Posted: 3/2/05 at 5:21pmHe's done it before and he's great at it. Should be a fun ceremony and I'm glad they're televising on PBS.

Posted: 3/2/05 at 5:22pmIt's great that they're televising it this year so I don't have to watch it via a terrible internet connection. He is a great host - my favorite part about last years' ceremony was when he read off a nomination for PRYMATE, a few people clapped, and he said "Oh, I heard someone saw that." It was great.

Posted: 3/2/05 at 5:53pmSure..I'm not thrilled. Then again, I can't think of anyone better to do it. It will be fun..I guess I just think he gets old after a while. Not in shows or anything, just Harvey as Harvey.

Posted: 3/2/05 at 7:16pmyay it is being televised! Oh and congrats to harvy! Should be great.
"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

Actually, the Drama Desk Awards also include Off Broadway theater.
Unlike the Tonys that only cover Broadway, the Drama Desk awards allow Broadway and Off Broadway shows to compete against each other. This is the 50th Drama Desk Award show, May 22, 2005.

I am not sure. Check on the website.
Since I have been involved we had Chita, Harvey, Tovah and Harvey. 
So far Harvey was the most fun. He had me in stitches last year.
He is very funny. Very entertaining.
