Bitter Losers Tony Thread — Page 4

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.



"Past your bedtime

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.

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.

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."

Well put. In the eleventh hour, I was truly hoping for a Come from Away Best Musical win, so my frustration with their winning Direction by no means reflects any personal dislike for the show. I seriously loved it. But this Chavkin loss...it just doesn't sit right with me at all.

I feel the exact same way! I've gone with completely different people who all LOVE it. The first time I went was during previews, and every single person stagedoored. No egos or hierarchy to it, just real people!

Dave Malloy should have at the very least won for Best Orchestrations and it was heartbreaking to see Rachel Chavkin lose Best Direction.

I truly can't believe she lost. I was thrilled Rebecca Taichman won, but no one deserved a Tony more than Rachel.

So were all these Tony voters asleep when Next to Normal was on Broadway?

I concur with all the above. I'll be going back again this week as well. Actor was the only award I really thought they had chance for and I'm disappointed. Andy truly deserved it in my opinion. And yes, I saw DEH, and still think he gave a better performance than Ben.

I think all the school kids will be going to DEH.

There arent tickets available this summer.

Chavkin was absolutely robbed. Ashley's work, while very good, isn't anywhere near as incredible and innovative as Chavkin's. I truly do think that there was a split between Greif (who didn't deserve it) and Chavkin (who absolutely did deserve it) and Ashley was deemed the winner.

I'm also disappointed to see Malloy not win for his deeply layered score and orchestrations. I also love DEH, but TGC had the more original score.

Also, Hello, Dolly! was extremely disappointing. I love the show and DHP was great, but is that really the song that you want to have represent this show for years to come? Just really disappointing.
