OFFICIAL 2016 TONY AWARDS VIEWING THREAD

[BroadwayConcierge]

Posted: 6/12/16 at 5:31pm

The red carpet live-stream has begun online (hosted by Laura Michelle Kelly, Jordan Roth, Karen Olivo, and Alicia L. Quarles), so I figured this thread could be started and condensed to include pre-ceremony viewings as well.

I'm loving the NY1 red carpet coverage. 

 

Donna Karger - "Your show is amazing and I love it so much. Talk about the shootings in Orlando."

"Your dress is gorgeous. Talk about the people who died today".

Alicia, LMK, Jordan, and Karen have been doing pretty starting off. Nice, interesting questions.

Would you guys mind if I were to start a West Coast viewing thread? You know just for those of us who want somebody to watch with when it airs over here.

Nobody will mind, but every time someone wins an award, a new "Congrats to...!!!" Thread will be started.

I want to hear Patti's reaction to seeing Sir Andrew with Glenn Close.

Frank DiLella seems like a very nice, enthusiastic guy, but he is such a poor interviewer he sorta makes me want to kill myself...

Is there anywhere online to watch the awards given out at 7pm?

[RW3]

Posted: 6/12/16 at 7:01pm

So Alicia and LMK started off strong, but they have been dropping on some of the questions they've been asking.

He's Edward R. Murrow compared to Donna Karger

Donna Karger - "So, um, I think, I mean, it's like you, I really wanted to ask you, could you, you look so pretty"

So happy She Loves Me got that!

Rockwell deserved it! Beautiful set.

Natasha Katz and Howell Binkley both won Lighting Design as well. Solid set of winners thus far.

The fact that all the commercials are just advertising Hamilton's performance is really pissing me off, honestly. There are NINE other shows performing. I understand that they want to advertise the biggest hit, but seriously, you can't give any of the other shows a second of screen time?

The "Donna Karger NY1 Sh*tshow" did not disappoint as usual.

Why didn't they rename this "Hamilton presents The Tony's" Jesus

James Corden needs to come back to Broadway pronoto. He's way too freaking talented.
