The sh*tty camerawork was definitely the primary downfall for most of the numbers, although the really good ones managed to shine through regardless. I'll take crappy camerawork over the sound issues that have plagued the Tonys in the past.

Opening: A (pretty solid with a few surprisingly hilarious lyrics)

TV Show Song: A+ (the best written portion of the evening, especially Laura Benanti's rant at Will Chase)

Bring it On: C (Enjoyable, but just very "meh")

Annie: B+ (Jane really surprised me)

A Christmas Story: B (the song was a bit cringeworthy, but the tap-dancing kid and Caroline O'Connor more than made up for it)

Cinderella: A- (this show is now on my must-see list)

Pippin: A+ (Although MJT hit a few sour notes, it was just the sh!t)

Motown: C- (Pretty Lousy. "Do You Love Me" would've been a better choice to rock the house)

Rascals: D (It would be an F if I didn't like the song)

True Colors: A+ (Every Memorial Segment on every awards show needs to be held up to this standard)

Matilda: B- (Still can't understand the words, although hearing Miss Honey's section of "When I Grow Up" made me tear a little bit, as I'm familiar with her character's backstory)

Phantom: C- (This was like a bad recreation of a 1980s MTV Music Video)

Kinky Boots: A- (Solid Performance, but they should've done "Sex Is In The Heel")

Closing: B+ (The lyrics were a bit sour, but Audra McDonald's general fierceness made me wet with joy)

OPENING: A+

MATILDA: A-

BRING IT ON: C-

A CHRISTMAS STORY: C+

KINKY BOOTS: B-

CINDERELLA: B+ (the quick changes were praised so much that I was disappointed with the poor execution)

ANNIE: B (had no idea Jane Lynch could sing like that based on the songs she's given on Glee)

TV SHOW SONG: B+ (had a hard time hearing it with the applause)

PIPPIN: A

RASCALS: F

MOTOWN: B

PHANTOM: F (and that's coming from a fan of the show)

Could anyone create this as a poll where you rank the shows by the numbers 1-5 (5=A, 4=B, etc) and they would turn into bar graphs? That would be interesting to see because of all the different interests.

Opening: A+
TV Show Song: A-
"True Colors"/In Memoriam: B (photos were too fast or not well shown)
MATILDA: D (like the show)
BRING IT ON: C-
A CHRISTMAS STORY: B+ (might go see it this year, so accomplished what it needed to)
KINKY BOOTS: C+ (a number about two leads who can't dance; frankly, most of this show feels as though it came off a conveyor belt)
CINDERELLA: B
ANNIE: B (my friends were at the rehearsal, where they said she was much funnier)
PIPPIN: A-
Rascals montage: F (wtf?)
MOTOWN: C
PHANTOM: F
FINALE A (don't care how it happened, NPH singing about winners while Audra sang a counterpoint NYC song was pretty amazing)

OVERALL SHOW B (but why put on musical numbers from third-rate, closed shows and not let the great Cicely Tyson enjoy her triumph? Shameful)
