"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."
Maybe it's the fact that she is a Broadway legend, but something about Audra's performance had my eyes glued to the screen, mouth agape the entire time.
That song, much like every other song performed at the Tonys, works so much better in context. Audra just looked like she was crazy. She was brilliant, but people who don't know the show wouldn't get it I think.
I have really enjoyed the performances so far. I hope for at least one win for Curtains! What a spectacular cast, performing an acceptable song, not awesome, but pretty good. I still love the CD though!
