Well, as per Jordan's post, there are a lot of things worse than the wrong show winning the Tony, but it's probably not that shocking that the American show with the feel-good message edged out the dark, sophisticated British import. Matilda was an A, Kinky was a B+...and I liked Pippin more than either one of them.
Glad at least that they went with Tracy Letts over Tom Hanks, and Patina over Laura, even though she made a lovely Cinderella
