Oh God. I may vomit.
No more Word of Mouth. It's gone too far.

Posted: 6/11/07 at 7:05pmI didn't think they were nearly as annoying as they usually are.

Oh god, no no NO. Please, anything but! Let the Jersey Boys present the whole ceremony! Give Lead Actor in a Musical to Groff, give Lead Actress in a Musical to Bundy, announce that all the shows are rubbish therefore theatre is henceforth banned in New York, ANYTHING but Word Of Mouth at the Tonys, PLEASE! *cries*

I feel the same way, Weez.
I would sooner read that Michael John LaChiusa and Jason Robert Brown died in a car crash and that all copies of the scores of Parade and Dreamgirls were lost in a fire than see something like...this.

!!!! I just realized this, but I think I know one of those Word of Mouth people. Why I didn't recognize this before, beats me.

Oh my God, which one is it? And make sure he or she never sees these message boards.
They must never know the truth.

Oh lord, which one? If it's Audrey or Cat, PLEASE do me a favour and slap her. Srsly, I'll give you a nice shiny penny if you do. An English penny! It's worth twice as much as your US pennies!

WOW!!! I didn't realize there was so much hatred towards "word of mouth"
I really like watching them. I don't agree with them frequently, but I still enjoy them.
You guys are brutal... Jason Robert Brown? Dreamgirls?

I pretty much agreed with most of what they said.
My favorite speech of the night was David Hyde Pierce's (even though he didn't deserve the award this year). So enormously emotional and surprised... absolutely perfect in every way.
Oh, and for anyone who likes Word of Mouth:

MattBrain- That is not how you spell Tonys.
Whose garden is Phyllis wearing?!
#20re: Word of Mouth Goes To The Tonys
Posted: 6/11/07 at 9:30pmDo you think Broadway.com will continue to this next season? If so, will they keep the same people or get new ones. If they get new ones, I would love to find out if there's a way to get a spot so that BWW people with good taste could give real reviews and tell it like it is.
#21re: Word of Mouth Goes To The Tonys
Posted: 6/11/07 at 9:33pmI am definatly sucking up to the person I know on WOM, so I can get on this thing. You know, in case they ask them for recomendations.

im perplexed by the negative reaction -- i thought this was the most genuine segment of WOM since the entire train wreck began.
they were as articulate as they've ever been, their opinions were as informed as they've ever been, they LOOKED better than they ever have (except for the flower shop that exploded on girlfriend's lapel, of course), and they were as likeable as they've ever been.
perhaps a year of inanity set the bar too low, but this was at worst harmless, imho.

Posted: 6/11/07 at 10:41pmIt was just the shock in general seeing those dreaded three words and the word Tonys (there. Now I spelled it right) in the same phrase.

Posted: 6/11/07 at 10:53pmI'm surprised Phyllis didn't bring the pot with her so the plant felt more at home.
