Oh to be a fly on the wall backstage when Patti and Bernadette crossed paths. And Bernadette gets to present the biggest award of the night over Patti. Yikes.
Please, they have done so many events together...

Posted: 6/9/13 at 11:00pmI haven't seen Kinky boots or Matilda so its hard for me to comment on this. I really have been slacking on seeing the newer shows

Posted: 6/9/13 at 11:02pmCan we all come to agreement right now that Lin is a one trick pony?

Posted: 6/9/13 at 11:02pmI never thought I'd see Audra McDonald perform "Empire State of Mind" with Doogie Houser while Mike Tyson is projected on a giant screen behind them. So glad I got to experience this before I die.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 11:02pmThis is SO FUNNY.
"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

I been saying it from day one! So is NPH. Poor Audra.
I guess CBS will justify the terrible ratings with the competition of Game of the Thrones finale.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 11:04pmI loved the mic drop. This was overall a really solid show this year. Good for them!

Posted: 6/9/13 at 11:04pmOverall, I thought it was a good show (I missed the first half hour or so). So glad Cicely Tyson won.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 6/9/13 at 11:05pmPersonally thought it was a great show!! So happy for Cyndi, Jerry, Billy, Patina, Andrea, the Kinky team, Cinderella for costumes and Vanya...! And any Tony Awards that end with Audra have to be great.
#772The Official TONY Awards Thread
Posted: 6/9/13 at 11:05pmAll in all, this was a really good show. I honestly thought some performances were stronger than others, but mostly everything was well done. I guess to me, nothing made me want to change the channel or yell at my tv for being horrible.

I'll be honest, a few things bugged me, but it was the best ceremony they've had since Whoopi hosted.
So thrilled for Tracy Letts, really. The world would go 'round if he lost, but that performance was so worthy of recognition.

A little disappointed Matilda didn't take the big prize but not too surprised.
Loved seeing Audra at the end!
Overall, a few wonderful surprises (yay Tracy!!!), a much improved over last year Neil Patrick Harris, and an enjoyable show overall.
Congratulations to all the winners!
Scratch and claw for every day you're worth!
Make them drag you screaming from life, keep dreaming
You'll live forever here on earth.
