"I don't like the medleys either, but Sweeney's worked pretty dammn well."
I'm sorry but I have to disagree. You can't cut all Sondheim's songs into pieces and put them into a medley. The whole performance was so random, badly adapted, very choppy and had no sense at all, just as worse as the Tony performance of Into the Woods Revival several years ago which was disorganized very much in the medley form. They should only do one scene from the show instead of doing a medley!
If the Best Musical is judged according to the performances IN the Tony Awards, no matter why Sweeney lost.
Somebody sit in my chair, and ruin my sleep, and make me aware of being alive!
