Going back to the earlier Matilda performance, I noticed Oona's bit at the start is in a much higher key than how it's usually sung in the show.. does anyone know why they'd do that?

MMm that Matilda book writer is cute!

How f**king stupid do you have to be to not go to the microphone that the presenters just announced your win at?
Considering your mental state in the moment and the mammoth size of that stage and theatre, and a microphone set up right where you walk up to the stage, I'd say it's a pretty easy mistake. There should have been a better effort at ushering them to the correct microphone. I'd probably be so amped up on adrenaline, endorphind, booze, caffeine and Xanax, I'd walk into a camera, trip on the steps, go to the wrong microphone, drop an f-bomb, forget my speech and walk off left instead of right.
Jesus, they're just PEOPLE. It happens.

BL5965, so they can transition to "Revolting Children" in the medley.

It's really nice to see the Tonys spreading the love this year! Doesn't happen very often. Also, I'm shocked PIPPIN hasn't won more awards so far. I thought for sure it would take a few of the awards KINKY BOOTS did. This is gonna be a nail-biter right up until Best Musical is announced.

They have to stand for Hal. He's like the Godfather.

Anyone else think it looks like the Phantom is lip-synching?

Oh, you've got to be kidding me. Hal Prince just introduced the longest running show in Broadway history and then they get up there and lip sync? What a joke.

Oh, dear. I'm not digging this Phantom at all. Sounds like he's on helium. Love her, but it's like a lesbian duet.

Lip Syncing is what Phantom does. Like 40% of the show is lip syncing.
