Why on earth wasn't this number on the Christmas Story cast album?!

(Which, incidentally, was my favorite present this past Christmas. Wonderful score! I kind of wish they'd featured "Somewhere Hovering Over Indiana" since that's my favorite song on the CD.)

Christmas Story looks so dumb. Great Energy but mediocre song. I wouldn't pay 2 dollars to see it.

I saw Jake sitting in the audience. Behind Paulus (maybe?)

I'm praying so hard Kristine Nielsen is about to win her first Tony.

So very happy about the lighting design! I was *amazed* by it from the second I walked into the theatre!

I assume they want to throw out a "big award" earlier to keep people watching.

A Christmas story was just perfection! Dare I say it was the most impressively performed number of the evening so far.

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.

Yes. The true indicator of the quality of material on Broadway is Tony broadcast award placement.

Christmas Story showed the high quality of the show. Cell phone bit was hilarious and even funnier if you saw Vanya.

Wait, that's not the broadway Simba, and that's also not the Simba who stood next to Mufasa earlier. The one from earlier is the Broadway Simba.
