I don't hate, but I don't love the opening so far. Too slow, in my opinion.

What the hell was up with Felas performance, did anyone experience the out of sync of her voice?

Worst lip-syncing ever. You'd think Broadway performers would perform live. Sheesh.

It sounded like a dying cat.

I'm a professional. Whenever something goes wrong on stage, I know how to handle it so no one ever remembers. I flash my %#$&. "Jayne just sat there while Gina flailed around the stage like an idiot."

I think all the dogs and cats in the tri-state radius went hiding under beds when that Fela chick did that freaking screech.

I'm not interested in American Idiot at all, but I have to say Green Day made this better. I love Holiday though, so I might just be biased to the song.

Yeah, those are certainly Nazi-esque.

Way to be out of sync Fela. Oh, and why does Green Day get a prime spot in the opening?

Having Green Day perform disgusts me. Let the cast have more stage time. It may be there music, but that doesn't mean they should perform it. This has turned into Green Day Live from NYC.

You guys can bitch all you want, but this may very well get the best ratings of any first-half-hour of a Tony Awards show ever.

Was that Betty White I saw clapping to "Know Your Enemy"?

Oh christ, the clapping is getting out of synch more than the Fela! performance.

Wow Fela! I didn't hate the show when I saw it but that performance was something else. Also I get they're using Green Day to drag in viewers but two songs?
This opening was way too slow.

doesn't the audience look so into it during Green Day Live At Radio City? Nathan Lane looked like he was loving it. Idina at the end of was priceless.
