It feels like they merely booked him for ratings--and who can blame them. Theatre needs all the help it can get. Plus, he gets to promote his new show.
My problem was the terrible camera work, the foolish choices made by CBS, and I terribly missed the behind the scenes footage for the designers. They could have at least named the other design/orchestration nominees. I'm tired of theatre's being treated like the bas**rd child of the entertainment world. CBS just had to have all 3 hours, but would be damned to do it with 100% care.
