I'm sorry, wait a minute - that was Mitchell's boyfriend? Really disappoints me in him, although I'm not really one of those that believes in "age ain't nothing but a number". Never in my life have I seen a relationship with that large of an age difference end well. Not once.

I really wanted to like that, but it was a mess, save for Saycon. Why didn't Valisia, or Charl perform? Very poor decision

"Motown" would be a last resort. I like all the songs but there's no story. I love that Diane and Pam won! WOOT!

"That's Jerry Mitchell's boyfriend."

The twinky redhead sitting next to him? Let me correct that a little bit:

That's Jerry Mitchell's boyfriend.

And Motown's performance was fine. Cute, well-sung, a good amount of energy.

Wow, Kinky won choreography?!

I'll be shocked if Lilla's mom doesn't demand to introduce her daughter's performance.

Don't see the hate for Motown- thought they did a great job. Cinderella was absolutely fantastic, though.

Agree that Cinderella is the best so far....Bring It On was horrible. I heard great things about the "Michael Jackson" from Motown, but I was not impressed. Matilda---couldn't understand their words.

UM where in the world is NPH? JTF other smug gay is here to steal your act!

"crewship"?


I don't like it, either, but my guess is, if you have the same actors introduce as themselves, most people wouldn't make the connection to why they are there.

It was said that CBS really wanted to push for the commercialization of the Tonys -- this is certainly nailing it.

Not the first time for two women directors to win on the same night - in 1998, Garry Hynes became the first women ever to win a Tony for direction for the play The Beauty Queen Of Leenane, and seconds later, Julie Taymor scooped the Tony for direction of a musical for Lion King. First time since then though probably!

Jesus, what is that BOY, 18-years-old?

"Straight wedding cake?" Tacky. Jane looks phenomenal, though.

Bawling my eyes out for Cyndi Lauper right now. My house just erupted in cheers.

[TheatreFan4]

GO CYNDI! SHE CANNOT HOLD IT! OH MY GOD!

[LuminousBeing]

Posted: 6/9/13 at 9:07pm

"Girl, you're gonna have fun tonight," he said. CYNDI IS ADORABLE!

Um first woman to win this award and people aren't on their feet????

Give her an ovation people!

[shrekster224]

Very glad for Cyndi.

[South Fl Marc]

Cyndi won, I am so glad. She's bringing tears to my eyes.

So undeserved and doesn't make any sense. Congratulations for being the first female Tony Award winner for score I guess. Hmmm, maybe it does make sense....

She should go and teach those girls in Annie how to speak.

OH MY GOD. I absolutely love this woman. This is one of my favorite speeches I've seen. True legend.
