Still don't like the score.
That would have been really good without the sound issues. Too bad.
Yay Karen!!

Alice Ripley is so heartbreaking.
Yay Karen!!
Holy Crap. I want to see Next 2 Normal right now.
Sound and tempo issues aside that was a great performance from n2n.
my mom just told me that I made a great choice to pick Next to Normal when we go to NYC next july!
Carrie Fisher. Yikes - that hideous outfit!
The beginning sounded weird, but the "N2N" performance rocked... Aaron always sounds amazing !!!

amazing performance by n2n - granted the temp issues
N2N did great. Too bad about the sound.
I forgot to mention....Karen is the first performer from any Broadway production of WSS to win a Tony. Congrats! And as she said... many people said she couldn't do it. And now look! yay!

Great performance. My mom, who knows nothing about the show, said that Alice Ripley seemed like a very good actress.
Yay I'm seeing N2N next Saturday, and now I'm even more excited!
Even with the sound issues, i still "felt" that performance.
I wonder how that number read for people who don't know the show...
Congrats to Karen, but I still think Haydn deserved it by far.

HOLY SH*T CARRIE FISHER. Oh, God, I feel terrible for her. She's like three times the size she was on 30 Rock just last year.

The fact that they recovered from that complete loss of the rhythm is such a testament to their greatness.
Stupid sound issues.
ZONEACE, often for the Tonys, the orchestra will purposely speed up the tempo in order to get a whole number into the allotted time given to them. I've noticed this often in many past broadcasts.
Anyway, thoe were two wonderful speeches by both Gregory Jbara and Karen Olivo. Otherwise, I'm definitely missing some of the great moments/performances from years past.
I LOVE NPH!

"I wonder how that number read for people who don't know the show... "
I don't know the show, and I thought it was pretty good. Granted, with several relatives who are manic-depressive, just the thought of sitting through a show on the subject exhausts me. I get enough of it in real life. But the song was good and the performances were very good.
Great sushi joke, Neil.

Love Jessica Lange reminding everybody that that was makeup in "Grey Gardens."
