If you look up "fierce" in the dictionary, there's a picture of Patti.

I totally got chills at the end of that number.

i thought the phantom part was archive footage from the 1988 tony awards (1988?); then whpoopi appeared....best moment of my life.

Agree on Laura. Saw the show on May 30 and was as impressed by her as I was with Patti. Patti's one of those forces of nature who straddles the line between genius and ham, while Laura is so freaking delicate and subtle.

So far, this is a better Tonys then previous years, by far.

Gypsy was the first number to actually showcase the show well and excite the audience. good for them!

I guess Patti's toe was atill hurting and that's why she was yelling do much, during and after the number.

Patti was amazing! Whoopi in Phantom: Just priceless but sooo wrong.

Was someone yelling something when people were going nuts for Patti LuPone? It sounded like someone over a microphone. I have an ear infection so it was muffled even with the volume up.

They're showing the audience because she got a standing ovation.

I'm switching to Ratatouille during the commercials. This is ridiculous.

PATTI LuPONE!!!! She's so extraordinary! Her win later tonight (she better) is what I am waiting for the most! I'm hosting a tony party and all eight of us went WILD with applause after her performance - the single best performance all season IMO!

I thought Patti was brilliant. I've seen it 4 times now and want to see it again!

I am SO in the minority for that GYPSY performance, but that's okay. lol

WHOPPI should always host

-- "Well she won't have to worry about getting hungry during the show, what with all that scenery chewing she just did"

F*ck off. Were you even watching the number?

That was incredible. Brava!

Julie Chen has what to do w/ Broadway?

Seriously? You need to get out more...

Patti was incredible and I am so glad they chose that song. They got to do dialogue, and have Laura and Boyd up there. Also, it was different because usually Gypsy productions do Rose's Turn.

I love the look back montage!

That play montage was cool. The footage looked like film. I liked the look of it.
