Because you are more likely to see her understudy - like I have in three of the roles she has (supposedly) played. The last time was Moulin Rouge - no announcement beforehand, and no insert before the performance. The only indicator was the actor board in the lobby that I missed on my arrival. And before you ask it was NOT one of her two understudy's scheduled days.

I was so angry I contacted the production company who comped a ticket a few days later with a "hope" that she would be there.

Can you not watch CBS live on Paramount Plus?

She’s over it"

Most people think the feeling is mutual. And I already posted this but where is my hate coming from? Three understudy performances in the roles she (supposedly) played. One of them in Moulin Rouge, and no it was not a prescheduled understudy performance date.

I dont think anyone hates Karen Olivo, gosh but she isnt the most well liked performer among her peers/co stars, and has made sure to come off insufferably in every media post/interview she has given. I also think the idea that she "left broadway" repeatedly makes her kinda silly-- how many performers have quietly stopped auditioning/taking calls without dramatically seeking the attention?

shes just tiring. but i've seen her give some incredible performances. not denying her talent.

I'm sorry for those who weren't able to see it on Paramount Plus, but that was really a great telecast. The performances were strong and Audra did a wonderful job. The production value was high too especially in comparison to so many disastrous pandemic-era award shows. I didn't really care about many of the nominees/winners, I only saw Moulin Rouge of the nominated shows because I was last in the city in Summer 2019, but it was a really enjoyable watch. Looking forward to the next part!

This really is infuriating. So you force everyone to get Paramount+...then the primetime show...you don't even air live. What a disaster for the TONYs and CBS.

Angie Schworer and Rachelle Rak! LOVE.

Great opening. I spied Karla Garcia and Tanairi Vazquez - two of Leslie's former Hamilton castmates - in the dancers' ensemble!

Who is sitting next to Bernadette? Is it the fellow who does interviews on This web site?

I love seeing Bernadette dancing and having fun in the house. So sweet.
