I just saw this on the Tony Awards' twitter:

I think he'll do a great job!

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

He's too gay to host it! Everyone will think about how he likes to take it up the butt!

Maybe he should've hosted the Drama Desks, then.

Was his headshot taken in his hotel bathroom?

It's never a good idea to have one of the nominees also be the host. If he wins, it's awkward. If he loses, it's AWKWARD!!!

Couldn't they get Matt Morrison to host?

Phyl, only the guy who wrote that article will.

It will be interesting to see what they come up with for him to do. Although I am a bit tired of seeing Neil Patrick Harris everywhere, it might be fun if thet co-hosted together. JMO

I don't know, but that Max Factor facial stubble is as fake as his portrayal of Chuck Baxter.

Is he playing the role of a "gay host" or a "straight host"?

Hugh Jackman hosted the year he won for Boy From Oz...not awkward at all.

Anyway I think Sean Hayes will be great!

And we thought PROMISES, PROMISES might not perform...
They'll be performing all night!

Good choice.

Kathleen Turner hosted the year she was nominated for Cat and did not win. She had Bruce Vilanch-type jokes ready and used them.

Will Newsweek be invited...?

We do not want a repeat of the Nathan Lane naked but for an apron incident. Glenn Close was shocked to her foundations.

Seems that Newsweek brouhaha was the perfect thing to reverse the bad taste people had in their mouths about that Advocate interview he gave.

Ain't that the friggin' truth! Well done, Lady Setoodeh! You might even hand him the win!

Which would not be undeserved. Hayes was wonderful in PROMISES, PROMISES.

I'm quite satisfied with Hayes' hosting. Hopefully this will be the third straight year of having a good host(Whoopi, NPH, and now Hayes).

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

I'm quite satisfied with this. Host is better than no host, and Sean Hayes is entertaining. I think I enjoyed his performance in Promises, Promises more than most. No wonder their show got the green light to perform at the Tonys.

I don't think it will be awkward because he's a nominee. Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick hosted during the year that was The Producers, and only Nathan won. Thankfully, the Best Actor in a Musical prize is towards the end of the ceremony, so he won't really have the opportunity to sulk on screen when he loses.
