Bitter about tony winners

Last night after the tony awards I was pretty bitter about what won for certain shows here is my opinion.

best feaured actor in a musical : Gavin creele , who should've won : Lucas steele

Best featured actress in a musical : Rachel bay jones , who should've won : Stephanie j block

Coreography : bandstand , what should've won : great comet

best orchestrations : dear evan hansen , what should've won : great comet

best lighting design in a musical : great comet , what should've won : dear evan hansen

best costumes in a musical : hello dolly , what should've won : great comet

best revival of a musical : hello dolly , what should've won : falsettos

Best leading actress in a musical : bette middler , who should've won : eva noblezata ( probably spelled that wrong )

I don't know a lot of the plays i only saw indecent I'm going to see oslo but in my opinion dave malloy was overlooked and so was great comet and falsettos. Feel free to coment what you think.

I just don't understand this mentality — about any awards, especially if you yourself are not in the running.

Or, if you haven't seen all the nominees in each category. If you haven't are you really qualified to make these judgements?

I am very happy for all the winners, even if I disagreed with some of the results.

Gavin CREEL

Bette MIDLER

Eva NOBLEZADA



Can I ask which of these shows you've actually seen?

Jitney totally should not have won revival of a play....I don't get what people saw in it.

Perfectly said, LizzieCurry.

I've never understood that thought process either...........thinking they know more than the pros do.

I loved her speech, and the audience was so supportive of her - applauding and cheering her to go on!

Let them make speeches - I'd rather hear what the winners have to say than sit through more meaningless schtick.

Agree!

And I'm bitter about your spelling of "coreography " and about your failure to use capital letters (except on rare occasions, one of which was the capital C in "coreography"

By the way, how did you do that given autocorrect? I found that I had to make quite the effort.

I personally found the way in which Bette went about giving her speech to be extremely disrespectful and unprofessional.

I suspect the Broadway community was fine with that particular form of "disrespect". But how was it unprofessional? Is there a form of acceptance speech in her contract attached as an exhibit? Or a morals clause specific to awards acceptance speeches? Professionally, her speech was exactly what anyone familiar with her career would expect.
