And there was more to Bill T. Jones' choreography getting to the stage than in the show!

And we made it thus far without a spoiler thread...


I would've given it to Curtains over SA.

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Oh God. He's talented an all, but come on! I don't want this thing to sweep. There's so much better stuff out there.

I enjoyed watching Bebe leap backwards when Bill T. Jones came toward her. Priceless!

WHAT!!!! I can't believe it won! I enjoyed the choreography in SA but I didn't think it deserved to get nominated over the underdog Pirate Queen and the fact that it won just baffles me. But congrats to them anyway.

Can you change your title? There's people who haven't been able to see the actual ceremony yet, it's pretty unfair to spoil it for them.

It's not like the award winners aren't right on the main BWW page for people to see already :-P

Yeah johnny, but at least we KNOW going into one of those threads there will be spoilers. We just had to open Broadwayworld.com to see this.

I mean, Denzel Washington? Gun to my head..of course.

I just realized that, very inconsiderate of BWW.com I think. But yeah, if you have the winners on the headlines, I guess a spoiler thread doesn't really matter. Knock yourself out, hehe.

I will say one thing, though I didn't find his work all that remarkable, it was not typical "tippy tap Broadway all smiles stuff." You know what I mean. Maybe his win will encourage Broadway choreographers to be more ambitious.

Is there going to be a thread on EVERY f'ing award?!

in reference to the original title to this thread...Matthew Bourne deserved another Tony for Mary Poppins. SA really shouldn't have taken this one...

hear the beat...

This wasn't shocking at all. This was predicted by almost everyone in the industry, as well as most people on this board. I'm glad he won.

"yes, one of the many shockers of the evening!"

Unless, of course, you realize that people were trying to send a signal to young people that theatre was a viable option.

The ignorance here astounds me - especially from those who CLAIM to be interested in the business of theatre!

I was only suprised, beacuse in terms of choreography, I felt that there were much stronger candidates.

Eh. I immediately thought so too, at first - but when you sit back and look at all the other nominees, there really weren't.

Come on...Mary Poppins and Legally Blonde were both stronger inn terms of choreography.

ANY routine you do is going to require practice. And while theirs may not have been as crisp and clean like Curtains, it requires work.

I'm not defending their win, I am merely pointing out the obvious that no matter what you do, it will always require practice.
