Well I guess I need to get my butt up to see Oslo. It was the only nominated show I haven't seen.

GREAT COMET just sold a ton of tickets!!

I really want cannoli' from Arthur Avenue.
I was also disappointed with no staging for Hello, Dolly! I guess they want you to hit the resale market to see the show.

So touching to have Jill present bandstand. RIP beau.
Posted: 6/11/17 at 10:31pm
Pretty sure Jill just sold bandstand a decent amount of tickets.

GREAT COMET showed everyone how the Tonys are done and it certainly put HELLO DOLLY and, especially, Scott Rudin to shame. God these are boring. Though I am loving Kevin Spacey.

This Bandstand number is not bad at all.

Who knew Corey Cott was so hairy.

Love the Bandstand dancing -- I'm so glad it won for choreography. I hoped it would. My heart belongs to swing dancing!

I left the viewing party I was at early. Overall, a very disappointing awards show this year with a boring host and lackluster performances (minus The Great Comet). I'm thrilled with a handful of the nominations, but I strongly disagree with most of them. Not a great year.

Anyone who ever saw Newsies knew he was hairy. Who cares? Laura nearly tripped over that dancer, it was smooth of Corey to kind of slide her over.

I was worried for Laura when she nearly tripped. That would have been difficult to come over because of how dancers immediately moved to that part of the stage.

... until they find out there are no tickets left to see Josh Groban before he leaves the show in July.

BANDSTAND just sold a bunch of tickets. All these new musicals really know what they're doing. The revivals though....

The BANDSTAND company also knows how to do the Tonys. Good for them. One of the few shows that understood this night is about entertainment and letting the country see the magic of what a Broadway show can do.
Posted: 6/11/17 at 10:37pm
That performance was wonderful, people love swing dancing. Excited for them!

Disappointing such a rich season has been made to look so incredibly boring.

Best Choreography on Broadway...Bandstand just enticed viewers to see the show!

I am on the west coast and won't see the broadcast for another half hour.
But, not surprised TGC showed so well on TV. I LOVED the energy of this show (but felt very lost through much of it). But the strength of that show would really shine on TV.
I would have given it best set design, lighting, orchestrations, even choreography, and director. The rest to DEH. And, although I did like CFA, its individual elements were outshined by DEH and TGC.
So, go ahead posters, rip into me personally, especially if you are a "legend" on here (as that seems to be the rule of posting here).
Oh yeah and (again), as everyone is saying in wake of TGC number, suck it Rudin, Hello, Dolly! and yes, even her royal highness, Ms Midler for taking away a seminal Tonys moment over your pride and fears. You have lost some luster in my opinion. I will recoin, it should be renamed HELL NO, Dolly!
Posted: 6/11/17 at 10:40pm
Comet with by far the best performance of the night. I love all the shows nominated, but TGC performance is the only one that would make me want to see the show if I had no idea what it was.
Groban bringing some soul at the beginning, and then just pure joy after that. Loved seeing Malloy at the piano as well. Probably the only performance of the night I would say wars actually good. Well Fasettos was good too

I'm pretty sure "Bottom's Gonna Be On Top" was playing when Brian D'arcy James and Groff came on, and my Something Rotten loving heart EXPLODED

Big miss Colbert. I know they're all cheering, but that was some low hanging fruit.
Posted: 6/11/17 at 10:43pm
Laura had a slight misstep getting into the coach at R+H CINDERELLA's Tonys performance too. She's a pro though and continued unphased.
Posted: 6/11/17 at 10:43pm
Yikes, those boos. Have to agree with them though.
