Sam Gold - thrilled but surprised. I thought this might be the one award they didn't win...

I don't remember "The Night They Invented Champagne" being so fast. Vanessa Hudgens was like a blur on that stage.

Well done, Gigi!!  That's the energy that OTT needed.  Hopefully this number will give Gigi a boost at the box office.....

after the the first few awards, I think it will be a Fun Home kind of night!

The only review of a show that matters is your own.

Ugh. That was more like "The Night They Invented Crystal Meth."

Beyond thrilled for the Fun Home team! 

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

GIGI didn't impress me - OTT did. To each his/her own.

Director switching Cameras & Perspectives for video of On The Town

They switched cameras and perspectives too quickly for me.  I think the model for photographing musicals for TV should be the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movies, not MTV.  When people are dancing, its better if we can see their full figure, feet to head.

The video selected to show us for GiGi was better.

GIGI's manic performance felt like they all took those pep pills from the Bye Bye Birdie movie before doing the number. Lordie, was that sped up.

"I don't remember "The Night They Invented Champagne" being so fast. Vanessa Hudgens was like a blur on that stage."

She was rushing...and by the end of her solo, she was ahead of the music. 

 

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

To each his or her own: I really disliked the Gigi number. Love its simplicity in the movie but felt this was ridiculously overdone.

I heard there were "creative additions" for this Fun Home performance. If you've seen the show what are your thoughts?

Fun home..."first all female writing team"?  What about Secret Garden's Lucy Simon (score) and Marsha Norman (book and lyrics)?

Still not sure if that was the right number to sell FUN HOME, but Lucas did a lovely job.

Way to undermine everything that just happened by having Kristin show up dressed as E.T.
