I'M GLAD MATILDA LOST LAST NIGHT! — Page 3

Well, I can't say that I'm glad Matilda lost but I can say that I am thrilled that Kinky Boots won. Having seen both shows on the same weekend early into their runs, I felt Kinky Boots had the edge. It has brought me back to the Hirschfeld twice since and while I thought Matilda was excellent, I can't say the same about repeat visits to the Shubert.

May both shows enjoy long and properous runs!

Keith I will ignore all the mean things you said about me because I LOVE on The Twentieth Century and REALLY love that poster!

broadway guy, give it a freaking rest. No one on here is going to take you seriously if you keep acting like a three year old. The fact that you weren't banned after telling Clyde that you hope he kills himself is ridiculous. I thought you would've matured a bit by now. Jeez.

I saw both shows the week before Tonys week (was in NYC 5/28 thru 6/3). Saw Kinky Boots on a Thursday and Matilda on a Saturday. I have to say, Kinky Boots has MUCH MORE energy and Matilda seemed a little flat. A couple sitting next to me during Matilda were from Florida had seen them both in that week as well. They agreed that Kinky Boots had more energy.

Although I thought Matilda overall was good - I like dark musicals - the production values and performances were top notch, just not very exciting or uplifting in my opinion (and everyone has theirs). Plus, I was jaded by the movie (my nieces made me watch it with them a long time ago) and I found the movie very charming. The musical lost something in the translation and I think that is what cost them the "big prize".

broadwaybaby -- it is a stock picture of a child from Google Images. He admitted as much in a different thread.

Wickedrocks: I didn't start this. I asked a simple question on this thread and then I was attacked By Liza's Headband. I didn't instigate anything. Plus I apologized to Clyde for saying that in a Pm even though he didn't have the decency to write back and accept it. But then that just becomes his problem not mine.

broadwaybabytn: It was a joke that i did to ljay88. He/she asked me my age and jokingly i said i was 10. We were talking about EVITA and the joke is that the kid is doing the famous V that Eva Peron does during DCFMA. I don't think he/she got it though.

Broadway Guy: Stop making every thread about you.

It's called letting. It. Go. You don't need to respond to everyone who makes a dig towards you. Based on the way you behave on here, people are going to be on your case and are going to try to instigate. So prove that you aren't a troll and that you're mature and ignore it. The "I didn't start it!!!!" excuse is just further proving your immaturity.

I swear, most people have more drama on this board than I do in real life.

That's right, Rocks, make the thread about you now.

I'd have trouble getting into Matilda simply because I cannot stand children singing.

Well, I guess the good news is that for anyone who hasn't seen Matilda yet, a discount code will probably be on the way in a few months tops.

You know what? It was a terrible season for musicals, imo. KB was okay, but nothing more, and I thought MATILDA was a big loud bore. Probably the best musical of the season was the revival of PIPPIN, which is not a great show to begin with.

So, yes, I am grateful that MATILDA lost the Tony award, but I can't honestly say it mattered. I think the whole musical season was third-rate.

the awards are more political than who was the 'best'.

Ding! Ding! Ding!
No more calls, please.
We have a winner!!!
