FINALLY, we can put to rest the insane notion that LBB might win Best Actress in a Musical. Final tally of Tonys that "Legally Blonde" won is...ZERO! Which is as it should be.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
Yep, he said "Audrey"---- he must have been in the theatre Friday night, Jordan.... everyone in the audience was calling her Audrey !!!
Happy for CE as well ! She deserved it.
I thought for a split second that Audra was going to win it--- I had this feeling come over me after it seemed like the audience cheered louder for her than Christine when the nominees were announced.
Did the producer just call Spring Awakening a phenomenon? Really? It's not as if musicals never rocked before, and rock is so easy to translate on stage considering that's where they originated.
The makers of Spring Awakening sound like a bunch of dorks who think they all of sudden became the cool kids.
"I've got to get me out of here
This place is full of dirty old men
And the navigators and their mappy maps
And moldy heads and pissing on sugar cubes
While you stare at your books."
Now that this is over, I can share that from 9p to 10p ET a LOT of the people backstage at RCMH were watching the last episode of "The Sopranos". That says a lot, doesn't it?
It saddens me to think Spring Awakening won as many awards as Sweeney Todd did in 1979.

What was with all that shameless self-indulgence of Ben Vereen and Usher, especially what Ben Vereen said about Usher taking the time out of his schedule "watching his basketball team play to be there tonight!" It makes everyone else seem so insignificant. And after they announced that they were each other's "godson" and "godfather" 50 times I think we got the picture!!!!!!
It's awful that I can't fully enjoy Spring Awakening winning because of how PISSED I am about Raul Esparza losing. And the look on his face when it happened was just heartbreaking...
SA really is running this "Broadway accepts a musical that ROCKS" into the ground
- I ABSOLUTELY agree. I am not a RENT fan. But JESUS. I'll say it again. Rent did the SAME exact thing 11 years ago. SA isn't that frickin' original. They make it sound like they are the first modern rock musical.
As much as I would have been thrilled for GG if it had won, I'm glad Spring Awakening has cleaned house. And I'm even more grateful that we've had two amazing original musicals intorduced this year.
Then again, ANYTHING would have been better than last year...
