"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

Best Musical was a pretty easy choice under these circumstances, I've noticed, because many of my actual favorites (Spelling Bee, Drowsy Chaperone, Grey Gardens, Xanadu, next to normal) did not win...

WickedRocks, it may come as a surprise, but I very much think JERSEY BOYS is the best musical currently on Broadway.

re: The Last 5 Year Tonys!

Posted: 6/20/09 at 2:25am

Wow! Really?!

I haven't seen it since I saw the OBC and I've been wanting to go back. I enjoyed it but not as much as you. I thought it was slick, cleverly-staged entertainment with a stunning lead performance from John Lloyd Young but really nothing more...

#75

re: The Last 5 Year Tonys!

Posted: 6/20/09 at 2:27am

I have to agree with Yankee on this one. In my opinion, as far as musicals go (at least new ones, I think South Pacific is still the finest overall), Jersey Boys is the best show currently open on Broadway.
