Disagree. Cats shat the bed. I hope it wins best revival because otherwise it’s not gonna be around after that.

By sucking."
Yeah that was terrible. Top to bottom. Embarrassing. Marla’s voice was real rough. Not good when you’re playing Celine Dion and on National television.

Also: Anna W covering her face so she wouldn't be seen on national TV? On brand.

I was worried that would be a problem. It just didn’t, and maybe can’t, replicate the excitement of seeing it on stage.

fwiw, Mindelle was vocally outstanding when I saw her in previews. I agree that she sounded harsh--if not unpleasant--here--its a tough role.

So happy for Shoshana.
Jellicle Ball was fun. A bit slow in the middle. Loved all of the fans in the audience though! Didn't really make me want to see the show though. So far I enjoyed "Titanique's" performance the most.
This season made me miss not being back there since I moved back west. And overall I feel this year's broadcast just has a wonderful energy to it.

I’m very late to the party (watching videos on the Tony IG) but damn, that was a fantastic opening number. So much fun.

I loved Giant, but not sad at all that Liberation won. This season was so awful for musicals and so lovely for plays.

Agree with the camera work on the cats performance. It was almost like they hadn’t rehearsed it. Still excited to be at the show on Tuesday.

Mazel tov to Shoshana Bean. Im hard pressed to think of many as talented, as present in the Bway universe, as well-loved and hard working... love that she called out the perennially overlooked Paul Nolan. And her speech made me cry so kudos all around.
(I know people are saying this is long overdue, but her strongest work, I think, was in roles for which she wasnt eligible--Hairspray, Wicked, Waitress, etc.)
CATS isnt my thing but this energy is just infectious. Great to see the swings participating, smart to highlight the choreo.... at this point it feels like Ragtime would be an upset (and I say that as someone who thought Ragtime was superior). I laughed out loud when they cut to ALW and Anna Wintour, but Wintour had her sign hiding her whole face.
i do not love this out-of-order silliness re the awards. We now have Best Play but not Best Actress or Best Supporting Actor?
No surprise re Liberation, though it reminds me that as fine as Metcalf was, Betsy Aidem continues to rip my guts out in everything she does. Get her a leading role stat. I really dig seeing Bess Wohl draped by FEMALE producer badasses, and highlighting Whitney White as she picks up the first Tony since the late great Wendy Wasserstein. "May you speak your truth and may the world be wise enough to listen." THATS a speech.
Was John Leguizamo's mention of the Knicks that first time we got a sports call out at the Tony awards?
Tutty is a treasure (and heres an actor whose voice is struggling but he able to make it work). This show deserved more love is my takeaway. It was clever and sweet and flew by. What more do we need, really?

It was WONDERFUL and John was so rude introducing. That is what should win best musical, two people creating an incredibly interesting, heartbreaking, heartwarming, perfect story with the most charming character of the entire season. Perfection.

No she was there. She's been posting from Radio City all day.

Nope, he sounded great. The entire cast of Titanique will take your note though.
