^ 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.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Posted: 6/8/14 at 10:27pmA bunch of boring purists here! I'm not generally a fan of rap, but that bit was inspired, IMO.

"Has NPH'S Forehead always been that big? DAMN!
How did i never notice that before."
His hairline is receding.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Posted: 6/8/14 at 10:28pmDoes this mean no in memoriam segment tonight? Time is running short with three awards still to present. That's disappointing.
Scratch and claw for every day you're worth!
Make them drag you screaming from life, keep dreaming
You'll live forever here on earth.

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.

Posted: 6/8/14 at 10:29pmWhy is Beautiful showing actors other than Jessie Mueller? Makes no sense.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 6/8/14 at 10:31pmOmg. Carole King's endorsement of Beautiful is ridiculously good for the show.

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

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?
