When Tony time comes in a few hours, this is the place to post your thoughts, complaints, celebrations or other exclamations on the broadcast minute-by-minute.
Happy Tony night, everyone!

Posted: 6/15/08 at 11:06amIs it true Best Revival of Play is off the telecast? If so, that sucks.
With Clay Aiken in Spamalot, all of Broadway is singing a collective "There! Right! There!" -Me-

Posted: 6/15/08 at 11:08amSo excited! I'm also excited for the "At The Tonys" which is on at 12 on CBS! I really hope IN The Heights win Best Musical and as many awards as possible! And I really wanna see Patti sing the National Anthem!

Posted: 6/15/08 at 11:13amMost shows don't have Sunday night shows. Ones that do most likely use understudies. Matinees still go on as planned, though.

Ugh.

Posted: 6/15/08 at 1:46pmAs far as I can tell, the first awards are only going to be broadcast via webcast on the tonyawards.com website starting at 7:10.

and a reminder....
Tonight after the show or tommorow.. I will suggest to skip BWW bec. there will be a lot of unnecesary threads on Why this show won? Why did she/he win? Someone got robbed!
People will get into fights....or starts spamming the board again (I hope not!) REMEMBER YOU HAVE another CHOICE! ~that is NOT TO RESPOND or IGNORE it....
Everyone has their favorite and of course their 'opinions' and remember the TONYS is a POPULARITY CONTEST!
I myself will take a break tonite and tommorow.. I might post Congratulatory notes here and there....but DEFINITELY wont participate in any of these dramas tonight or tommorow! Break-a-Leg to all the nominees!
Stay cool and dont take it personal and NO ONE will get ROBBED tonight, its a POPULARITY contest!! whoever campaigned more will win or whoever has a lots of friends or least enemies will win! ~that's the way it goes!

Posted: 6/15/08 at 2:00pmOK I'm sure it's probably blatantly obvious and I overlooked it, but is the pre-awards show televised? And if so, where can I watch it? Thank you!
