deinitely a wtf....i'm almost crying, but not for the reasons I'd hoped.

Raul needed this validation....you could read the disappointment all over his face. Kinda like when Nick Nolte and Lauren bacall were talked up so much for Oscars and then didn't win. The virtually had Raul coronated and it sucks ass that he didn't win.

After Raul just got robbed I thought Audra was gonna pull an upset too. Fantasia, never was a fan but she was awsome. Raul was the best performance tonight and it wasnt fair. DHP was good raul was grand. I got 4 awards wrong tonight being Raul, featured actress in a play, book and chreography. Otherthan those im rather happy.

I was worried for a moment because they had a long pause. Yay Christie! 2-time Tony Award winner.

Yay Christine! A class act! I'm not very religious, but God bless her. She'll forever be a legend in the hearts of theatregoers.

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.

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.

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?

A phenomenon? Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, et cetera, are bonafide phenomenons.

Spring Awakening just started getting close to the general 80-90% seats filled area.

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!!!!!!
