PLEASE get a screen cap of this guy with the backless shirt!

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

"Horribe- HORRIBLE" could truly be the only way to describe this years telecast. Last year really wasn't much better, but I figured it could only get better!

Wow, that show was-AWFUL!

GOOD POINTS (FOR ME):
*YEAH LAURA BENANTI!
*"Get out of here, Cheyenne Jackson!"
*Mark Rylance's tattoo speech
*Fishburne's Dance with Harvey
*The [Tos]sers! They were a lot funnier than I would have thought.

BAD POINTS (FOR ME):
*Harvey. Darling. We all know you're gay. We all know you're a former drag queen. You don't have to remind us every year. Come up with something new to say.
*Half the theater was empty. Why?

"Y'know, I think Bertolt Brecht was rolling in his grave."

ahem. Corine. Who even posted in my thread asking if there would be performances.
