Posted: 6/9/13 at 9:03pmI'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.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 9:03pmI 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.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 9:04pmI'll be shocked if Lilla's mom doesn't demand to introduce her daughter's performance.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 9:04pmDon't see the hate for Motown- thought they did a great job. Cinderella was absolutely fantastic, though.
#257The Official TONY Awards Thread
Posted: 6/9/13 at 9:04pmAgree 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?

Posted: 6/9/13 at 9:05pmNot 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!

"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

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.
