Somebody did. I think he has given better performance of that song, but I was impressed by how well they made the set work for Radio City. I definitely got a great look at the show.

And yet Comet has already gotten two Tonys.   So....?

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Considering Rachel Bay Jones and Mike Faist were also nominated, I also thought they were going to do another song.

I meant in the "big" categories - score, book, actor, supporting actress, and musical.

Steven Levenson won book. I am actually surprised, yet happy! I thought CFA would take that...is this the beginning of a DEH sweep?

I am so happy Steven won. I was starting to think David and Irene would, but glad it was Steven. Will Come From Away walk out with nothing?

Considering he's been on vocal rest for the past 2+ days, can't really blame him.

I always hate that some awards are given offscreen. I wish all the winners got a chance to give their speeches on TV.

I agree! I am living for playwrights getting some well deserved screen time.

It looks it. Really a shame. Was hoping to spread the love around on the televised awards after last year's single show party.

Totally agreed about the Best Play nominees!

I can't believe Groundhog Day chose this number of all the songs in the show to do at the Tonys... it's beautiful in the show's context, but they could've picked so many better standalone songs.

Kline seemed very subdued. Not sure if he was tired or drunk or angry about something.
