Come on ENGLAND

There doesn't seem to be the excitement about the Tonys on the Broadway board that there was last year.

And, yes, England's performance last night was mediocre.

"I swear you always call him Derek"

Deliberate mistake here.

I too shall sleep through the Tonys but if the dawn chorus wakes me I might get up early to check out the results.

alfred Molonia is english (hope i spelt his name right sorry if i didnt

Jude Law - he's pretty much English.

Hope the Tonys don't turn out to be as big a yawn as the game of soccer is. lol

La Cage won director! Means both directors of a play and a musical are British!

Thrilled the UK is doing well

Loved Green Days performance and La Cage did good but i was underwhelmed by Million Dollar

Stunned that Angela did not win Best Featured Actress in a Musical. I know that many people have raved about Katie Finneran but I did not see anything particularly memorable about her performance in Promises Promises. In fact, to be honest, I don't even remember her performance in Promises Promises LOL.

Well, she already got featured actress like LAST YEAR. The honorary award already recognize her achievement this year.

I don't see that the fact Angela won a Tony lasy year has to do with anything. If her performance this year deserved a Tony, that's all that should count. And I thought her Mme Armfeldt was a tour de force. And my main point was I can't see why Finneran won as I found nothing particularly special in her performance even worthy of being nominated to be honest, let alone to win the gong.

Come Fly Away should have got choreography, that's twice he has won when I did not agree (now for Fela and 2007851095321 for Spring Awakening)

I also must be missing something with Memphis, average score, book, talent etc, American Idiot is far better

LA CAGE got revival musical! Great day for the Queen's land!
