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....?

Great choice by DEAR EVAN HANSEN!!

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.

I was rooting for Great Comet but super happy for the boys! They are so sweet

And ahhhh, can't wait to see this in November!

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

Best Book of a Musical - Steven Levenson (Dear Evan Hansen)

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?

I love, love, love the way they're handling the Best Play nominees.  Very classy.

Best BOOK? DEH? Really?

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.

Kevin Kline sounds drunk.

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.

[ethan231h]

Posted: 6/11/17 at 9:19pm

This Groundhog Day number is driving me crazy. 

[poisonivy2]

Posted: 6/11/17 at 9:19pm

Andy Karl sure sounds fine though.

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

[asoftplacetoland]

Posted: 6/11/17 at 9:20pm

Andy Karl is a cutie. 

[JBC3]

Posted: 6/11/17 at 9:21pm

Karl sounded great but that number would not get me to the show.

They just said DHP and Bette Midler coming up in a performance from Hello Dolly...hmmmm
