Is Marla’s voice always like this?

By sucking.

Very sad, I really adored it but probably announcing closing tomorrow.

I’m just guessing that they cut him for time. Lithgow’s speech ran very long.

Alexander Lamar said: "I don’t know what happened with Adrien, that was incredibly strange. Is that how he did it at dress?"

He's just pissed his terrible play got no love.

Titanique seems fun but I am not a fan of Marla Mindelle’s voice. I wonder if they do close if there is a chance for them to transfer back off-Broadway.

I think Adrien Brody didn’t say anything because it’s a bit of him speaking too much in his Oscar acceptance speech

If Rachel Zegler is performing later, I wish they would have picked someone else to present. Just a personal preference, but I don’t like when award shows have people do double duty like that.

They never made money off-broadway and aren't making money on broadway. It's going to licensing.

Audio has sounded off across the board (I remember it happening last year too (Water for Elephants got hosed by it)

first hour recap:



I thought the opening number was hard to understand lyric wise, but PINK was fantastic in it and in her monologue after. nice little call outs to the cameos from this season-- Mulvaney, Megan Thee Stallion, etc. Good energy.

Maya and Cole hilarious, but I found my heart sinking when Lithgow’s name was called over Nathan Lane. In the weeks since I’ve seen both of them, Lane’s performance has stayed with me in ways few others have. No slight to Lithgow, though. He was smart to call our appreciation for GIANT here because i think thats the end of them for the night...

Schmigadoon was fine- I’m not sure they really sold the parody element to the average viewer; only Ana Gasteyer sold that element well.

What the hell was Adrien Brody’s intro to Ragtime? No one intro’d him, and he had nothing to say about the show? Was that a glitch of some sort? The performance itself was solid—theyre pretty much sold out for the rest of the run, and why not show the genius of the opener?

Marla Mindelle sounded rough—they all did, really. The humor came through but the musical element did not—yikes. (And I thought they all sounded incredible when I saw them during previews). Layton Williams would have sold more tickets and still would have allowed Mindelle to do her intro shtick.

Ariana DeBose enters and everyone screams NOOOOOO

God damn Megan is stunning.

Shoshana finally getting her damn award. Amen.
