They usually switch with Best Book some years. Last year, Pasek and Paul won on the telecast and Steven Levenson won off it.

The Tonys get this wrong every year, The theater community, which all would admit has cultural and societal values still very different from the mainstream, seems to feel that, since it has mainstream America as its prisoner on this night, it can flaunt its differentvalues in the face of viewers.
The Broadway theater industry does not enjoy financial backing at a level sufficient to permit it to ignore the sensibilities of its Tony audience...."
The way I see it, the rest of the country is our guest tonight and we are letting them in to our community for the evening. If they don't like what they see, they are welcome to turn the channel.

Also, Nathan Lane's "I just can't with you" face at the goat during their performance was so priceless.

Why did they award Best Play before Best Revival? Is that normal?

Hands DOWN OOTI was the best performance of the night. This performance had everything. Color, energy, Nathan Lane dissing a goat.

Who knows why they choose the order the way they do? It's always weird.

And OlBlueEyes has been spewing weird racist thoughts on another thread and now weird homophobia on this thread. Just ignore him. Probably some old never-has-been in Astoria sweating as they huff at their computer.

Out of all the shows, My Fair Lady and Once on this Island gave the best performances so far. Brings the point home that they don't make them like they used to anymore.

Oh, I thought you were saying it was disrespectful to Radio City.

Josh Groban is the James Franco of awards shows. Please just sing, Josh.
The only review of a show that matters is your own.

I know what you mean, but can we not support the narrative that musical theatre is over because we're having an iffy season this year?

Yes next season is looking much better with the Cher Show, an Alanis musical, King Kong and a Go Go's musical...

Let's say you're right: this season sucked and next season does, too. Even two bad seasons for new musical theatre in a row means nothing. Last season and the season before never happened I guess...

If more shows like The Band's Visit were coming out with more regularity, then I'd be with you.

I didn't care much for the bands visit when I saw it and don't think it deserved all of these awards and just don't see how that performance is gonna get everyone to rush out to buy tickets after seeing that. Meh.

How about "deeply offend their religious values" ? I guess there no Tolerance in this "inclusive community" for that kind of diversity. It's not called bigotry, it's called keep your private affairs private. If you cannot conceive of the possibility of someone sincerely believing that gay marriage is wrong, then maybe you are the delicate one, snowflake.

I agree. I haven't listened to/seen the show, but that performance definitely did not go well.
