Anyone know if this year's Drama Desk Awards will be streamed online?

Okay...no one make a separate thread. We can discuss here, yeah?
Anyone who didn't just watch the pre-show missed some of the most hysterical interviewing ever.

Oh my God, the pre-show! Hilariously bad. I don't know who the guy was but I couldn't stand his lisp and he sounded like he had no idea what to say to anyone on the RC.
can they just start handing out the awards already.
These Old Jews people are just not funny. Although getting Tom Hanks onstage was pretty great.

this is one of the worst things i've ever seen. what an embarrassment..
Obligatory complaint about Jessie Mueller's name being incorrectly pronounced.
they really know how to drag out an awards show.
The Old Jews are getting old. They weren't particularly funny to begin with.
And now we have a three-way tie, so this will be a little longer and more painful than usual.

Do the musicians only know "If I Were a Bell" and "It's Today" in varying tempi?
When did they change the design of the Drama Desk Award?

I can't believe Vanya...Spike was only nominated for the one award. At least it won it, but I can't believe the cast members weren't recognized with nominations.
I still think the Tonys should split Best Music and Best Lyrics into two separate categories.
