Best choice, I guess......

I thought the show was good....really spotlighting the shows and musicals....and almost ended on time.

Sound problems again though.

MEMPHIS is a good listen.
I may seek out FELA, since Cillaliz recommends the artist.
I have Green Day's AMERICAN IDIOT, do I need the OBC?
MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET is also an enjoyable listen.

A bit of a disclaimer - I haven't listened to it in years, so I hope I would still like it.

Well, I'm about 10 minutes behind the "live" (delayed for the west coast) broadcast...I just heated up a couple of fully cooked hamburger patties and they were very good.  But, I rewound the broadcast so I wouldn't miss anything. :)

No spoilers needed.

Well, I watched the show after almost turning off after the opening number.  Glad for the many RED wins, sorry Molina didn't win.  All the muscle-bound dancers in LA CAGE made for very uinbelieveable, awfully butch drag queens.  I hated all the musical nominations...wouldn't want to see any of those shows and I found the numbers assaultive.  And I'm tired of seeing anorexic women.  Kristen Chenoweth and Cate Blanchett, eat a steak!

Well,  the show is intened as commercial for Broadway - and they did about  as they could with the material at hand.

Thank you for the lovely Tony Party, BK, even though I didn't understand anything going on.

I used to love watching the Tony Awards. I would see so many things I hoped would tour and decide which CDs to buy. Seems like the last few years have been very disappointing.

The PROMISES PROMISES dance was indeed the Overture; same one on the OBC, soon to be released anew. I caught that and the Twyla Tharp number, then turned to Masterpiece Theatre and watched the last 45 minutes of EMMA.

The Broadway i came to New York to work in no longer exists. I caught the last show.

The partay is just beginning here - hope some people stay around.

The opening number was a perfect statement for how completely bankrupt the Broadway musical has come.  And having Kristin do Say A Little Prayer instead of an ACTUAL song from the real Promises, Promises, was so predictable and terrible.  I hated every second of the opening.  And I didn't like Million Dollar Quartet's number either - I mean, for me - who cares?

And the pumping up of the audience screaming is nauseating, as is the direction and sound.

Watch Catherine Zeta-Jones' head when she does the number from A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC.

I thought she was going to do a complete spin-around, ala THE EXORCIST.
