Team Finneran!

Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

In regards to the Fela performance here's what I'm guessing happened.


At the beginning of the number they were lip-synching. Then when they got to the girl's solo, it went live to her mic. But the problem was they thought she was done, and cut off her mic about 10 seconds to early. And instead we got to hear La Cage backup dancers warming up instead of the girl singing.

Wow... two English directors. Can u believe that? And so far so good with the winner. Well, Jan still got leading role. So, that maybe the reason!

I didn't think a speech could top Marian Seldes' BUT KATIE FINNERAN'S DID!!

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Glad that Katie Finneran won.

Um...where's Team Lansbury to tell us all how disgusted they are?

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Team Johansson AND Team Finneran! Loved that they are both winners tonight.

I wonder whether it's Radio City Hall's problem? You know, some venues just have serious sound problem for ages, and no one can do about it.

I think that Memphis has had the best performance thus far. Except for Derrick Baskin, he always looks so stiff...

Memphis... probably the most promising performance so far by a most ordinary/underwhelming cast.
