This may be a dumb question, but was Mandy Gonzalez in the Tonys performance? I've been rewatching it and I can't find her!

I don't think she was - I looked too but couldn't find her

did you know asmeret who plays pilar in legally blonde was an u/s for vanessa and did go on a few times in the role.

Asmeret went on in both her Carla and Vanessa u/s tracks when Heights was off-Bway.

Mandy's not in 96,000.

Andrea's husband is the new artistic director for the Hangar Theater in Ithaca, NY.
I don't know if anyone else cares about this, but I'm from Ithaca and I have a history with the Hangar so this is exciting for me! lol

Man, I loved Lin's acceptance speech. I also love his little interview with LBB on the BWW TV.

Guess I have to try lotto tomorrow... try is the keyword. Here we go!

Congratulations "In the Heights"
People may be surprised/angered that PS didn't win, but I see nothing wrong with the freshest, most enjoyable show on Broadway in a looooong time winning the big one

Was Asmeret not asked to transfer with the show to Broadway?

She was already in Legally Blonde.

did anyone catch Chris and Mandy doing "When You're Home" on the CBS The Early SHow this morning? They sounded good, and I don't just mean for 8:45am the morning after the Tonys, lol, I mean they sounded good- I enjoyed it here much more than on the Tonys Preview Concert. Small interview with Lin starts off the segment.
"In The Heights" Does It Early

In this video of the tony performance, at 2:03, it looks like Mandy running across, and also at 3:21 I thought I saw her.

So it kind of just occurred to me that this makes two years in a row that Krysta Rodriguez has performed at the Tonys and as a part of the winner for best musical. That's pretty freaking awesome for her!

And add me to the list of those jealous of anyone at the Richard Rodgers tonight...

Sending my love tonight, even if I can't be there in person. Mucho amor y exito a todos.

Random, but I'm really annoyed at Broadway.com for misquoting Lin's speech. He didn't say "This is for Abuela Risa in Puerto Rico". It's "This is for ABUELO WISIN, and for Puerto Rico". How hard was that to understand, Broadway.com?

And for anyone interested, the headline in one of PR's newspapers yesterday was "En las alturas". :)

I was also annoyed by that
