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.

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.

"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.

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.

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!

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.

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.
