Posted: 5/25/05 at 3:02pmI'm THRILLED to! What award is she presenting? I think she should present the Best Actress award, since she won it last year.

Totally, and maybe she could do a bit of 'Defying Gravity,' to make up for last year's performance.

Posted: 5/25/05 at 3:19pmI think she should present the best actor, to her bud-------Norbert! That would be swell!

She probably will present best actor in as musical...that way, it would be the same way that they do it for the Oscars. At the oscars, the previous year's winner presents the OPPOSITE category. (For Example, Charlize Theron presented Jamie Foxx his award this year)...pretty clever!

Posted: 5/25/05 at 5:00pmIt would be perfect if she gave it to Norbert but I'm just happy that she'll be there. And we get to see Norbert again next year(if he wins).

Posted: 5/25/05 at 5:08pmGreat thought, Broadway Betty, but they don't always have the best actor present the following year..let's hope they do in Norb's case (hoping, hoping..)
#15re: Idina presenting award in Tonys!
Posted: 5/25/05 at 5:14pmThey better have him next year(again, if he wins). Harvey was there last year and John the year before. That's as far as my Tony knowledge goes.

They have been showing commericals for it. Anyone else getting excited when they see them?
EDIT: for the show, not her presenting... (Obvious, I know. But someone would say something!)
