My sister (who knows nothing of theater) walked in and watched the song just because she thought he was cute. So, that's a win for the Tony's!

Had no interest in seeing KA before that performance… and still don’t. Pass. Although, I fully expect it to win.

This was such a smart choice!! Explains the name, explains the plot, and is heart warming and also tugs at the heart! Cried my eyes out. Hope it wins!

I bumped into him last week and chatted with him for a bit and congratulated him on the nomination. He is a sweetheart.

Really, I was just listening, not watching and she sounded awful to me.

I thought "Anagram" played way better than I thought it would. It told the premise of the show, it allowed us to see the incredible chemistry Victoria Clark and Justin Cooley have (not to mention their undeniable charm). It's a better-written song than "This Time," which I assumed is what they were going to do.

I also like that the performances have been given time to breathe a little and some of them have included dialogue leading into the number.

·        A Beautiful Noise made me cringe but hey, they gotta sell those tickets, more power to em.  And if Neil Diamond isn’t in the theater live, I’m guessing its because he can’t be, unfortunately.

 

·        If you think back to February, did anyone think Parade would win this? It really was a special production at the perfect moment. Whoever played off Jason Robert Brown gets shot for a montage about a show that closed, right? That’s how that works?

 

·        Give Joaquina a chance to rehabilitate her last Tony performance and she delivers.

 

·        Aaron Rodgers is at this show. I need to see his reaction shots to everything.

 

·        J Harrison Ghee was the heart of this show and really brought something special to this that I think would be hard for any other performer to replicate. Congrats congrats.

 

·        I still think Laura Linney’s absence from this category is almost comical. Nice job by Comer pretending to be overwhelmed getting an award she knew she’d get. I really need to see this.

As Jordan Catalano noted earlier, she likely would have if there was no writer's strike.

 

I love “Anagram” but I think “This Time” would’ve made much more sense. 

That Shucked number didn't make me want to see it.

We hated it! So bad. No desire seeing it.
