What’s on the menu for Tony Sunday? I have no shame in admitting we’re DoorDashing a feast of Taco Bell 😆"
I make Tony Tacos every year!

Death of a Salesman is winning everything too.

Yeah, he is paying a lot of people off. It's despicable. Two Strangers is RIGHT there.

Alright - someone does it every year (and I'm happy to be that person if no one hasn't yet) - the pre-show was quite delightful. Titus and Laura were great. It was less than 40-minutes without commercials.
How - in a THREE HOUR BROADCAST - is there not room for these awards to be on the main televised show? The Special Awards all had lovely pre-recorded interviews - the speeches were wonderful - and the award doesn't lose it specialness. But give these folks their moment on the main program.
::rant over 'til next year: :)

Definitely looking like a big night for Schmigadoon and Salesman. Salesman is already winning things it wasn't necessarily a lock for so it could be set up for a huge sweep. Cats is looking strong too though Ragtime did grab the Sound Design.

It's the risk of people changing the channel. These awards are too niche for TV.

I don't disagree that is the thinking but it's real sily thinking. I could have understood that argument 20 years ago but at this point, no one is watching the Tonys besides the diehard fans. Maybe when it inevitably moves to streaming though, they just won't care and will just do a really long show.

No, you'd be surprised how many non-fans watch this just because Hollywood stars are on.

Wow 10/10 opening. Congrats to everyone for pulling that off! I only wish I could have made out every single lyric, but will definitely be rewatching that one!

Schmigadoon is performing first, which makes me doubt its Best Musical chances. Except for Moulin Rouge in 2021, no Best Musical winner has performed first in the 25 years I've been watching this show.

Pink is never someone who doesn't commit to what she is doing 110%

Great comment on Vulture about the opening number name-checking women:

This is just a successful version of what Ariana Debose tried to do.

Soo…Schmigadoon for the least effective performance?
