Personally, I would have liked to have seen Chisholm or Elbrick pull a 'surprise", or "110" or "Radio Golf" win---
Fantasia's performance saved the night for me--- brought it up to a 5

Well apparantly Raul didn't win..and that alone makes it like a 5.
I mean, Denzel Washington? Gun to my head..of course.

Yeah, I'd say 7.
Nowhere near as boring as last year

Raul lossing brought it down about 5 points for me. Then Spring Awakening winning brought it up about 2. I'd say 6 total.

Compared to last year, I think the Tonys were great (and finally clocked in at under 3 hours)!
Raul Esparza's performance gets a 10.

Performances - 8
Wins- 3
Show all together- 4 (I missed all the Tony memories bits and things like that. Last year they showed lots of clips of Tonys past, which I adored. This year was just win, speech, performance, repeat. Blegh.)

3... immensly dissapointing, except for a few wins and the clips of the non-nominated performances.

6.5 overall.
Wins were disappointing and mostly jaded.
Entertainment value was high for the first hour, and then it went downhill after Poppins.

Its is the possessive. It's is the contraction for it is...

7 - just b/c i loved how before a commercial break like a large cracking sound could be heard and spot lights would hit upcoming performers!

Actually, I'd rate the show a 9. I thought it was very well produced and executed. If only other award shows could be as entertaining and briskly paced. However, Raul's loss is devastating to me. Frankly, I'm dumbfounded. DHP gave a pedestrian performance in a very mediocre show. It pales in comparison to Raul's performance in Company. I'm truly heartbroken for him.

4 mostly because of the badly written pretentious words written for the presenters to say.
Hi points: audra, Curtains, Julie White, Chorus Line, mary Louise Wilson and Duncan Shiek
Low points: Mary Poppins Medly, Spring Awakening Hodgepodge.
Fantasia (the song was god awful the performance was fine)

I'm with RockabyeHamlet, I give it a solid 3, one of the most disappointing lackluster ceremonies.

4 or 5. Except for a few performances, there was no reason to watch the show. The awards were all predictable. The performances (on the most part) were not exciting. Not bad. But not amazing. I felt the telecast lacked major energy.
