re: Tony dress rehearsal

"Whoopi: Phantom of the Tony's"

^ What was that?

re: Tony dress rehearsal

My PC crashed on me! What'd I miss? It looks and sounds like a commercial break right now (being a plain black screen with no audio). Has it turned back into a rehearsal yet, or has it still just been shots of Times Square?

Notes from the Earlham Street Gutter

re: Tony dress rehearsal

Just Times Sq., Weez.

Also - my TV listings for today show a Tony Nominees Concert on CBS at 5pm (4 in NY) ??

re: Tony dress rehearsal

I had that too, but now it's just a test screen with a tone.
#106

re: Tony dress rehearsal

#107

re: Tony dress rehearsal

re: Tony dress rehearsal

and ... now it's a freeze-frame of a pigeon. and a very attractive pigeon it is!

re: Tony dress rehearsal

Ahh! That terrible noise that comes with those colour bars.
I had turned on the CR of Merrily We Roll Along because I had gotten bored without audio, and then BAM! There goes my ear drums.

"Whoopi: Phantom of the Tony's"
^ What was that?

Whoopi was playing Christine Daae, riding in the boat to the Phantom's lair singing Phantom of the Opera with alternate lyrics.

re: Tony dress rehearsal

This just in; the Tonys will now be hosted by that pigeon.

It will also be replacing Patti LuPone in Gypsy when she finishes her run.
#115

re: Tony dress rehearsal

Don't know about anyone else, but I had an audio-less, obviously pre-recorded feed of Times Square for several minutes, which recently cut out and is currently the same black screen you now have.

And now it's a test pattern. And now, people in line for "The View"... and now it's frozen on an Asian lady and a pigeon with a grey-bearded gentleman in tinted glasses looking on.

I can't see how this whole thing wasn't an accident - Equity and the other unions surely wouldn't allow streaming of a rehearsal - there are contracts and payments due and all that. Plus the actors couldn't have known that they were going be watched over the web before noon on a Sunday the morning after a two-show day with a matinee and an awards ceremony still to do, and certainly wouldn't be happy about it.

I suspect someone didn't secure a link they were supposed to or something and it's finally been caught...
#116

re: Tony dress rehearsal

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Equity wouldn't like this.

I just have a black screen now-no audio.
#117

re: Tony dress rehearsal

Yeah that's what I figure too. I've given up - plus it makes me feel not guilty for prewatching all the performances and stuff.
#118

re: Tony dress rehearsal

It's just too bad we didn't have audio on Patti when they were apparently having some sort of technical issues. Would have been nice to be a fly on the wall when that happened.

Racist. What's wrong with black?

But yes. Yes it is.
