Posted: 6/9/13 at 8:27pmThey have five minutes to sell the show to a national audience to lead up to their tour and this is what they decided to do? Glad I never saw this..

Posted: 6/9/13 at 8:27pmThis is definitely not making me regret not seeing BRING IT ON. I'm bored.

re: Opening Number. A big bust.
I loved it, as did most on the board it seems.
But am curious for details why you didn't?

I had 96,000 drinks before I saw BRING IT ON. After that performance, I'm thinking maybe that's why I liked it....
Regardless, I feel like it didn't do it justice. It was fun.

Was that the sequel to In The Heights?

Posted: 6/9/13 at 8:29pmI loved Bring It On and this was NOT the number I would have chosen at all. It was way better than this.

Judith Light was so great.
I saw In the Heights and even though all the music sounds pretty much the same and the set it is hideous, they had better stuff to present. They were certainly given a great opportunity there. My only regret is I'm watching this live and unable to fast-forward my TIvo.

Opening number:
Unfocused. A mishmash. Horrible song, awful lyrics. Who wrote that tripe?

Posted: 6/9/13 at 8:31pmI'm liking the introductions of each performance by current Broadway shows.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 8:32pmI was lucky enough to see the opening number the morning in the theater. It was amazing there and I thought it translated well to the TV screen. I LOVED it.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 8:33pmI personally LOVED the opening number and thought NPH NAILED it! I was a cheerleader and so was my daughter, but that number from "Bring it On" was NOT good in my opinion! They all looked so old too! Yeah- I just said that.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 8:33pmIt's so big of Alan to present, given the unforgivable snub.

So wait, "characters" from shows are introducing stuff in "character"?? Argh. So weird to see Musfasa with a mic.
NPH should fire his joke writer. You can hear the audience faking it.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 8:35pmWas it me, or did Scarlett totally roll her eyes and drop the class for a moment?

Posted: 6/9/13 at 8:35pmSO happy for Gabriel Ebert! Definitely the most deserving nominee in that category.

Good for Gabe.
But Keith Carradine should have won.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 8:36pmOh God this is bad. Gabriel Ebert winning for featured, and so early on. This means they've honored Ebert and not going to honor Bertie perhaps....? :-/
