Spongebob really needed tonight to sell tickets

TBV really is sweeping tonight. Personally, I'm a huge Tina Landau fan, but David deserves it.

Loved the SpongeBob segment...but was strange that he wasn't the focus.
Loved the Frozen segment. I loved Patti Murin but covered my ears to "Let It Go" (the song is so annoying).
I was surprised that the women were excluded in that Carousel segment.

Nope.

Ugh, I wish Marianne and John could tie. They deserve it equally in my eyes.

Yeah...especially considering all the criticism the show was facing about the women characters.

Are the Tony Awards going to have to pay out their a$$ for Happy Birthday royalties now?

Happy Birthday entered public domain recently.

The lyrics were ruled public domain in 2016.

Ok we get it, Happy Birthday is now in the public domain...

Nice "In Memoriam" performance from DEH. Sad to learn that this was Will Roland's last performance with the cast, seeing as his last show was earlier today.

I'm never going to get over or, honestly, forgive the people who made the choice to not dim the lights for Jan.
That was abhorrent, tacky, and something that forgive/forget doesn't cover. I'll never be able to respect the dimming of the lights ceremony again until the current administration is gone.
