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.

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

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!

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.

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