I can't think of anyone better to present the last award. She is really the queen of Broadway. What a delight, it's so good to see her again. A wonderful ending for a wonderful ceremony. The 60 stars that presented the awards were great. It really worked. The Tonys were very dynamic. Amazing!

I was so excited to see her there. That was really wonderful.

I agree, ladies. It was wonderful to see her there. This thread is a joy to read after all the terrible, rude and nit-picky things people are ranting about in the other threads
Thank you!

Personally, I LOVE Julie Andrews and everything she's associated with. I didn't think Princess Diaries (either of them) was awful but to hear her sing again is well, priceless!
Seeing Julie was the highlight of the evening! She'll always be Maria to me and Victoria & Mary Poppins...she's one classy lady and extremely talented! I love Julie!!!
Given the number of times she has presented awards, and the number of times she has hosted the show, she really should be given a special "Lifetime achievement" Tony award.
Her grandstanding at VICTOR/VICTORIA may have cost her the one chance she had to win a Tony, but I would not want to see her win for her weakest show. Of course, she should have won for MY FAIR LADY but because the show opened after the 1956 Tony cut-off she was up against the 1956/57 season actresses (Ethel Merman, Judy Holliday) whose perfrmances were perhaps a little fresher in voters' minds.
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks." Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com
She's so classy. That's the exact word for her I used last night. Classy. That's what she is!

"But honestly in that is probably the last time we will hear her sing so its special in many ways"
Julie didn't sing Broadwaybound!

With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

Oh, i thought he was saying she sang at the Tonys. Ooops.

Well, it seems she got over that incident, and thank god. She was back where she belongs!

I can't imagine she would release anything of the sort. She has been so upset by the entire situation, which is understandable, her singing voice has defined her for most of her life.
Still she is practically perfect in everyway.
