Very happy for Bourghzis win, he was fantastic, though he reminded us that a lecture is not an acceptance speech. Surprised they didnt honor Andre, but for the life of me I did not understand the hubbub over his performance. So, a pleasant surprise.
Is Alex Newell IN Chicago right now? That voice! I could have done without this long commercial for a show thats already made a trillion dollars, but it was fun. PINK would make a fantastic Velma...is that possibly going to happen? She killed that, and in general is just steamrolling through this with her undeniable talent.
Lesley Manville was excellent even though Carrie Coon really blew me away. This was her first time on Broadway? Is that possible? A class act.
Another intro-free performance for Rocky Horror? This is amateur hour and unfair to build up and introduce some shows to the national audience, and then throw us into others without a word? Outrageous.
Genuinely surprised they are letting Frank N Furters package on national TV before 10pm. This number encapsulates the strangeness of the production-- Magenta doesnt register at all, and Amber Gray is doing this almost graphic alien dialed up to 10. And even here, they are introducing celebrities to join them onstage, but without any word so it barely comes thru (it was Julianne Hough, Bowen Yang, Darren Criss, anyone else?)
