My sister needs me at 9:00 am :o to help put up the tent for the PFLAG booth. I'll stay for a while, and might walk in the parade. The whole event supposed to end at 6:00 pm (or maybe 5:00...sources vary), so I plan on being home before the left coast broadcast of the Tony Awards at 8:00.

He enjoys talking about the case and his "celebrity" in it....he was also a Showcase Winner on The Price Is Right....wearing his uniform...

I don't know if he is featured in any of the NEW material, but I am sure if he was asked, he was there!

Nice guy....but not exactly....trustworthy. He is now the partner of a very wealthy man with whom he lives in the Carolinas.....

I would really rather see a number from The Great Comet - I liked the one they presented last year....

I suspect the producers are paying for it to push the tour going out.

They're updating for the tour, afraid that tour crowds won't like the challenging aspects of the story:

Evan will suffer from very high self-esteem rather than very low self-esteem; he'll have parents who drive him to get caught in a lie by being there too much (the mother's great show-stopping number doesn't even need to be rewritten that much, just a new costume); and instead of consoling Connor's family for Connor's suicide, Connor will have just left to join a production of GYPSY as Tulsa. The new title will, of course, be DEAR EVAN HANDSOME.

It'll kill in Vegas, for sure. Will likely sit down there for years.

Whatever. He's still friends with a lot of her friends and I knew she didn't know this. So, I had to fill her in and listen to her go through a couple of stages of grief.

But a subject I've never seen in an opening number: Since the hosts never won anything ever (can that be right), it started with a subject likem Here's to the people who go home emptyhanded.

Did Groban and Bareilles really never win any award ever? Or was that just for the sake of the song?

I've heard the numbers are mostly not too hot. And having JUST watched Carousel, the choreography is so bad - I don't know why people like this guy - it's just ordinary stuff, a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing. And the other numbers, especially the opening are much worse. Certainly the worst Carousel Waltz I've ever seen.

I'd like to thank my mother for her encouragement - oh, wait - scratch that - I'd like to thank my business partners at a label that no longer exists - oh, wait, scratch that - I'd like to thank my chia pet, I'd like to thank Sambucol and Airborne, I'd like to thank, most especially, the Wacky Noodles I ate earlier this day.

I think we can say winners - clearly the West Coast contingent doesn't care and won't be here. What won - Carousel of My Fairfax Lady?

Excuse me? The Tony broadcast didn’t even start on the West coast until 8:00. Why spoil it for us by posting the winners’ names?

Post by: George on June 11, 2018, 12:20:59 AM: Well, I hate to do this (no, I really do), but I need to go to sleep now. Today was quite the busy day, and I stood for most of it while outside in the alternating warm sun and cold rain, and now I'm tired. I had to get up much earlier than I normally do, even earlier than my normal weekday wakings! :P I can barely keep my eyes open, so I'm not going to try anymore.

Good night and have a good day tomorrow, all!
