Liked the Book of Mormon opening, didn't like the Neil Patrick Harris number much - is it yet another Shaiman/Wittman thing - that stuff is boring me to tears. And the Newsies number - horrible. Everything I hate about today's choreography - no storytelling - can you imagine what Michael Kidd would have done with something like that? And no big musical numbers have rideouts anymore - I HATE that. They sing the last word and pose - that's the end of every number these days. Can you imagine Hello, Dolly with that kind of ending. Dolly will never go away again - pose. Terrible. And I'm guessing Rob Ashford did the Neil Patrick Harris number - at least it looked like his usual crap. I really liked Judith Light's speech.

Michael McGrath won on the west coast broadcast, too.

I was rather hoping things might turn out a little differently.

Mainly in the latter part of the show.

'Night, all!

The Danny number was just as I remembered it in the revival - too manic, too busy.

The mash-ups - not so funny.

bk · « **Reply #369 on:** June 10, 2012, 08:43:35 PM »

Other than that, I'm enjoying it.

If that's the little girl who's playing Annie, she's going to be wonderful.

I spent the evening at a church cookout. I will have to catch the youtubes tomorrow.

George · « **Reply #372 on:** June 10, 2012, 08:49:52 PM »

So...how about that number from Ghost?

George · « **Reply #373 on:** June 10, 2012, 08:53:01 PM »

Mike Nichols just got bleeped. I wonder what he said.

That looks like fun....Nice Work If You Can Get It.....

Was it supposed to be funny that she was posed as Annie Oakley with a rifle while singing "Someone to Watch OVer Me"

I wish that they had done the number they did on THE VIEW. It featured both leads much better and IMO sold the show better. I actually think that this is the only show I would really like to see.

Jennifer · « **Reply #375 on:** June 10, 2012, 09:01:51 PM »

I think a lot of the musicals did not pick the right numbers to showcase their shows. An example for me is Evita. I know Ricky Martin is a big name and agree that he should have been in the number. But the show is Eva Peron. I want to see if this actress is any good. From that number I have no idea.

That Ghost number was just about the nadir of anything I have ever seen EVER. Awful! And Jesus Christ, Superstar? Well, no thank you.

Is what they showed on the Tonys an accurate portrayal of how the show is?

We missed the beginng of the show - I joined as the Porgy & Bess number was being performed - if anyone is taping it I would greatly appreciate a copy

I'm recording it...I will be happy to send you a copy.

Make sure you record over 10 minutes.

Jennifer · « **Reply #386 on:** June 10, 2012, 09:12:16 PM »

I love Neil Patrick Harris as host. I wish he could have done more. Loved his opening, and his closing.

Make sure all you West Coasters recording record 10 minutes extra. Or you'll miss Best Musical and NPH's number.

I didn't think it showcased the show too well.

Also didn't care for the Newsies number too much.

Mike Nichols was amusing.

See i did not like his speech at all. To me he was rambling. There were a few speeches i loved like best featured actress in a musical.
