MARY TESTA needs to STAR in a show. The woman is divine!!! God, I miss Xanadu...

I remember Walter Bobbie's fabulous performance of Sit Down You're Rockin' The Boat on the Tony Awards. It was the best. This one is dreadful.

While there have been many sound issues that looked like it was a mic issue and not a soundman mistake.

That said, I will join the mob!

And there's your reason why this production of Guys and Dolls will not have a cast recording; it sucks.

Though I do like that Guys and Dolls song, I wish they would have chosen something showcasing the four main characters. I haven't heard much from the production and I'd like to see them in action.

Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

LOL! Won't we all get alcohol poisoning???

I once heard someone describe her (Ruthie Henshall) singing as sounding as though she's trying to swallow a whole meatball slightly larger than her windpipe. (The same person compared Michael Ball's singing to sounding as though he's sitting on a washing machine on spin cycle and Colm Wilkinson's to a man with a paralyzed lip trying to eat cottage cheese.) --- Schmerg_The_Impaler

The Emmys roll around and some award show always gets an Emmy. NOT THIS ONE.

Although Neil Patrick Harris deserves one for not giving up and going home.

Spork- No you do not. Trust us. There is a reason they were not showcased in this performance.

So far, there has been not a single show represented I would choose to go see based solely on it's segment on the Tonys. Let us see if Hair delivers.

Those Blocked: SueStorm. N2N Nate. Good riddence to stupid! Rad-Z, shill begone!

"Though I do like that Guys and Dolls song, I wish they would have chosen something showcasing the four main characters. I haven't heard much from the production and I'd like to see them in action."

My thoughts exactly.

I dont get it, without a book, there is no musical!!

It all makes sense now.

Guys and Dolls has stayed a-float so long entirely because of Mary Testa belt-power.
