-watch it. Vanessa was definitely not lip-synching. You can hear the consistency between her ad-libbing (and laughter) with her actual singing. That's usually a good sign of an authentic live performance. You cannot "fake" that kind of stuff.

We do not want the Tonys as a comedy special
No let it turn into a torture fest like the Oscars.
I cannot believe someone upset over the sidecar in ISHBY after reading this thread.

They should ALL be aired in my opinion... but I still can't believe they don't at least air choreography. That could be a huge selling point for a show.

Yes, I want them all aired as well.....but I don't see how seeing the choreo award would make a difference at the box office.
You get to SEE the choreography in the performances.

The average theatre-goer, I guess. They kept touting the high grosses last night. This is due to the outrageous prices charged and isn't all attendance. I only see the prices going up.
Fun Home prices went up last night.

The "tapping" was obviously recorded because someone hit the "play" button during Ruthie's speech. How rude.

I swear I thought that was a bunch of chorus boys who were going to dance her off the stage for taking too much time.
Posted: 6/8/15 at 11:35am
"Oh we're the boys of the chorus, we hope you liked our show, we know you're rooting for us, but now it's time to go."
She's such a pro she made it extra hilarious.

""THE VISIT will pot a closing notice on Monday. AAIP will do just fine for a while."
I doubt they'll post a notice today. Maybe tomorrow. But not today. "
Well... so much for that.
