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.

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!

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.

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.

We agree on very little, PalJoey, but we agree on this.

Can we talk about the following things?
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.

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