The great comet number made me believe it would be easier to tour than we think.

Re: TGC Performance
Dear Scot Rudin - take notes. This is how you restage a performance for Radio City. If TGC could do it, why couldn't you bring something from Dolly? Oh yeah, a pissing contest with the Tony board.

Loved that Great Comet performance. So happy they were able to really showcase the excitement of the show in their performance.

That was an absolutely fantastic choice for the Tonys. Groban gave me chills at the beginning and the rest of it was so much fun to watch.

Dare I even ask what the show is about?
Posted: 6/11/17 at 10:20pm
TGC performance reminded me of how much I disliked the show. It was a showcase of running around, distractions, incoherence and noise. It reminded me of my days of doing Murder Mystery Dinner theatre.

Great Comet. WOW.
Now THAT'S a Tony performance.

I wonder if Best Actress in a Musical could go the way of the Julie Andrews/Donna Murphy award back in 1996? If I recall, Donna was not expected to take the award after Julie's reaction to the nomination (or lack thereof for the rest of the cast/staff of Victor Victoria.). I wonder if Rudin's behavior may cost Bette the award....

The Great Comet performance was electric. I was convinced the roof was going fly off the place. Ahhhhh the lack of love its getting tonight saddens me.

Love that Sutton gave Gavin his trophy. Thoroughly Modern Millie full circle.
Boo for the Best Costumes Musical going to Dolly and Rachel Chavkin losing. Boo for most of the Great Comet wins not getting real air time.
I agree Spacey's opening was better than I would have guessed (not amazing but better than I'd anticipated) but I'm glad he's not on stage too much.
Not really wowed by the performances aside from Leslie and Cynthia. I need them to record a duets album immediately.
I need more Rachel Bloom. I love how excited she was about seeing Patti again.
"Who's the Rachel Bloom chick? First I'm hearing of her.

THAT'S HOW YOU DO A PERFORMANCE

FU Rudin and Dolly!

DEAR SCOTT F*CKING RUDIN--
IF GREAT COMET COULD RE-STAGE AROUND THAT F*CKING PASSARELLE, SO COULD YOUR GODDAMN HELLO DOLLY.
go to hell.

Agreed 100%

Agreed! Made me really want to see it. However, to my surprise, it did look/sound a little Fiddler on the Roof-ish?@

Great Comet was fantastic! Really looking forward to seeing the show now!
Just three thoughts I had though...
1. I wish Denee was highlighted.
2. I thought they'd make more use of the entire theatre (the aisles, balcony, mezzanine). Would have loved to see that though I'm sure camera men and editors would have hated it.
3. All that hoopla for the 'extras' and they just sat on the banquettes in the back of the stage? Doing nothing? Thought the extras would have a bigger part with all the rehearsals they attended.

I was thinking the same thing.......

Gordon hugging Malloy got tears in my eyes.

I love they used Borles understudy!
Posted: 6/11/17 at 10:25pm
And that Comet performance totally backed up the fact that Chavkin was ROBBED.
Posted: 6/11/17 at 10:25pm
Can't believe Rudin's "we can't restage Hello Dolly! for Radio City Hall holds any water after seeing The Great Comet rebuild their entire set.
ETA: Yay Oslo!

Well, yeah. Russia, you know.

I wish Denee could have been highlighted too. Her voice is so lovely.
