The Mary Poppins bit had me in hysterics.

Posted: 6/16/08 at 12:09amShe was pretty great. The only unfunny sketch was the Mario/ACL thing.

Posted: 6/16/08 at 12:11amWhoopi was 20 out of a 10! I really enjoyed how much her love of Broadway came through each time she was on stage and through all of her funny bits. It would be hilarious if she came back next year and did bits from In The Heights, Passing Strange, and Xanadu..

Posted: 6/16/08 at 12:16amkudos to Whoopi for giving us the best tony show in years!
#35re: Rate Whoopi!!!!!
Posted: 6/16/08 at 12:17amAgreed about the A Chorus Line bit. So much more could have been done. Maybe Whoopi as Sheila or Val in the opening. Anything that didn't include Mario Lopez would have been better.
