Poor DHP, that was terrible. And I guess because ANASTASIA didn't perform, they filled them in with the Rockettes? Disappointing.

Not really..the score of DOLLY is so well known even minor songs like "Elegance" and "It Only takes a Moment" would have seemed old hat. Here was a chance for a song that only a few people know to get some exposure.

Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

What happened?
Sarah kept trying to talk to Cynthia while Frank kept trying to close the show and then he just sprang a request for Cynthia to sing and she improved a Tony's song because she is a goddess and a cinnamon roll.

Are the people confused about Bette really so out of the loop? This has been going on for weeks.

Wow, I still can't believe they did that with Dolly. That's such crap. Kudos to DHP for giving it his all, though. What a trouper!
Rachel Bay Jones's gown was the best! And her and Laurie Metcalf's daughters are adorable!

Wow, a bit surprised about Direction of a Play. Sher's work on Oslo was stunning.

Thrilled for Come from Away, but...RACHEL CHAVKIN NOT WINNING DIRECTION OF A MUSICAL?! Seriously!
I wonder if the vote got split between Comet and DEH on this one. Man...Comet is getting screwed tonight.
