Posted: 6/9/13 at 11:08pmI saw Maltilda but not Kinky Boots but after leaving theatre it was hard for me to imagine Matilda not winning, JMO.

Sore losers.
Play It Again, Kinky is not nearly as much money to run.

I'm in shock. First Once winning over Newsies, now this. Sigh...

I agree to a point.
I saw both last month, one on Friday night and one on Saturday night...I think the audience loved Kinky Boots and I just wasn't that excited for me
I enjoyed Matilda more, but not sure if robbed is the right word...its defiantly a preference.
I think alot of folks at home will not understand Kinky Boots or Matlida and that is the problem with both shows.
Hands down my favorite show of the season has been PIPPIN...just gives me goose bumps.
If anyone was robbed, it was Rob McClure who did an AMAZING job in Chapin...he was outstanding.

There was no way Kinky was going to lose.
Those little girls never stood a chance.

Agreed. It boggles my mind that so many people I've spoken to, people on here, and some of my close friends and colleagues think Kinky Boots is so much better than Matilda.
In Matilda I saw the best overall new musical: performances, set, lighting, direction, music, book, and lyrics since Scottsboro Boys.
In Kinky I saw a mediocre book, strange performances, direction and choreography, a cute score and an ugly design.
I really don't get the Kinky Boots appeal at all and I was planning on revisiting since maybe I was having an "off night" when I saw it but that will probably be impossible for a while after the win.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 11:18pmI just don't understand how Newsies loses and Kinky Boots wins....

Posted: 6/9/13 at 11:19pmI haven't seen either Matilda or Kinky, but Newsies is not even in the same class as Once.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 11:20pmI was so bored by the Kinky Boots performance but was enraptured from start to finish by the children in Matilda. I haven't seen either but I'm looking at Matilda tickets now. I think it will have a nice, long life on Broadway regardless of this loss.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 11:22pmYeah, I am mad. They defientely overlooked Kinky Boots with Best Score and Best Cherography. Matilda got robbed :/

Posted: 6/9/13 at 11:24pmI'm sure you'll get over it when you realize there are things in the world to cruelly be upset about.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 11:26pmI guess some people don't find children endlessly interesting.

"I saw Maltilda but not Kinky Boots but after leaving theatre it was hard for me to imagine Matilda not winning, JMO."
I was the exact same way.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 11:27pmMaybe next year the children will stay home and the grown ups will sing.
MATILDA WAS ROBBED#21
Posted: 6/9/13 at 11:28pmHaven't seen Kinky Boots, but nothing I have heard, listened to, or watched has made me enthusiastic about it. I've run through the cast album at least three times, and I just can't see the appeal. But honestly as much as Matilda was robbed, Danny Troob was ridiculously robbed. His beautiful orchestrations for Cinderella are miles above the electro-pop orchestrations for Kinky Boots.

And why did they have to perform a godawful number from Once? Wasn't it bad enough that we had to hear that wailing and whining on last year's show? Luckily, the commercial interrupted the start of it. This is one time I would rather have seen commercials.
And what is so hard to understand about people disliking Matilda? It's cold, nasty, has ugly music, and is unintelligible much of the time. What's to like about all that?
MATILDA WAS ROBBED#23
Posted: 6/9/13 at 11:28pmI haven't seen Kinky Boots, but I've listened to the score. It has the most repetitive lyrics I've ever heard for a show. I don't see the big deal. Matilda did indeed, got robbed.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 11:30pmMatila was definitely robbed! Kinky Boots winning is a freaking Joke. How the hell do you win a tony award for coming up with a 3 minute song saying "yeah yeah"? Completely ridiculous. Complete Crap. It doesn't matter though cause PIPPIN was the real winner tonight.
