Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:39pmI do feel like the shows are making incredibly poor song choices so far. The bit with Matthew Morrison was funny though

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:39pmMatt Morrison and Will Smith's reactions were better than the actual performance.

"I think Scarlet's win was more of a "welcome to the club" kind of thing. Hollywood star braves the Broadway stage and makes good and all that.'
So I don't understand how you would explain CZJ's loss? (if she loses).

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:40pmEnjoyed La Cage. Hodge is a trip but his singing is a little subpar...maybe it's supposed to be for the character?? Don't know much about the show, but (unlike FELA) this performance would move to possibly see it.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:41pmsomething about the whole number just felt off. The enthusiam and ebullience that causes Albin to remove his wig was so lacking. It was like take wig off in 3...2...1...

I agree there was something a little awkward about it....but it's just taking it out of context I guess?

Eddie Redmayne has been on-screen with the likes of Matt Damon and Angelina Jolie, but you would not hear the same "welcome to the club" being said about him. Sure he is not a "star" but this could certainly get him roles in Hollywood.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:44pmMost performances are a little off when seen in this content and not part of the show, they have to get as many of the cast on as they can even when they aint in the number in the show etc. I thought Hodge was brilliant, yes his voice is not the best but his performance is brilliant, i thought the number was fun

There's something off about the entire show, Hodge's performance being front and center. Like PJ said, it actually was very moving at one time.

There is really nothing left to the imagination in this year's Tonys.
Oooooooooh, Nine jab.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:46pmStrange song choice from La Cage. Would of loved to see I am What I am.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:46pmah yes, i remember it well. however, i might never get the image of Sean Hayes in his Billy Elliot homage out of my head.

First of all, regarding LA CAGE, it was difficult to do this number in context out of context. When Grammer introduced the scene, the words didn't hit. And the ending of taking off the wig therefore made no sense.
Secondly, it didn't help at all that the camera angles worked against them. The camera shots didn't exactly capture it best (as best as a live experience can be captured on film).

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:47pmIs there ANY chance that RED will extend? I really would love to get to see it!
The Official 2010 Tony Awards Discussion Thread#219
Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:47pmWell, I got excited last year for most shows, so these performaces are supposed to do something positive for them.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:47pmi understand it is hard to work out of context but it didn't have to hit the deck with a thud.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:47pmMaybe the performances seem a little off because their usual venue is not as big as RCMH- I mean that place is HUGE!

Why did he not look at anyone?
YAY LA CAGE!

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:49pmthat didn't seem to hurt all the shows performing in years past.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 8:49pmWell that win for La Cage definitely does not look good juxtaposed moments after the number.
