Wish I were there!! Looks like a BLAST! Too bad about the rain, I'm sure many more people might have shown up!
I'll have to plan on going to Times Square on Tony night next year...that is, if they do it again...
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
