"Barbara Cook looks like she's wearing the amazing Technicolor dreamcoat."
My sister's wondering why I am lmao.

She also wondered initially if CZJ was supposed to be singing in another language.

Didn't Ms. Cook wear that dress-thing a few years ago on the TONY's when she presented with Paul Shaffer?

I think she did.

There have been many events at Radio City broadcast on television, including every single Tony Awards telecast since 200(3?). Only this and last year have problems with the sound occurred (with the exception of possibly one or two tiny instances I may not be remembering).

I would LOVE an explanation of what the issues are. Apparently everyone in-house can hear fine and don't notice anything (not difficult in that large venue. You can whisper and it would echo everywhere!).

"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."

THAT was one of the most bizarre interpretations of "Send In The Clowns" I've ever seen.

If CZJ wins best actress, it will be a complete shame. That was probably the worst musical performance I've seen all season. Granted I didn't see the revival, buy I wouldn't see that performance even if I was paid to do so. Does she think singing is only about overenunciating consonants? I just loved her turning the word "next" at the end of the song into a two syllable word. That was nothing but a snoozefest. And last time I saw so much obvious, affected, and embarrassing emoting was by a typical community theater diva.
