"They're rarely funny"
Ain't that the truth.
"But I enjoy them."
So you're the one.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 8:21pmJudith is magical. As much as I wanted Shalita, this is very well deserved.

When are awards shows ever genuinely funny...? Save for this past years' Golden Globes. He's hardly "dying." He's doing fine with what he's being given.
Anyway, yay for Judith! What a great past three years onstage for her. Three nominations and two wins!

Posted: 6/9/13 at 8:22pmI'm thrilled for Judith Light. She was outstanding in ASSEMBLED PARTIES

Posted: 6/9/13 at 8:24pmStrong opening number and I freaking loved the Matilda performance. Makes me want to see the show even more than I already did.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 8:24pmBRING IT ON really should have performed "What I was born to do".
#115The Official TONY Awards Thread
Posted: 6/9/13 at 8:25pmThis reeks of In The Heights. Need to branch out a bit there, Lin.

I was just thinking earlier today how I kind of regret missing Bring It On.
Not anymore.
#118The Official TONY Awards Thread
Posted: 6/9/13 at 8:25pmYeah, I loved this show but this is horrible.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 8:25pmWhat song are they singing from BRING IT ON?
"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

Lin's stuff all sounds the same, see the opening number to this award show.
This is just terrible. I hope it wins best musical lol.

Loved the opening number.
No desire to see Matida or Bring it on.
Saw Judith Light last year in Other Desert Cities. She's a wonderful actress!.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 8:26pmIt definitely screams In The Heights to me. I don't hate it, but it certainly is not original for that reason.

Heck, I laughed at some of them....so did the RCMH audience.
And, yes, Ms Light was quite classy!
