The fact they present Best Play so early in the eve shows how low broadway has sunk and how it's all about crap musicals.

well, they are making us wait for ALL the Leading performances.
And, I'm pretty sure CBS had a hand in the order. The large percentage of those watching, care more about the musicals.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Posted: 6/9/13 at 9:43pmNever work with children or pets. This was the season of children's musicals for sure.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 9:45pmugh is this a touring production? I guess they were avoiding too much Christmas.
#413The Official TONY Awards Thread
Posted: 6/9/13 at 9:45pmSo bizarre how early best play was presented - before even revival of best play. It was all so rushed.

I liked Sandy. His fuzzy face reminds me of my dog.
Too bad I hate the movie of A Christmas Story. This isn't too bad either. I just hate the movie with a passion.

Is that Cyndi Lauper?
Caroline O'Connor???
"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

Posted: 6/9/13 at 9:47pmThey should have had Patty Lupone host this as Mama Rose. All these damn kid acts.
#421The Official TONY Awards Thread
Posted: 6/9/13 at 9:47pmI would see "A Christmas Story" and originally I rolled my eyes at the thought of it. But didn't Pasek and Paul drastically revise it before it came to Broadway?

Posted: 6/9/13 at 9:47pmIt won't win, but Christmas Story was the best musical!

I'm not crazy about the movie either, but absolutely adored the show! I probably would have voted for it for Best Musical if I were a voter. You should give it a chance next holiday season! I'm certainly happy I did.
