Who is seeing a show tonight?

As we know, tonight will have some amazing energy going on due to the Tony Awards. Who is seeing what?

I don't live in the city, so I've never been to a first show after. Will be seeing The Humans and Eclipsed this weekend.

I'll be at Hamilton tonight!

Well.. I entered the lotto for hamilton.. lol

I'm also seeing the father tonight, it also completes getting to see all of the best play and best revival of play nominees.

Not NYC, but Anastasia :)

Seeing Shuffle Along tonight!!! I'll be cheering on the dancers and the choreography that should have won the Tony.

Hamilton had an energy tonight that brought out the best in everyone.

Special entrance applause, longer 'Bravos' after big numbers, and sustained cheering during the curtain call.

'Quiet Uptown' was the most emotional I've ever seen it. Not a dry eye.

It's the last time I plan to see this show. And I loved every moment of it tonight. Grateful to have this special memory.

What a fun night at Hamilton. As NYadgal said, lots of entrance applause and extra cheers at the big numbers. Some people (Diggs, Jackson) got entrance applause multiple times--in the opening number and then their first big number. I think every single person with a solo in the opening number got entrance applause.



I thought I remembered that the music usually started as Leslie Odom Jr. Was walking out, but this time he walked out, and they waited to start the music. Huge pause when LMM came out as well. I thought the audience would never stop cheering. I was very pleased to hear such enthusiastic responses for the ENTIRE cast, not just the winners and nominees.



Leslie's performance seemed like he found a new burst of energy. He was clearly channeling his intense emotions into Burr. It was fantastic and he deserved that Tony. Daveed Diggs likewise seemed more comfortable than ever--he was hamming it up extra where appropriate. When he enters as Jefferson he amped up the crowd even more than usual. And the cabinet battles elicited even more cheers than they normally do.



The Room Where It Happens was my favorite number of the night though. Odom was in top form. Just incredible. I wanted so badly to leap to my feet at the end of the song but I always feel so awkward starting those things. Oh well... The cheers were super enthusiastic.



Jasmine Cephas Jones was out tonight and Sasha Hutchings was in for her.

Funny, this just reminded me... While I was watching the Tonys, my friends and I became rather depressed while they were going through Best Rivival of a Play. All of the plays were just so depressing (and the music didn't help!) this year in the revival category, but then they did Noises Off and we were smiling again, lol.

But its NOT a 'regular' performance, its the first post-Tony performance, a chance to celebrate for/with the cast.

I was also at Hamilton last night, and it was my first time being there. I picked the first post-Tony performance to attend in the hopes that it would be a special one with the vast majority of the main cast, so I was THRILLED that my expectations were met on both fronts.

The most amazing thing for me was realizing how Renee Elise Goldsberry and Daveed Diggs didn't seem to miss a note all night. Everyone else has moments where you can tell it's LIVE theater, but those two were almost eerily perfect.

I wasn't impressed with Jasmine's replacement (who isn't the usual understudy, if I recall), but she was fine.

Overall...it was so worth every penny.

Well, at the last second, I'm seeing Matilda before it closes :)
