Blah. I know it was never gonna happen, but I had a sliver of hope for Andy upsetting Ben.

I don't know. He's close to aging out of leading man role consideration. Plus, he's now headlined 2 flops so...
I know, I'm being "extra," as the kids say, but that's why I started this thread. Anyway, don't worry, that's all I'm going to say on the matter.

My least favorite group of winners I've ever seen at an awards show.

I cannot believe the theatrical brilliance of Great Comet won just two Tony Awards tonight. So annoyed.

I'm a huge DEH fan and am fine with it winning Best Musical, but Malloy got robbed on orchestration and score

Really scratching my head over orchestrations. Unhappy about Book, Score and Musical most.

GD is not doing particularly well at the box office....may only last through the summer.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

I'm gonna need therapy to digest Great Comet losing Director and Orchestrations.

is it possible everyone just got lazy and voted Dear Evan Hansen and Hello Dolly down the ballot? Certainly how it felt watching the show. Both are great and deserve awards, but I definitely think there were areas other shows performed just as well if it not better. Also a bit irritating it's the two shows that didn't need the assistance of a Tony win to sell tickets. Hoping the great performances give some of the other shows a boost.

I'm really upset that after last year's winners, we truly are back to the Great WHITE Way.

Only a couple of years ago Michael Cerveris won Lead actor in a musical at 55 for Fun Home. Roger Rees was in the same catagory that year at 71. Andy Karl still has several decades in him as a leading man.

Most of my favorites losts...
Was really rooting for Andy Karl. Though Groundhog Day had its many flaws, he was perfection.
Also bummed about Great Comet not picking up a lot of big awards.
But most of all....
Did Bette Middler really need this award? What a pretentious piece of $&!@. Disgusting ego and atitiude. That speech did nothing but further my disdain for her.

Shocked about GC
-I love you Come From Away, but that did NOT deserve Best Direction. Great Comet deserved it 500x more
-Great Comet deserved Best Score more than Dear Evan Hansen, but DEH has gorgeous music.
-Great Comet or Come From Away deserved Orchestrations way more than DEH

Surprised GHD got nothing. I've seen it twice now with plans to go again and I really think it's an enjoyable night of theater. I haven't seen Comet, but even I know they deserved more than they got.

It's a flat out joke that Comet lost Direction. I really liked Come From Away and would have been happy if it won Best Musical, but name me one director currently working who could have pulled off the insane feat that Rachel Chavkin has. No on deserved that award more, and in all honesty I'm furious that she lost.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

I feel for them. I'm going for the 5th time this week, I love it so much. Every time I've brought someone different (bf, mom, coworker, friend) and they all loved it. When we leave the theater everyone around us just raves about it. The cast really puts their all into what looks like a sprinted marathon. The different style of each song, the creativity of the set and broadway magic, along with Andy's performance just captivates me. Love love love.
