Can't wait for them to start here. I had hoped to go to them this year as today is my birthday but a little thing called the recession happened and those plans got scrapped. So it is me, my tv and a bottle of wine!

Jessica Lange looks the best she ever has. Wow!

What a downer the woman before her though, sheesh.

Is Donna Karger coked out?

So far this is an utter fiasco! It's ten after 7 and they're still on the red carpet when we should be seeing the creative awards!

WELCOME TO THE TONYS.

And the first joke was funny... at least they're off to a classy start with these two fantastic performers.

Stokes was an amazing Sweeney and he def. should come back to Bway... maybe in ANYONE CAN WHISTLE? He'd make a good Hapgood.

Can there... really be a tie?

[feline0favenueQ]

Posted: 6/7/09 at 7:10pm

OMG, yay for N2N! I just screamed.

[Yankeefan007]

Posted: 6/7/09 at 7:10pm

Well, obviously?

[Pgenre]

Posted: 6/7/09 at 7:11pm

HOLY CRAP! A TIE!

The first award is a tie... that is one of, what, six or seven in the history of the show?

FIORELLO/SOUND OF MUSIC and TOMMY/KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN score are the only ones I can think of off-hand.

The set looks cool this year too. Love the skewed skyline and the neon and blues.

Laura Benanti is unbelievably sexy.

I think we have a Fay and Hapgood for ANYONE CAN WHISTLE.

P

P.S. My final prediction: N2N best score, BE best musical.

Watching the pre-telecast awards webstream. Anyone know what music the orchestra (which sounds spectacular, btw) was playing as the winner of the Tony for Best Lighting Design for a Play took the stage? I want to say it was maybe from Light in the Piazza?

Laura Benanti's Tina Fey impression is pretty amusing.
