After seeing that last number I just had terrible flashbacks to that big old flop I saw last night--Holler If Ya Hear Me.

^ This. PRECISELY. If they came up with the bucks, they'd perform.

Wait....I thought Bullets WAS performing....Zach Braff mentioned it on the red carpet.

I thought the rap was pretty funny.

A bunch of boring purists here! I'm not generally a fan of rap, but that bit was inspired, IMO.

Does this mean no in memoriam segment tonight? Time is running short with three awards still to present. That's disappointing.

Amazing actor NPH who has been on broadway for years finally gets an award

Okay. that explains it. i was asking myself has it always been that big and i just never noticed? LOL

I just turned off the broadcast. Rap singers? And, I'm sorry, but NPH got the "Thank you for keeping our ratings up all these years, Neal" Tony award. I feel like the theater part of the Tonys is totally eclipsed by the Hollywood/popular music/ TV stars contingent. I know, I know, it is a TV show but it is supposed to be a live theater celebration. Hoped against hope that Bryce Pinkham might have won - extraordinary performer.

End of rant.

Good night.

Why is Beautiful showing actors other than Jessie Mueller? Makes no sense.

Bullets may be a casualty of time restrictions.

Carole king and Jessie mueller. Heaven on the stage

[darreyl102]

Posted: 6/8/14 at 10:31pm

Carole and Jessie singing together!!!

[binau]

Posted: 6/8/14 at 10:31pm

Omg. Carole King's endorsement of Beautiful is ridiculously good for the show.

[Marlothom]

Posted: 6/8/14 at 10:32pm

I wish that was the actual cut of "WIll You Love Me Tomorrow" and other songs in Beautiful.

Beautiful now officially never on TKTS again

He's worn wigs for years. The man is bald.

The camerawork on this telecast is HORRIBLE this year.

So Jennifer Hudson is performing tonight? Now wait, but Jennifer Hudson is a Broadway star. Oh wait, scratch that. But she's performed on Broadway, nope wait, again. OK well she's had a string of hit movies. Nope, again, hold off on that.

Yeah, people know who she is and can sing. I guess that's why?
