THE OFFICIAL 2017 TONY AWARDS VIEWING THREAD — Page 17

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.

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

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!

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

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.

Wow, Colbert was so very original and creative with those jokes! Hardy-har!

I HOPE SCOTT RUDIN FALLS INTO THE F*CKING PASSARELLE!

Can't believe how much Malloy got robbed tonight

He even mentioned put on your Sunday clothes in his speech. The biggest troll on Broadway

Oak and Dave standing next to each other is a nice touch....

1. Midler almost didn't get up on stage. She literally had to be dragged up there.

2. As much as I hate Rudin, she was literally talking during his speech and then someone said what looked like "watch" and she made a face, said ok and walked away.

Wonder what will happen in her Tony speech

At this point, I'm hoping she doesn't get to make one.
