Couldn't they afford another microphone? 

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I can't believe Andrew Lloyd Webber's daughter has nothing better to do than work for Broadway.com.

"I can't believe Andrew Lloyd Webber's daughter has nothing better to do than work for Broadway.com."

 Wow, that really is bizarre as hell.

God, I want nothing more than for Kelli to win, but I don't think we will be seeing that happen on Sunday night. I thought Kelli turned in the best performance of the season, so I am really bummed about this. I enjoyed Chenoweth's performance, but not as much as I enjoyed Kelli's.

A disgustingly political video. I loved when they would talk about how TIGHT the race for a category would be, only to show the winner at 100% in their final poll. I actually laughed out loud several times.

Typical Broadway.com has to talk about how "tight" races like Play and Score are. Everything has to be sunshine and rainbows for everyone 24/7. When they discussed Mulligan beating Mirren I laughed.

Scotty, ROFL! I love it!

Matt, this is the BWW forum, Broadway.com is the "competition"... or something like that.

Also, what's wrong with Imogen working as one of the top editors at Broadway.com First of all, it's a totally respectable job in itself. Certainly a job I would love to do. And second of all, it seems like a really good fit for someone who probably grew up watching and loving theater, and wants to work in the industry, but maybe has no interest or particular talent to be on stage or behind. Would you rather have her ride on her famous dads coattails and be a mediocore composer or something?

lol is that what he does? I don't know much about the Lloyd Webber family, didn't even know she had a brother, let alone what he does for a living. I didn't realize she was ALW's daughter for the longest time because I didn't really pay attention to her name.

Yes he is and his show from 2011 is being produced again next year in Canada.

I have nothing against Broadway.com...in fact I watch many of their backstage volgs and other videos. They get insider access like no one else.

What I don't like is the need pandering to everyone in this video.

Completely agree Idina, love their vlogs and inside access stuff (recording sessions, Show People, etc) but their reporting is kinda BS, and I hate their audience, as is evidenced by their yearly Audience Choice Award Winners.

I do like their video content, though that is the highlight of the site.

Broadway.com sells tickets so they have to talk about basically everything [ie oh i just wanted to give a shoutout to ______] And the one who said if Curious incident sweeps, it could pick up choreography too- like ok sure against AIP ok. I was very surprised that Paul's comment about how OTT is still around wasn't cut- I thought that would be very controversial. I was disappointed in it, though it was expected. It felt very staged.

They're not a legitimate news site anymore.  They used to be, but now they exist as a ticket broker, so all of their content is designed to drive sales. If you read enough of their "articles," it's very clear what they're doing.

Have you seen the BWW award winners chosen by popular vote?

When John Simon (regardless of what one thinks of him) and Ken Mandelbaum used to write for Broadway.com...when Broadway.com had actual reviews of shows written by actual reviewers...it was a news site. 

Then they did that "Everyday Joes as Critics" thing (which I did submit a video for one season because I wanted freebies) and now they're just an infotainment site, at best. They have that uber obnoxious fanboy running the circus, and it's just a mess. 

Unfortunately, Playbill.com is slowing going the way of Broadway.com. That's REALLY depressing.

In the most recent "Broadway.com Show", they all look so miserable talking about the winners. Do they like Broadway? Are they bitter? Did none of their sponsors win?

Pretty sure they were all tired. They were up really late for Tony day and they shot this right after.
