Just a few hours away from Broadway's biggest night!

RED CARPET COVERAGE lasts from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. ET through NY1 and Facebook Live (though I'm not sure if that means it'll be on the Tonys or CBS's Facebook page...can anybody confirm?).

All that Twitter seems to reveal is that BDJ and Jonathan Groff are hosting the Creative Arts announcements. Hoping we'll hear more specifics soon...

Right? My thoughts exactly. With Concierge constantly starting every thread on the main board and the nutjobs taking over the OT board I don't even enjoy coming to the boards anymore... I can get my theater news from playbill.com

Ohmigod, you guys. It's Tony day. Stop with the drama!
But seriously, if you don't like Concierge's threads, don't open them. I, personally, am relieved when I see them starting the thread because I know it's a relevant topic that will get discussed and not just another troll thread.
Ignore the haters, BC. Keep on keeping on, and thanks for your threads!

Sheesh. I was following exactly what I did last year, which didn't seem to cause any problems. I personally love looking back on threads years down the line to read what people were thinking in the moment, and find that it's easier to track down threads when they have relatively standardized titles... either way, I'm not sure why my starting a thread would be so horribly offensive. And thanks for the support, Greased 
Anyway (and far more importantly), the 2017 Tony Awards red carpet is now LIVE!

Does anyone know the order of Awards? When will they do best featured actor in a musical?

Who's running NY1? Is it Donna Karger and the guy with the glasses or is it Frank Dilella and Stephanie Simon? I'd prefer the latter but I'll pass on either.
With the CBS facebook feed... am I supposed to not be able to hear anything?

Why does Jordan Roth look like Johnny Depp in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?

Agree Jordan gets uglier and scarier year after year as the hair grows...fugly! JR go back to the short hair closer to being bald...far better look and sexier for you!

Some surprisingly fancy outfits this year. Did Anna Wintour dress a couple people again?

""Sarah coupled with Frank is a far improvement of years past when he had to host with the boring Roma Torre and the stodgy Donna Karger...Sarah is a breath of fresh air even though her bubbly persona can be a bit too much at times but at least she overshadows Frank and is pleasantly appealing!

Side note... I thought Sarah was fantastic in Sell/Buy/Date. And her red carpet dress is gorgeous.

Frank is cosplaying as Michael McKean in Clue.
