OMG, how dare OoTI perform! Alex Newell playing Mama Earth and showing interracial romantic relationships and showcasing black people? Won't the Tony producers think of mainstream America?

Alex killed that. My favorite performance of the night. So much joy!

He's just pissed he didn't get to sing Happy Birthday to his husband on national television.

Poor Jack Thorne. That was incredibly awkward.

I wish these message boards had a "like" button for posts, because I'd be using it quite a bit right now.

That number from OOTI showed how a small show should do a number on the Tony Awards. It was brilliant!

OOTI performance was great. Still not enough to save the show but lovely performance.

I wanted Michael Arden to win so badly. I thought he should've won for the Spring Awakening revival, honestly. Oh well..

Phenomenal performance. If I lived 200 miles closer to NY I’d buy tickets right now.

Oh man I hope so. That was my favorite performance of the night by far.

OOTI gave easily the best performance on the telecast so car.

Damn. David finally wins, and it's off the telecast."
What a bad year in musicals if they decide to reward Best Score off the main telecast. The only reason Best Book was on the main telecast was because CBS thought Tina Fey was going to win."
Isn't it typical for Best Score to be awarded during a commercial? I know that happened when Fun Home won in 2015.

What is wrong with OOTI? They had to bring the goats to Radio City? That is disgraceful.

The Tony Awards have mainstream America as their prisoner on this night? Has Tony kidnapped mainstream America and chained it up in a basement dungeon with a dog named Precious?
I knew I should have stopped reading after that, because the rest was one of the dumbest things I've read tonight, and I've read a lot of dumb things.

It was a wonderful, spirited performance by an incredible cast. I love Once on this Island, and I hope that performance makes people buy tons of tickets. They are so lovely.

Not watching the telecast, but I adored OotI, and am glad to see the consensus that they did a great show tonight. Can someone say what song they performed? Sounds like they went with "Mama Will Provide," which makes perfect sense.
