Bathroom break!

"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."

i refrain from saying anything about Fela's performance for fear of being called racist.

I didn't enjoy Fela. I sort of zoned out.

Wouldn't have mattered what part of Fela! they would have performed. What you just saw is the entire show repeated for 2 hours ad nauseum.

Poor Jsn Maxwell! I really thought she had it for the "featured actress" category.

And was it me or did Scarlett Johansen give s REALLY long speech and not get rushed? It was like "if we are going to give the movie star an award, then keep her onstage as long as we can!"

"And Best Actor in Play "to Grace Us with Their Presence on a Broadway Stage this year" goes to...
"

Give me a break. he has never missed. he has been to every pre-Tony event. He deserved the award.

to others about Viola not thanking him. She thanked the cast. he is a part of the cast. she was emotional and probably shocked. no big whoop

Yay for Viola and Denzel-- Her acceptance speech was really touching !

I would have been ok with Molina winning as well- Brilliant in "Red"-

Can anyone tell me the name of the older actress who was sitting two rows behind Denzel?

Her name escapes me at the moment.
